i have a 99 hyundai elentra do ya think i can get it lowerd? i havent found any kits 4 my car but do ya think they have like somewut unieversial lowerin kits? and how much do turbo chargers cost cuz the turbo charger 4 the tiberon fits the elantra :naughty: . o ya and this is probly a stupid question but wuts the difrence betwen a turbo charger and supercharger. :icon16:

turbo runs off exhaust gases (makes the turbo spool up and force air into the manifold).

supercharger runs of the crank (crank turns a pulley that makes the SC spool and force air into the manifold).

i'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a universal lowering kit. you're probably gonna have some trouble finding parts for your car but google is your best friend in this case. may take a while, but you should be able to find something

My god, A turbocharged Elantra??

witch do ya think is beter a turbo or super charger. ya the perfect sleeper,lol and it has more hp then the 99 honda civic

hey sk8er nice honda, were did ya get it, i could only find one good car it was a acura integra, i did a yellow one and orange one the look prety good. o ya and nice paint job expacily on the si

Turbos vary from about $2000 up. And you could always just cut your springs.

ok. hey good idea but it b kinda hard 2

i say forget the elantra take the 4'g you gona spend into the car and sell the elantra and buy a dsm or some thing turbo and go form there.. alot cheaper and easier to do my $o.o2

o ya i was thinkin bout selin it and getin an 89 honda crx. do ya think thats a good idea? ive seen some prety fast crx's and the look good 2.

forget the crx and get a 1st gen dsm (eclipse gsx/talon tsi) they are almost the same price and way quicker.. hell if you want a sleeper look for a galant vr-4 i belive it has the same motor as the gsx/tsi, and its awd i believe and made in the early 90's i think.. not to sure do the research..

yes for anything that you hold sacred do not turbo or supercharge a hyundai...not only for the fact that youre putting one of those on a hyundai but also its just too much money for what you have...like what was said...if you want a fast car...sell your car and buy one...despite the fact that i generally dont like ricer cars any one of the options listed above would be better than a turbo/supercharged hyundai...id say go with a talon...easy to mod and fairly quick...you could get about 5 grand for selling your car, plus the 4 + gs you would spend on a turbo/supercharger and lowering it and get something nice for around 8-10 gs...thats what i would do if i were you...and thats if you have that 4 or 5 grand you would have spent on your mods ready

but this hyundai is fast, it excelerates realy fast wich is good 4 1/4mile. and i dont have 4 or 5g's i have like 11bucks,lol. but i might b getin like 2g in a lil while. ima stick wit my hyundai plus its faster then any 99 or below civic and theres alot round here.

yea i know that you want to be different.. i can relate.. i drive a probe for god sakes.. no one expects this car to be fast but when i put a hole in them its the best feeling.. i love when people underestimate me.. man i say go ahead and work on your hyundai! you be the first and one of the few to have a sleeper hyundai.. its gona be hard but its worth it.. i say do a 2.5 cat back and get a cone filer, next get some bigger injectors, 350cc+ and a safc to turne it then a 255in tank.. get some iridum plugs and upgrade your wires and coil if you can.. but the injectors and fuel pump can be used form almost any car, the exhasut u can get bent at a shop, and ia cone filter is at pep boys with your name on it, just be creative and it will all work, now with the mods i just told you to do.. save up and get a mainfold made and drop a small turbo boost 8psi and youll be good to go!.. good luck

Yes I'm sure your 92 HP engine is a monster eating 99 civics left and right.:disappoin

Hyundai Motor Co. was found guilty of falsifying engine output figures of 15 models of its cars following investigations by the Korean Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT) early last year.

The alleged Hyundai engine hp inflation rate, which varies from country to country, is directly proportionate to car size; i.e, the bigger the car, the higher the rate which reaches 40% in trucks. For example, Avante/Lantra/Elantra is sold in many countries as having a 114 hp engine while in truth its engine output is only 92 hp. It is sold in Korea as having 108 hp engine. Hyundai heavy trucks whose engine output is 255 hp are sold as having 330 hp engines. Hyundai allegedly started to practice such false labeling from 1990.

Hyundai models which are allegedly falsely labeled include Santa Fe, Sonata, Elantra, Accent, Coupe, Trajet, Matrix, Terracan and all commercial vehicle models.

ya its always fun 2 c the look on there faces,lol. alright thanx 4 the suport and tips.

lol thats funy i herd bout that 4 the tiby but i dont think thats true on my car cuz ive blown away acouple civics do ya know wut year they stoped false avertising, its probly b4 99

My god, A turbocharged Elantra??

Its been done before. Just go to Puerto Rico.

Old MR2 anyone Old MR2?
My friend got a 1990 Turbo for 2 grand all he had to do was get rid of some rust and fix the clutch it was worth it

I think you should save up $40 and go buy maximum boost by corky bell or buy turbochargers by hugh macinnies. An elantra doesn't really strike me as a beast waiting to be awakened. That engine probably couldn't handle too much and where are you going to find parts for it? Read those books and look into another car.

shark racing makes air intake, strut bar, clutch system, came sprocket, hi cams, fuel presure regulater, headers, pully set, big bore throtle, header, catback, coilovers, and the turbocharger for the tiby fits my car

just found a lowerin kit 1.6 in the front 1.5 in the back. 230$

but this hyundai is fast, it excelerates realy fast wich is good 4 1/4mile. and i dont have 4 or 5g's i have like 11bucks,lol. but i might b getin like 2g in a lil while. ima stick wit my hyundai plus its faster then any 99 or below civic and theres alot round here.

Why don't you try driving something that actually is fast, then reevaluate that. If your friends don't have anything then just go test drive something.

MR2? MR2 you could so eat an elantra in one of those hell get the tbar coupe only problem is it cost a shit load to fix bvecasue its a mid engine

I dunno how nicely that car is gonna respond to a turbocharger. The engine itself isn't set-up for that kind of powr gains, you may need to upgrade the internals too.

man, I raced a tiburon once (Just because the owner thought he was Mr. bad ass) and it had a 50 shot on it along with some other "secret and experimental bolt ons :rolleyes: " Dude, a ford pinto could put up a better fight than what that car did. It was stupid slow.


Don't do the turbocharger. If you don't know the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger then you don't need one. Learn how an engine works and what makes it work and all of that before you put a turbocharger/supercharger on. Spend the 3k on an education to learn about it rather than spending 10k learning the hard way.

ya i know the mr2 can blow away my car,lol. ya and im not gona put stuff in my car not knowin wut it does or how it works (thats kinda y im on this furom so i can learn more) i would get a difrent car but i dont have the $ so ima just fix up this car some, probly just air intake, catback and lower it maybe plugs and some other small things. in a couple of months ima take a class 2 learn more bout cars.

If you speak English as your primary language, you should take a refresher course or two when you go off to learn about cars.

:uhoh:

As for the Hyundai hating, they DID have a model or two with a 4g63. ;)

there is a big difference between not being able to speak english and just being plain lazy.

H&R makes a spring kit for the 99 Elantra:

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=29732..1

ya those r the springs i found, hey thanks ya just saved me 20$

You wanna stay cheap with lowering kits? I saw this on "Monster Garage". They get like this torch used for welding, and instead of the blue flame, they adjust it so that it has not as much power. When adjusting it, they get a lighter fire, like a loose fire on a torch. They then heat the springs and a guy gets on top of the hood of the car and starts jumping up and down. After one side is finished, the other side is worked on.

heating the springs is not a good idea

lol ya i dont wana heat em up 2 much cuz then i will need 2 buy springs,lol and no1s jumpin on my hood,lol

Heat at your own risk! lol

Iv raced plenty of Hyundai's in my time and i think perhaps my gandmother could walk faster then most of em, and shes dead.

seriously u say u have no money but u r saving up for mods, just save THAT money. learn to drive ur car and i mean drive it well, learn how the motor works and learn all the different parts of a car.
in a year or so sell the hyundai, add that money to the money uv saved and buy a car that is a good base for modification. it might b hard now but in a year ull agree it a far better idea.

ya havent raced my hundai,lol wut do u drive. ya i have a problem.. i cant save money,lol i know how 2 drive my car well. and i know some of how the motor works. im thinkin bout selin my car and getin a 91 nisian 240sx, sound like a good idea?

Im with everyone else...buy a faster car.

Then I'll beat her too. lol

Keep in mind Hyundai makes one of the most powerful WRC cars out there, making well over 400hp.

If there's a will, then there's a way, it's just a matter of how fast you want to go, and how much you'll have to spend to do it.

That being said, a Hyundai Elantra is not designed to go fast, it's designed to get around town as practically as possible. The designers often comprimised performance in the interests of cheap, large scale production so that the cars can be sold for less, in greater volume, and still make a good profit. As such, the suspension components are not built to see heavy duty use, neither are the pistons, the connecting rods, drivetrain, etc. If you start modifying the car without knowing exactly what stresses the components can take, and upgrading them as necessary, you will eventually break something, and you won't have a running car anymore.

If you have limitless resources, and can afford to have another car on the road while this one is being modified, or this one is being repaired because components couldn't take the stress and broke, then by all means, go ahead.

For some reason though, probably that you're driving a Hyundai Elantra, I get the impression your resources are very limited.

A '91 240SX is an excellent choice if you want to go fast, KA24DE builds and SR20DET swaps can make well over 400hp, the car is pretty light to start with and can easily be lightened further, and the handling potential is awesome. There is a huge aftermarket for them, and no end of possibilities.

There are two important things to look for really, a 5 speed transmission, and to make sure for the love of god that it has a DOHC 16 valve engine. You do NOT want the SOHC 8 valve engine, as it won't be much faster than your Hyundai. The DOHC engine will say Twin Cam 16 Valve on the top of it.

Good Luck :)

but this hyundai is fast, it excelerates realy fast wich is good 4 1/4mile...plus its faster then any 99 or below civic and theres alot round here.

*NOTE TO ALL HYUNDAI ELANTRA OWNERS/DRIVERS:*
ANY CAR WITH A POSTED 0-60 TIME OF 10.5 SECONDS IS NOT A FAST CAR. WHEN A CAR IS REFERED TO AS A "10 SECOND CAR" IT IS NOT REFERING TO 0-60 TIME, IT IS REFERING TO 1/4 MILE TIME. WITH THAT IN MIND I WILL NOW MAKE A SHOCKING STATEMENT. NO HYUNDAI ELANTRA IS CONSIDERED A FAST CAR. AS A MATTER OF FACT ANY SENTENCE CONVEYING THIS IDEA IS FALSE AND SHOULD BE STRICKEN FROM MEMORY AND/OR ERASED FROM PRINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

So what, I can't make my Fiat Doblo 1.9D SX fast? It pegs a sweet 20.9 second 0-60 time, STOCK baby!...

the 91 240 idea is a great idea! but back on the topic there is a NEW lowering kit you can buy. it's universal bags kit. it's cheaper and it gives you the lowering you want. Your drive tran will have to be redone and much more. if you really want to lower it go with that if not go with springs never go with coils! your nuts will be up in your skull!
