95 Sonata problems - Hyundai Performance Forums

daywiz · 08-05-2007, 01:16 AM

hey guys,
i am new to this forum but i can use all the help i can get. I have 95 Sonata. it has only run 135 000 kms, but its still in good condition. The problem i facing with the car is that i am not able to get full performance out of the car. No matter how much i push i am not able to get the car to go over 185 km, even after switching of the Air conditioner and switching on ECT to "P" mode. As you guys already know, the top speed is 220kmph and i must be able 2 get at least 200-205kmph, max. Secondly, my a/c compressor was screwed and was not cooling and i had to replace it with another compressor. Now the problem is, whenever i go over 90 kmph, the cooling gets cut off and the a/c just gives air, like in a fan. I chked with the mechanics and they tell nothing is wrong. Since im based in the UAE, the air conditioner is very important to me. Also i want to know how to improve the performance and efficiency of the car. I have changed the timing belt, and other belts of the car, along with the air filter. What else do i have to change? please help me........thanks guys

Do you really need to go over 185km? (115mpg) I'd say take it to a shop and they should be able to tell you whats wrong with it

Its true that i really dont need to go over 185km but still i need to get rid of these problems..wat do u feel about the other problems? besides can any1 help me if @ all a swap is needed. Wat all things can be swapped..i heard tht u can swap with a mitsubshi eclipse...but which all parts can be swapped and will i get a more improved engine performance if i get a much better engine? or will it be the same or less performance..bcause of the swap. Please advice! thanks

Many car if you go over 80% throttle it turns off the AC because it assumes you want to go fast it turns off the AC compressor when you do down below 80 throttle the AC comes on again and all is normal. And I would say 185kmh is normal on that car its quite heavy and that engine is only 135hp
