Elantra turbo?
Anyone turbo a Hyungay?
Basics are its a 1996, 5 speed 4 banger, apparently about the hp rankings of a z6 from what edmunds tells me.. 200,000 miles, new clutch and other crap, $450. Is this even worth it?

Re: Elantra turbo?
through a hint by turbostd and some internet searching y0 ive found that this engine is shared by the tiburon as well... not the greatest but not too bad. 2.0 140 hp.
Fastest I've seen turbocharged with this engine so far has been 250 whp. That kinda blows but maybe I'm snooping in the wrong places.

Re: Elantra turbo?
It didn't specify whether it was stock internals or not... if so that'd rock
Guy emailed me and said "Midas told me that the transmission has about 10k-20k left in it.. it makes a whistling noise when you downshift... and they told me it's going to be needing replaced. I just had a brand new clutch put in recently as well."
wtf, a whistling noise?

I had a freind with a AT version, they arent to bad if you want a DD with decent milage. For 400, hell yeah I'd buy it. They drive OK. Look into the Scioupe, Im not sure which mitsu 4 they use, but there were turbo models. Cheap mani&turbo FTW possibly.

Re: Elantra turbo?
---- it, you can probably bargain it down to 400 or less. i'm sure you can pull a tranny off a scrapped elantra for cheap enough. just dont expect it to last very long. i'd say make it the project car, who gives a ---- if you blow something, at least you tested some ---- out on it yourself .
