dubknight Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 ....:facepalm: Trust me I've already gotten more shit for even owning an Elantra, hear me out.. Stock curb weight of an 05 Elantra GT sedan is 2650 @ 135 horsepower. Giving a ratio of 102HP/Ton. Pretty "meh". Adding in a sound system that's going to weigh: 2 18's - 150 3 D3100's - 240 1 Dsomething for the front- 40-50? 2 amps - 60 Wall/enclosure - 150 2 hi-op-Alts& bracket - 20? Possibly more? Wiring/sound deadener/plexiglas/any other stuff that goes in - ##? Estimating conservatively that's going to be in the 700 pound club. Now we have an elantra weighing 3350 pounds with the same horsepower of 135. That's 80 HP/Ton. That's DISMAL! The easiest, end of the day most efficient $/HP is forced induction. If I push 175 horsepower with an STS turbo I will only be breaking even with a STOCK Elantra. I'm curious to the numbers it could push with a turbo. Sure I get it. It's a 2.0 inline 4 banger for Korea, front wheel drive, in a "meh" car to most people. And so I get why people are like wtf why? But I love this car. So why not do things no one has ever done before with it? When I finish this build, I feel many people would appreciate the hard work and effort that went into it.

dubknight Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It all depends on tune, it can be laggy as hell or spool pretty quick on the tune and compression ration being run, and if i remember righ, sts systems run cooler cause they arent at the engine bay From what I've read this is almost their biggest selling point. Low heat, high efficiency, and it seems incredibly easy to install. To quote them: "Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other engine components, as with a front-mounted turbo. Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubknight Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm sure you get a LOT of shit, lol. What year elantra? 2005. Sedan, not the hatchback, and It's the "GT" trim which is a bunch of bs marketing, pretty sure all they did was give it a leather interior, and "sports tuned" suspension (riiiiiight).

geo Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 If you notice everyone saying they noticed only small amounts of lag it was in relation to a v8 vehicle. The larger engine will push more exhaust faster thus spooling the turbo more quickly, you might want to talk to someone at STS about rear mounted turbos on 4 cyl cars...

rusty959 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Also, don't forget about the supporting mods you need to handle more power. This especially gets rough if your say, transmission isn't up to the task of all the extra weight and power.

dubknight Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Definitely considering everything if I were to go with forced induction. I am going to be doing a custom intake and exhaust and seeing how much horsepower that is going to give me. If it puts me within reasonable power for adding in 700 pounds to the car then I won't have to worry about additional power..but if it doesn't, I may have to either start my entire project on a different vehicle, or, swallow the $ bullet and go all out on the Elantra. STS got back to me and they said the definitely have people buy kits and install them on inline 4's although they don't have specs on horsepower increases or performance. *sigh* Edited April 12, 2011 by dubknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
