Hyundai Tuner

[Whiplash]

Hi everyone.
I drive a 1997 Hyundai Tiburon, and I have been hanging around the 4g61t.com forums for a while, but it looks like they went down. Anyways in the summer of 2005, Im planning on swapping a 4g63t into a 90-94 Hyundai Excel. Ill try my best not to post questions which have been answered hundreds of times, and I will contribute useful posts.

He pretty much gutted the accent and threw the body on a talon chasis. He owns his own parts salvage yard where he has 3 90-91 turbo DSM's laying around and a few Hyundias.

From what he told me the excel swap was very straight foward. All the motor mounts matched up, pretty easy swap if you don't mind FWD.

The accent on the other hand involves lots of custom work, fabing motor mounts, lots of cutting and welding. To make the body fit over the driveshaft and rear diff. he had to do a lot of cutting and welding to the backset/trunk area.

At this point all the car has for mods is 2.5-3" turboback, starion FMIC, 2.5" piping, Blow-thru GM MAF + translator, boost controller, 2G manifold and O2 housing, ACT 2600.

He's planing on going big turbo, external wastegate, big front mount, big injectors soon. A car this light with AWD and a modded 4g63 should produce some very good 1/4 mile times.

If you have any questions about the excel I'm sure I can ask him.

maybe we should add a "4g63 hybrids" section, for cars with 4g63 swaps in them.

I totally agree.

I really like the current Tiburons. If I made a couple more hundred a month, I think I'd pop for one, and I've never considered a new car before. The main thing that holds me back is the damned FWD, but I don't know how much longer I can keep my bigotry intact. I took one for a test drive, with the V-6, and it felt really good. Seems like a lot of car for $20K.

I think Sports Compact had a 4G63T Excel last year.

true its alot coming from a car for 20k but yet look at the srt-4 and the power its puts down for the money.. if i were to get any new car for the mater it would most likely be the neon not for the neon aspect but yet for the power. i think if they were to make an awd srt-4 that would end up taking over...

Yes i know the trademark of the dsm, i am not claiming my car is not a cheaply made car. I bought this car after my turbo mr2 got totaled. (Hit by drunk driver w/ no insurance) I put close to 10grand in that car, and it all went down the drain. I came to dsm's when i saw the times they were running. This chassis is by far the best bang for the buck performance car period. Half the money inveset in my mr2 will make a street king...well almost. I am dissapointed in the many faults these cars have. Especially the 2 gen. I bought this car and joined this board cause i luv working on my cars.

Ohh one more thing. My first post...Can anyone on here take a joke b4 jumping all over someone. I thought we were all friends here....

The colt/mirage forum is back, its now www.4g61t.org

I wanted a tiburon when the new body style first came out, I think about it every now and then because the resale value is so low on them, but i dont see enough power gains out of turbo-ing the 4 cyl or supercharging the v6 to warrant getting one.

Good to hear that the mirage forums are back.

The mosts popular swap for an accent is a 97-01 tib engine. It fits perfectly. The guy who put the accent body on a dsm chassis must have a crazy amount of knowledge to pull something like that off. There is a video going around the net where a supercharged GK tib walks on a srt4 running 16psi...but you guys are right for the money it costs, and for the shitty resale value it not really worth it.

You are so very wrong.

 

[96TSi_Chris]

You are so very wrong.

Foxbody 5.0 mustangs and 1g AWD DSMs are 2 of the best bang for the buck platforms around.

Or something, since the DSM chassis is the body. Maybe he just put all the running gear under an Accent.

<~~ has been selling hyundais for 3 years. i have 2 alongside my 96 gsx. hyundai's come along way. their cheap, economical, slow, great warrenty cars. even the tiburon. their not for tunning. they great for having a low matience point a to point b car.. dont compare them to the gsx.

hyundaiperformance has a good fourm for 4g63 swaps in the excells, accents, elantras.
there is a fourm dedicated to the hybrid swap. and actually is a veary common sway in the 95 elantras. they are dirrect fits.

Correct.

I also post at Hp, despite what the mods at that site say, there really is no info about the swaps. There are alot of threads about people wanting to do the swaps but there arent alot of members who have done the swap who will answer questions...
