Hyundai Accent Forum The Hyundai Accent Forum. Hyundai's little champ. While the Hyundai Accent and Hyundai Excel may be small, they respond very well to aftermarket modifications and is among the favorites for Hyundai tuners.

Was there ever a turbo kit made for the Accent?

I have a turbo on the 1.6 alpha and it has been a blast.



I have also blown up a motor!!!!



I am currently working with a programmer and we do have success in modifying the stock ecu.



I should have results soon.







The kit is currently off the car as I use this for a daily driver. Once we have the ecu tuning in place, I will reinstall. I can also duplicate them.



If anyone is interested, you can buy this one for $1500

^^^ Seriously!?



What is done to the motor internals? The MAJOR issue with putting a turbo on an Alpha is the rings sit too high up on the piston..... POP!

where did you get a programmer? do you have to tune them to turbo them? i have a 09 accent with bolt ons but i still need more power. i cant find a kit anywhere so im trying to find honda turbo manifolds that are close to the alpha manifold.
