Turbo

[wogBoy]

would it b possible 2 put a turbo in a hyundai excel twin cam

and also how would it effect the cars acceleration,deacceleration and cornering

[TheStang00]

well this really should be posted in the hyundai forum.

but i dont see why it couldnt be done, with enough money you can turbo practically anything, i know nothing about the engine in that car though.

it will make acceleration much faster, and i see no reason why it would affect either decceleration or cornering.

The Engine is a 4 cylinder in-line OHC

It may be a OHC but is it really a twin-cam? I don't think Hyundai ever put a twin-cam engine into their Excels. My brother is a long time Hyundai owner and has owned 2 Excels when he was younger. He still owns a Hyundai (Santa Fe) and uses the same mechanic he did years ago. So from his knowledge he once described the Excel engine as a Mitsubishi left over that was "borrowed" by Hyundai until they could engineer their own stuff. IMO, I doubt it would handle boost very well. However, if you really love your car then you may want to do some research into finding a 1g 4g63 6-bolt and seeing how hard it would be to stuff one into your car. I think that would be a really nice sleeper.

compression ratio could be an issue to if your car has a really high compression ratio then you might need racing fuel just to drive it with a turbo.

i dont know how big the aftermarket is for thoes either, but if the stock internals arent strong enough you may be able to find some aftermarket parts to put in it.

I really wouldn't waste my time or money on it... yea it can be done by why do it, if your gonna' waste alot of time and money...

The 1 i got is a twin cam it is a 2ooo model hatchback

DO extensive research, the very fact that you questioned whether it would affect your deceleration and cornering shows that this is something you aren't quite ready for yet.

The brakes are used in deceleration...

Your suspensions setup is what is vital to cornering...

Your car is the 1.5 liter twin cam right?
Honestly, I'm telling you it would be more trouble than its worth but you could always piece together a junkyard turbo setup and try it.

it is and i am prepared 4 the extra speed the turbo will provide

And wat cars would u recommed i get the turbos out of in the junkyard

[TheStang00]

i bet a turbo out of a thunderbird turbo coupe would work.

[Sleepr awd]

or practically any model Eclipse turbo, starion turbo, conquest turbo, dodge turbo'd cars, Supra turbo might work alright

pretty much anything you get off a 2.0l car has plenty of size in it to push you a little ways, and they are cheap, i've got a couple spare turbos' (1g 14b) i could interest you in too, that can support your car up to 15lbs of boost (more than enough)

[TheStang00]

actually i have a rebuilt turbo im looking to sell, it will fit a 2.0 good too. infact it is one out of a thunderbird TC.
I have some extra piping i could throw in there too.

[Sleepr awd]

it'd be a good idea to see if you can't find parts that will work from other cars on yours ie the new eclipse motor can use many 1g and 2g eclips turbo parts and turbos, the 14b might work on a manifold you can source, or the TB turbo the stang has might flow more air off a custom manifold which is more power, keep in touch though and let us kno how it goes

[TheStang00]

yeah i would use the turbo myself but im a poor broke college kid...
