SIGN THIS PETITION! :D

[evan938]

no. obviously you arent aware the beta is no longer being used, and the delta is on its way out.. that will get no where near enough sigs, youll send it into hyundai, and theyll laugh at you and maybe give you a free oil change

[jayupark]

? it does not have to be for the beta. I think the guy's point was that a factory turbo hyundai on North American shores would be nice. I would think that you would agree...

[evan938]

i do, but it wont happen

[ArunSenior04]

Evan is right. Online petitions are considered garbage because they can easily be faked. You would need MILLIONS of signatures for Hyundai to prolly even consider it.

[J-son]

1354 people have signed this pet. and it seems like one person has wrote all of the comments. Same kind of attitude I mean. This is not even close to enough to make a difference like said above. I think that honda or toyota would have to be putting out american cars with this kind of setup to have any influence on hyundai to to the same and even then I think they are still firm on there america's best warranty at the best bang for buck campain (sp). Good luck though with your efforts and signatures. I will just save up and turbo my own at what specs I want it and worry about it that way.

Cheers,
J-son

write a letter to the Hyundai in Alabama, see what kind of reply you get...

i'm actually not interested in a turbo stock hyundai... i would rather turbo a car myself... considering i had the funds of course. the whole modding/under-the-hood process is a hobby of mine.

and of course... online petitions are practically garbage. you won't find enough people wanting to turbo hyundais to make a worthwhile petition, and you sure as hell won't find them all in person like you need to.

You guys have a good point.
If Hyundai made a stock turbo vehicle directed towards tuners, I wouldn't be as interested. Modding for me is about taking something ordinary and turning it into something unique.
& I make it a habit NOT to sign online petitions, they are heaven for data miners.
Good luck though! :)

Hyundai owners are cheap to begin with. Most people who bought their Elantra didn't buy it to soup it up or make it different from other cars. They just bought it because it's the best bang for their buck. The demand for a turbo Hyundai would be really small, until Hyundai can get past its previous image of a cheap, unreliable Korean car. Lets face it, when you think of Hyundai, the term "sporty" doesn't come to mind. I think the Tiburon crowd has helped tremendously, but even with their following, it's small compared to the people that are interested in Hondas, WRXs, and Evo's.

If any Hyundai gets a factory turbo, my guess is that the Tiburon would get it. The Elantra couldn't compete if its price was as high as cars like the Civic Si or Mazda3.

I would buy it,if it were available.Then you wouldnt have to spend like 3 grand on a turbo set-up out of pocket.Then it's a simple matter of getting a bigger turbine and then it would be unique.Everything else would already be there.I dunno thats just my .02 worth

[st_anger5532]

what there trying to say (i think) is that if hyundai were to turbo elantra(never gunna happen) then if you put a turbo or upgraded your wouldnt be special like the 7 or 8 people who have done it. you would be just a little bit diff than some average joe's turboed elantra. i think.

[hyunelan2]

I'd rather see a high-performance N/A V6, than another turbocharged 4-cyl on the market. The 3.3/3.8 lambdas are close, but need to be put in a performance vehicle still.

[Leviathant]

PetitionOnline.com should have a statistic on their front page showing how many of the online petitions they host have been successful.

My bet is that it would be a big fat zero.

[korai9989]

as far as a turbocharged 4 cyl...

MazdaSPEED6 - 4cyl w/ stock turbo and stock CAI = 274 HP

but I would still prefer to do it myself... but that's just because the modding process interests me. I wouldn't even buy that car (which is $30,000), I would buy a Mazda 6s (6 cyl) and mod it.

SAME THING in my head :(

[only1db]

SAME THING in my head :(


agreed...the thing about turboing a XD is to unique and not like everybody else...and not to mention the "OH MY GOD...WAS THAT WHAT I THOUGH IT WAS? :bowdown:

keeping up with more expensive vehicles is a pretty cool thing too :D

[KeWLKaT]

hehehehe yeah

goddmanit i cant wait to put the snail on to my car.......

*sigh* ONE MONTH and ONE WEEK left till install !!!!! :D

when the hell will your be finished only1db i keep hearing you talk about it since a while now and no action ;)

[only1db]

i'm actually waiting on a settlement...so a month from now or 6 months from now...who knows!!!

[KeWLKaT]

they do suck yeti juevos

[BlackElantraGT]

I can see everyone's point about being that unique owner of a turbo'd Elantra, instead of buying one from the factory and being like everyone else.

Many of you guys seem to have this idea that you'd just be slapping on a turbo and you're all set. It is much easier to upgrade a factory turbo'd car than to start from scratch. You think Mitsubishi, Subaru, Dodge, Saab, etc. hire all these expensive engineers for nothing? With their knowledge and experience, these people have done most of the leg work for you and can sell you a factory turbo'd car that can be daily driven and be about as reliable as another other car on the road.

Just look at Mahonroy's install process so far. I can't follow the thread because it's too long, but the last I remember he still hasn't worked out all the kinks in it. And he seems to have access to the tools to work on the car himself rather than paying other people to do it.

The reality is that most of us on here will never get turbocharged as much as we fantasize about it. And for those that make their fantasies come true, it's going to be a bigger headache than they expected and they better have more money to put into the car.

That's why it would be nice to just to have a fast car from the factory with a warranty. But, that won't be coming anytime soon from Hyundai.

You took the words right out of my mouth... There is a reason why WRX's, and EVO's sell like hot cakes. Good factory power from a turbo, and still has plenty of potential. Look at V-dub drivers while many can be liberal douche bags which is beside the point, they can get some serious numbers out of those things. And upgrading it after you buy it you are still working on it yourself.

[KeWLKaT]

yeah but the challenge of turboing a car that isnt designed like that is just FUN!

and once you achieve that you are somehow unique.

EVERYONE knows FF and his ex-s/c. EVERYONE knows Mahonroy and his turbo.

:D

[CTele02]

By "EVERYONE" don't you mean just a couple thousand internet junkees whom visit this site way too often..

[paki]

lol.. i want a s/c!

[KeWLKaT]

you got it right on the nose

:D
Yeah and we all know how ****ing long it took Ford to get all of his **** right just so he could sell it. And Mahonroy's is still not running full to spec. I would rather buy something that is already turboed, and was meant to be turboed that I could upgrade, and have a bit more piece of mind while I am at it.

[KeWLKaT]

Ummm... No, mahonroy is running nicely 100% he is just having problems now UPGRADING, but his install was A+++ lol do you even read the thread.

Yeah I know what you mean, a factory turbo vehicle will handle boost better bla bla

but still haveing a turbo wont be original.

i will turbo my car in less than a week, and on this, you will see. and it will even include the clutch swap.

[BlackElantraGT]

No doubt that having one of the few Elantra outside of Korea that's turbocharged is quite something to brag about, and the fun and knowledge you'll gain from the install, but I think a factory turbo would be a lot more beneficial to all of us as a whole, than a few lucky members.

I know I'm not the only one who gets frustrated when it seems like you can find parts for every car except yours. Heck, even the Neon and Cavalier have more aftermarket support than the Elantra. If Hyundai came out with factory turbo, aftermarket support might actually take our community seriously for once. Just look at the difference between the Tiburon and Elantra. The difference between Tib owners and Elantra owners is that they bought their car because it was "sportier" and those owners are willing to pay for the products.

You can't even mention ground wires on here without someone telling you to just make your own set of wires because it's a lot cheaper. Or to save the $150 and buy a $30 eBay Accord CAI. If some of you guys aren't even willing to spend the $30-$100 for a set of ground wires or a few bills on a CAI, why would anyone want to produce anything for our cheap asses?

[KeWLKaT]

im with you 100%
