Turbo/Supercharger....when & how? - Hyundai Performance Forums

GreyGhost · 09-10-2002, 10:52 PM

I emailed CAPA at http://www.capa.com.au on if they had a turbo/supercharger or were going to make one for the Hyundai Accent and this what I got:

I wrote: I have visited you website numerous times and have a few questions about the bolt-on superchargers that you advertise for the Hyundais. I see that you have Powerdyne and Eaton M45 superchargers for the 1.5L engines for the Hyundai Excel. I'm from the United States and own a 2001 Hyundai Accent GS with a 1.6L DOHC engine. Do you offer a supercharger and/or turbo for this vehicle and engine size? If yes, which one will fit my car and how do I get one? If not, are you planning on designing one in the near future? I would appreciate any information and advise that you could provide. Thanks in advance!

Their response: We no longer hold the system as the popularity of this vehicle in Australia is very low. And the system when available (Powerdyne) retailed at $6,395.oo And you had to relocate the air conditioning, if the car had it. This would at this stage be a custom install, I would look at the Eaton M-45 unit. Failing that I would consider the engine conversion to the DOHC 1.5L then use the Eaton Supercharger kit. ($4,271.oo)

My question: Has anyone installed a turob/supercharger in their Accent? If so, what kind did they use, how did you do so, and how much did it cost? Thanks!

Yes, there have been a couple of people that have turbo charged the 1.6L. Lobert is one, Scrud in AU is another. If you go look in the turbo forum or do a seach on Lobert you'll see. These kits are custom made though.

they have the 1.6? i think scrud has a 1.5L, not sure but i think the few turbos for the accents that are out there are mainly the 1.5L guys.

yea, your right on Scrud, it's a 1.5L DOHC LC. But I know Lobert's is a 1.6L GL automatic.
