Was there ever a turbo kit made for the Accent?
 

I know Alpine made turbo and supercharger kits for Tiburons and Elantras, and NGM made them for the GKs, but was there ever a turbo kit made for Accents? A complete kit I mean not one that you piece together yourself.

other than ebay universal kits, or one offs made by members or tuners, no.

sr sold a kit for a little while

and iirc so did hdk



turboing the accent is a waste of money

Yeah I just checked, seoulfulracing doesn't sell the kit anymore. Actually they dont sell anything for the accent anymore. This car has really terrible aftermarket support :(

He said just before he got beat by one on the track...https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org/f.../happyanim.gif

lol sorry, but I found that to be funny.

It would be best to do a beta swap and then turbo the beta engine.

lol most turbo alpha's have the same hp as beta with a cold air intake



well worth the THOUSANDS spent turboing it

I own an Accent, so trust me when I say..... Buy another car if you want/need to go fast. That's what I did. I did up my suspension in my Accent and it made my car fun to drive, but for less than what my Accent is worth I bought a 225 - 250 hp + AWD car to fix up / spend money on. :biggrin:

I'm not sure if I buy into this whole philosophy though. I mean, modifying a car is a fundamentally bad economic decision. Just... be reasonable with your money, but there's no need to junk a perfectly good car because your intended mods make up most of its worth.

I agree with you on that Wheel. Although it's more of a hobby and like all hobbies do what you like and what makes you happy. Oh never junk a good car. Even after i bought my other car and started doing things to it I still drove my Accent. I still do. Not as much but its there. Been teaching my younger brother to drive stick with it.



I say do what you want with your car, it's your choice. Now i didnt go out and buy a full turbo kit. Plus the work needed to fit a turbo after spending a few hundred dollars on a Beta swap when i could just piece together a DIY turbo on the Alpha for the same price or less I felt was much more worth it. and sorry, again, but a turboed 1.6 at even 5 psi makes more power to the wheels than a Beta with I/H/E or very very close to it. Although a turboed Beta makes bigger gains. I went from 100 whp with I/H/E on my Alpha to 5 psi and beta injectors and gained 40 whp. Thats more than any mod would yield an N/A car and all for less than $600. Shoot you want to talk about swapping bigger engines why not drop a Delta? Or shoot throw down some real money and drop a Gen Coupe 2.0 or Sonata Turbo into the little thing?



Either way I'm glad I did it and I will never tell anyone wanting to modify their car in anyway that it's a waste of time, it's stupid, or worse that they are stupid for wanting to. What I did was fun, I learned a lot of things from a lot of very helpful guys (some from this forum) I most likely never would have learned and although I never really reached my goals with the car Im still happy i did it and how it turned out and I did despite the insults on and off the forum.



So anyone who thinks it's ok to insult someone for wanting to do things to their car or perform a particular mod that they don't agree with can https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org/f...ault/gtfo2.gif
