OT: Bad-*** daily driver idea...
I've been kicking another idea around for all of this evening.
Has anyone ever seen a Hyundai with a 4G63 swap? Apparently they already use an N/A version of it, and a turbo'd version can be bought for around $1000 bucks.
I heard Extreme Motorsports in MD has a Scoupe doing 8's with a 4G63, and that dropping one into a Sonata can be good for low-13-second 1/4 mile sprints, w/no modifications to the motor.
Seems like a hell of an idea. Anyone know of someone who's done it?

A friend and I were debating whether or not the Accent will swallow the 4G. I guess it will...more to chew on.
Since the Hyundais use a non-turbo version of the 4G, I wonder if I will still get the 100K/10yr warranty..

A guy here in Toronto has had that swap(4g63 in his Sonata) for at least 5 years. It's nothing new. He's putting down about 450whp now after a full build.

Down in Puerto Rico, 4G63 swaps into Hyundais is fairly common .. You would be amazed of all the crazy s*it we do just to "go-fast" 
Other than the kaka-load of swapped Hondas, there are a ton of 90-94 Mazda 323 with jdm 1.8DOHC turbo engines, Hyundais with anything from 4G63s to boosted Scoupe engines, and the list goes on !!

Re: (iperez)
Now I'm just kicking around the idea of buying a 91/92 Galant VR-4. Apparently for $6K, you can basically buy the car, fix it up, and have around 350 hp to the wheels. Galant VR-4 = Budget EVO

I heard Hyundai cars fall apart if acceleration from 0-60mph is under 6 sec.

Dont kid yourself into thinking those are reliable daily drivers, especially at those power levels.

What do you mean? From everything I hear from the Galant owners, it's not hard to make that kind of power and have those motors last. Even if they blow, they cost like $1000.

In that case, why not try to stuff a turbo motor in the front and another turbo motor in the trunk like that SCC ultimate streetcar challenge tiburon of a while back.....?
