what is this about

So what is this about, probably the question most people are asking? Well after 2 years of saving, I have finally decided to purchase a vehicle. And I decide if I’m going to purchase a used vehicle, I could either buy one that’s driving and fix any surprises as they come up, or I can buy a shell and build it up from scratch, so I will know all the problems before hand.

 While not the best decision for someone with not so much time on their hand I picked the second option. So introducing the 1994 Hyundai Scoupe (pronounced scoop or s- coupe). This is a 2 door version of the Hyundai Excel. It names come from a combination of the word sport and coupe hence scoupe. This version of the vehicle was the first car to roll out of the factory with Hyundai’s  own in house manufactured Alpha engine ( previous versions used engines manufactured by Mitsubishi)  this was an 1.5L inline four engine which produced 92 horsepower and a turbocharged version doing about 115 horsepower.

 However due to ease of parts and for reasons I will explain in a later post I decide to change the engine to the GA15DE better known as a B14 engine this engine can be found in the Nissan sunny, Pulsar, Wingroad and Presea. The GA15DE is an 1.5 liter engine with DOHC and throttle-body electronic fuel injection. It produces 104 horsepower. Plus it fits snug in the engine bay. The point of this blog is to show what I have done to the vehicle and to get information and help from anyone who can spare the time. So here’s to looking forward to a good builds. See ya
