Just curious, my knowledge of Hyundai's history spans back to the day I bought my car. So I was just curious to know if Hyundai has ever produced a Turboed engine for any of their vehicles. And if they haven't, what would be the probable reasons for it.
Peace.

 

Scoupe Turbo

 

i beleive their concept HCD-III is sportin the variable valve beta and a turbo. not that this is an option for home made fun. but maybe something to look foward 2.

 

Yeah, the Scoup Turbo. I believe it was a 1992 model.

 

I think he should of known about the Scoupe, so maybe he is thinking that since that was a Mitsubishi engine (I think so, someone correct me if Im wrong) that Hyundai really didnt make it... or maybe Im wrong, anyway, one day that 240 HP Turbo'd Beta is gonna be availible, if we all keep wishing...

 

There is another turbo Hyundai. It is the Starex. It's a turbodiesel making 100hp.

 

Why must we sit around and wait for Hyundai to wake up and smell the coffee? Lets not wish for the Turbo Beta, since they've already produced it, lets demand that they utilize it in a new Elantra, Tiburon, or even an Accent {just don't let the Accent drive around with 240 horse.}
It seems to me that Hyundai is the only automotive manufacturer that is oblivious to the fact that their exsists an after-market... market. Mazda has thier MP3, and Protege 5, Toyota has their new Corola Type-S, Honda has their SiR, Ford has thier Focus ZX3, Dodge and their Neon R/T, Nissan and their Sentra Spec-V.
Hyundai Accent GSi, a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine producing a whopping 106 horse. I'd like to see at least a 150 horse Accent that you can buy from the dealership.

 

Don't forget that Cheuk has mentioned a local-market Atos Tuurbo 800cc, wonder if they're avalible for export damn man it would like be so damn cuuuuuuuuute!!!! tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

 

Yeah, but we do not have the privilege of seeing the Atos here in North America. Isn't the engine in the Atos the Epsilon? I think its only a 1 litre, and they turboed it? Why the h3ll wouldn't they do that to the Alpha or Beta?

 

I was under the impression that the Scoupe Turbo engine was the first of the Hyundai-built Alpha engines. Am I correct? Cos the non-turbo scoupes have the same specs and hp numbers as the Accent's engine. As far as I know, the turbo engine just has lower comp pistons and a turbo (obviously).
