Hyundai Aftermarket

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.

Does this lower your compression or mess with your air/fuel mix?

it lowers compression, which decreases power. It can also contaminate your oil with gasoline, causing increase in friction and possible permanent damage to con-rods, crank, cams, etc.
