Performance wise, what's out there that can give me a little more "oomph"

I've already got an intake ($30 on ebay yeah.gif ) and i've been looking into
exaust/mufflers, and ram air. I found a $17 muffler but I'm scared it'll sound like
sh??, and I don't know if it'll fit my car. And a $50 squrrel cage for the ram air
but I don't know how much of a gain to expect.

BTW: Does any one know of a shop in VA that'll let you use their lift?

 

Well if you have money to shell into to it, their is always a beta swap or turbo. It all depends on what you want to get out of it!!

 

I'd love to but, I can usually only get like $30 - $50 spending cash at a time.

Edit: Where can I get the "gauge holder" that runs along the winshield? I've seen
them at advance auto but never for the 03 Accent.

 

For $30-$50 there isn't a whole lot.

You could get a phenolic spacer for that or possibly have someone weld on a new muffler to your exhaust. It won't make you any faster in a straight line but a strut tower brace can be had for around $50.

It's tough to mod a Hyundai on $50 or less.

 

You probly have to make a custom one. I dont think they make one for the Accents. I custom made mines.

Save up the cash, buy parts here and their. Thats what I had to do. But my turbo project is on hold. Since I head to a crap on me. So I'm just goin BETA and then turbo that.

 

Does anyone know if these are worth anything?

I've used larger versions of these when I worked for an entertainment
company, despite their size they are very strong, but I've never seen
one powered by a car battery or this small.

 

Garbage, never buy one of these.

 

To reiterate Whiplash's statement no those are worthless. They do not work and can in fact potentially damage your engine if one of the fan blades breaks.

 

The fan blade part settled it, I won't be getting it, but aside from that what makes it any different from a hood scoop?

My big fear was it would put too much strain on the filter and damage it.

We used a blower about 3x that size to hold this up (and it's full of holes).

(I'm not trying to instigate just courious)

 

Basically the issue is that your engine is able to suck more air volume in on it's own than the fans are able to move at high RPM operation causing a restriction. At low RPM operation you would probably see slightly improved throttle response and even a couple lb/ft of torque increase below 3000 RPM's or so with one of these but you'll lose that much or more up where you really want it.

It is possible to make a system with an electric supercharger work, but it takes higher than 12 volts. If you get up to 36 volts you can start making the setup work on paper but you'll be running an 8 horsepower electric motor at that point and you'll need a fairly complex isolated electrical system just for the electric supercharger and you'll only be able to run it for short bursts.

Thomas Knight makes a system like I describe but you'll be paying enough in the end that you might as well have just boosted your car with a conventional F/I setup by the time you're done.
