How to Tune a Hyundai Coupe

The Hyundai Coupe -- also commonly known as the Hyundai Tiburon or Tuscani -- is popular among car enthusiasts. The Hyundai Coupe is known for a racy look and a plethora of aftermarket tuning options. Some of the best options for tuning your Hyundai Coupe include the installation of a supercharger, changing the air filter system, and installing an aftermarket exhaust system. With some help and money, you can have your Hyundai Coupe flooring down the race track.

  • Install a supercharger. The supercharger will force more oxygen into the cylinders of your engine, causing an increase in torque and horsepower. There are many aftermarket superchargers available in your local tuning shop and through various online vendors. The installation of a supercharger is best left to a professional as it is a time consuming and labor intensive project. Any local tuning shop should be able to install it.

  • Install an aftermarket air filter / induction system. The aftermarket air filter will allow for more direct air flow into your engine, which can lead to horsepower gains of three to seven horsepower.

  • Install an aftermarket exhaust system. The new exhaust system will allow the air to flow out of your Hyundai quickly and efficiently. Expect horsepower gains in the range of five to seven.

  • Change the oil and spark plugs. Do not solely relay on aftermarket parts to tune the performance of your car. Do regular scheduled oil changes and change the spark plugs when needed, as stated by the car manual. Failure to do regular car maintenance will eat away at the performance of your car and its gas millage.
