Cheap upgrades: Hyundai Accent

[espresso8097]

I am looking for cheap performance upgrades that can be done to a 2001 Hyundai Accent GS. Any ideas?

I tried asking at a Hyundai specific forum board, but most of them were only concerned with the the Tiburon or getting better fuel economy.

~$400 max price.

Used Nitrous kit off ebay? Maybe like a 50 shot?

cold air intake to start... make a custom one, really cheap. custom exhaust? that should be about 400

X2, Custom intake is probably the only thing you can do.

I'm gonna have to agree. You won't see anything unless you throw in some money at it.

 

[Mook]

honestly, id just leave it be and save up money for something worth modding. not a knock against you but its not a car worth modding, at all....unless you wanna do some real serious custom work

My GF has an accent. I LOL everytime it starts. Or I hear the little ding dong ding dong chime it gives when the key is put in.

Ya should have opted for the GT.

IIRC A certain Hyundai model is compatible with a 4G63T Head/Turbo? or is that a Kia or something of the sort? I know mitsu. made motors for one of those companies fairly recently and heard you could do headswaps, or motor swaps with other mitsu motors fairly easily into one of them.

 

[Mook]

i highly doubt its kia

 

[Dasfinc]

i highly doubt its kia

I'm fairly certain its Hyundai, I just don't recall what models/engines were compatible.

 

[Mook]

i think some hyundai's use a NA version of the 4g

 

[Mr Baytchos]

yeah the only thing you can really do is a motor swap or a turbo.

Check this stuff out as well...but it is all DIY

Fish they have a fix for the ding dong chime.

I agree totally but if he really wants to do something there are some ideas. There basically is no aftermarket for hyundai except the tiburon and for good reason. There not race cars.

Yea, I'll get on the boat also,

Motorswap with a 46g3, or just put gas in it.

I will just save for a nice cheap fun car or bike. Seen plenty of late-80's RX-7 around here for cheap.

Have seen that it is possible to put in an Accent engine, but for that price just get something else. The Accent will at least not rape my wallet with gas when in college.

If you really want to do something to it, I would say nitrous. You can at least take that off and transfer it to another vehicle.

Theres a fix? I seriously thought it was a little fairy that rattled a little bell everytime the door was opened or a key was turned.
