I'm planning on building my car into a sleeper, but I'm not sure if it is worth adding a turbo or supercharger. The car has 260,000 kms. I've also been thinking about doing an engine swap with a Veloster Turbo. I don't know much about them and compatibility with the engine. I'm not much of a gearhead, but I know enough about cars and engines to do most of it myself. The car has the 1.6L DOHC Inline 4. If I would do a different car, which one?

Man, I'd love to do this as well. As far as I know the only swap we can do with our '05s is a 2.0 from a similar year Tiburon/Elantra, but I could definitely be wrong.
at first all I did was cut the last little piece off the exhaust pipe which contained the muffler. Today as I was driving off, my muffler cracked right before the resonator. Now my pipe ends right after a sensor on the exhaust. I'm going to put a piece of pipe where the exhaust pipe was cuz I hate it ending right under me. I'm also going to be finishing my cold air intake on this car. Got a k&n filter and am going to use pipe from home to create it. My problem is that I'll need to move the battery if I want it far enough away from the engine to actually be a cold air intake.
About the engine swap, the people who did it, were using a 2011 accent.
