Anything is possible, most things if you have to ask it's cheaper to trade the car in for the car you actually want.

 

That is what my original thought was, but I have already installed a subwoofer and a line output converter. I just don’t want all of my work to go to waste…

 

There was a company that did make a turbo'd 2.0L for sema. IIRC, after 4 psi, the block cracked.

 

That is what I am worried about, aluminum blocks don’t really hold up too well with turbos

 

You will be far far a head to find a dealer to swap Kona's for you.

 

Ya, it is a sellers market rn sooo

 

I'm having a moment where I'm appreciating the simplicity of my drive train. Everything so **** complicated with ICE when looking at it from this side of the rainbow.

Simple is boring, don't get me wrong. EVs are a deal with the devil, better everything but you're a fat cow and you can't really touch anything in the car to improve performance.

Everything you've ever wanted with a figurative and literal anchor in exchange for your soul. It's like The Little Mermaid story for adult men and EVs are Ariel with Ursula behind it. We're all gonna lose our souls soon, and you're going to like it

 

Ok, so my options are 1)get a trade in for the turbo model, or 2) strengthen the cylinders so they will be able to take more boost?

 

Also what if instead of turbo I just got it tuned. Would that make a big difference? I just saw an article about a ford maverick with a factory tune that got retuned that made a 5.2 sec mile….

Omfg I found it!!!!!

 

Do you even know what you found? Is your plan to spend $1500 on a turbo kit from a tuner that apparently doesn't really exist, with no software, no feedback on how it works from the community, no one to support you? How much is that install gonna cost you? What about your intake and exhaust? Are you ok completely voiding your power train warranty? Who is doing the tuning? Are you prepared to fabricate parts yourself?

A lot of cars have a lot of great aftermarket tuning options, this is just not it man, you're going to spend a bunch of money to maybe get it to work and it's going to suck long term. Spend less, get the better stock car, start from there. You'll find a lot more and be a lot happier if you start from a place where the aftermarket is robust.

 

I take back everything I've been saying so far, this is totally a great idea and you should definitely start a thread and document every step of the way. I can promise you at least 3 people will watch and you'll have about a 3% chance of success. Everyone wins. At least 2 of the 3 people who will watch are already on this thread. We have a $4 budget for popcorn already set aside. Let us know what you decide.

 

After a thorough thought progress and consulting my bank account I’ve come to a conclusion. I do not have enough money to purchase and maintain a turbo on my car at this point, but I can still make exhaust and air box modifications. I will hopefully build up my engine little by little until I have the necessary components to maintains my engine. When I reach that point I may reevaluate my situation. Btw a $4 donation would be greatly appreciated😁.

 

You're missing your 15 minutes man.

 

I've been looking everywhere for a turbo kit for my hyundai elantra se 2.0L. If anyone knows where I can find it would be much appreciated.

 

Did anyone try this yet? I'm tempted to try it shortly for my se awd model. Engine looks easy enough to pull out to work on, Im worried about the ecu and gearbox going out though. If anyone has any recommended prior qol mods please let me know.
