Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

0-60?

Cheating.....lol Says who? The guy that lost?

Your Elantra will never gain a lot of power without spending some money. People put thousands into their Betas to only gain a second.

The manual swap will get you a good improvement though.

As far as keeping the engine bay a little cooler, you can remove the rubber weatherstrip piece at the rear of the engine bay. This will allow for engine heat to escape through the back a bit. The drawback to this is that you may need to use the defroster a bit more on cooler days, but it does help. I remove mine every summer and it's worked pretty well. No gains, but deff a cooler engine.

There are no other mods under $100 that will help you in any way as far as gains are concerned.
