Is it possible to tune the chip on 1999 Accent GL 1.5i 12v ? Actually I dont know does my car has a chip or not ? And how much HP more we can take from the engine after this modification ? Who can perform it and what are the costs ? Thanx in advance for your replies ....
Hey just put a tibby one it will give you 500 rpms more and advance the timing for about 5 degrees. Thats what we do here in Puerto Rico hope to help. Its a bolt on...

Without having looked into it in any readl detail, I think I'd have to look at that with some scepticism.
The chances of a RD Tib/Coupe ECU plugging into an X3 Excel SOHC, having the ECU pins all correct, all sensors compatible (readings from MAF sensors, MAP sensors, etc), gaining an extra 500 rpm and not having any negatives seems pretty remote. Simply adding 500 more revs will not mean more power, as if the engine has already passed it's optimum breathing effeciency, and the power curve has peaked, then simply adding more revs will do nothing but wear an engine out faster.
Not saying it is not possible the Tib's ecu will not work, but I would be very hesitant to try it until thoroughly researching everything and then doing some good testing on a chassis dyno to check for detonation, leaning out, etc
putting a tib ecu would make our alpha run rich no ? having a tibruon Maf with the accent sensor and the tibby ecu.... would make ? i think i'm gonna try this one and chek what my A/f says... :lol:

It will fit but only on the 1999 accents only since from 1995 to 1998 ECU's its diferent to the 1999 ones. Im telling you guys i have seen it i have a friend that did it and it bolts on perfectly and gain 500 rpms and advanced the timing 5 degrees. The car its running pretty good let me tell you but it have to be as i told you only on the 1999 accents.. If you dont believe me then go to a ECU shop or something like that and ask the person to show you a 1999 Accent ECU and a tibby one. Then you tell me. Just do the experiment if anyone of you could borrow one from a tibby.:

I am always wary when people say that they have heard abotu something through a friend... I would much rather hear it from the person who did it, and not second hand, as things always get lost or misinterpreted through word of mouth.
Secondly, just beacuse it revs out another 500 rpm does not mean that the power will be any more, especially if the timing has been changed. This change in timing may be the result of the crank angle sensor being located 5 degrees further around in relation to TDC, which may not necessarily be a good thing.
And as far as comparing ECU's, you could compare the look if the Accent's, ECU, Tib's ECU and a V6 Sonata ECU.... I am sure they may all look similar on the outside, and even plug, but it is what is inside that counts. Even the if you took off the case of the ECU, the circuit boards may look similar, but what you cannot see if the program and data stored within the ECU.
The only real way to tell is to get an expert to analyse all the data and programmes. Afterall, you could get a Microtech, Motec, or any aftermarket ECU and programme it to suite one engine, but will be totally wrong for another.
As for 'doing the experiment', I would not want to volunteer my car for it, as if it is not right, it could blow the ECU, or blow the engine. I'd hate to be up for an engine rebuild or new engine simply because I tried something that I heard through the grape vine worked.
No dis-respect, but I would be very wary of trying what you have heard works, as it could be a very expensive mistake. The only time I would contemplate trying it would be if I could see a proper write up from a reputable workshop, or Hyundai themselves, showing it being done, along with dyno charts and their technical comments and analysis before they swapped ECU (sensor outputs and readings, etc) regarding and after (dyno charts, detonation, O2 sensor readings, road tests, and long term (1,000 km and 5,000 km) feedback.
