    Kia ecu tuning and mapping

    One of those hand-held programmers like SCT are far and few. You would need to change to something like a Haltech or Megasquirt to completely replace the ecm. (You may want to check other forums about what is available.) Our factory ECMs are a pain to attempt to reprogram, and from here on it...

    Kia ecu tuning and mapping

    IMHO, a clutch upgrade such as Centerline, ported and polished Head, Injectors from the 2.0, and a better fuel pump PLUS what you have already done will help to set a great base line to start with. Utilize a Haltech ECM for your programming, and you will be surprised what you can do with these...

    Have you upgraded your brakes

    What I think looks stupid, and I repeat STUPID, are the guys who add caliper covers too large for their calibers, And YOU can notice it with the 22-inchers. I had upgraded the front calibers with EBC pads since they take about 80% of the braking force, With stock horsepower, thay are more than...

    Chip Tuning – better engine management.

    The automotive industry is now trying to get the US Congress to add to a bill that would make manufacturer ecu programs a PROPRIETARY program, thereby preventing anyone from modifying or remapping their own program into the ecu. The manufacturers are claiming that their programs are strictly...

    Considering engine rebuild ...

    It's the odd sounds you need to address. Has the oil been changed on a regular basis? Has the engine been abused (hitting redline regularly)? Honda makes some durable engines, but when they start making noises, you need to see what it is. Is the noise from the top of the engine? Or is it from...

    Air cooled vw water cooled engines

    If you take a look at air-cooled engines, you will see that many use extra fins to draw the heat away from the engine where the air can pass over the fins and help cool the engine. Most air-cooled engines are not HIGH HORSEPOWER engines compared to water cooled engines. Water cooled (or liquid...

    Need help with mods!

    From what I have read elsewhere, there are quite a few Tiburon parts that fit the Elantras. Look at different forums to see what has and hasn't worked.

    Any Hyundai owners???

    Got an 05 Lantra 5-spd with a Specter Stage 2 clutch in her. Okay, it's the wife's car. But she does let me run her up to 6000 on occasions. We would have bought a Tib back then, but my butt wouldn't fit. So we got the next best.

    2005 Elantra

    My wife has a 2005 Elantra 5-spd, that she loves to death. The car has never been a problem, even at 84K miles. Yes, that's right! 84,000 miles on a 10 year old car. Except for clutch, timing chain/water pump/pulleys replacement, brake job, and battery replacement, the old girl has been...
