Modifications for the Hyundai Pony X2
Really hot tuning tips and advice.
Available in standard form with power of upto 82bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Pony X2. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 90.2bhp to 139.4bhp with modifications varying from a few DIY mods to some pretty major engine work. The higher you go the more unreliable the car will be and you should expect to have to rebuild the engine regularly if you want to extract silly power. A big forced induction upgrade would be needed to push beyond the 100bhp per 1000cc limit.
Hyundai mods should include an engine swap to provide a better base to work from. The ’82bhp Saloons’ is a real gem in terms of power. Employ some weight reduction to make your Pony X2 perform better. Pony X2 tuning projects should generally start with some improvement to the intake/exhaust of the engine. So get a good quality sponge or cotton gauze panel air filter. A good fuel pressure regulator will up the throttle response. The Car Tuning Guide recommend that on the Pony X2s , you get a fast road cam.
NOTE: POWER GAINS ARE PROPORTIONAL TO YOUR BASE POWER. The more you start with the better your gain will be. Doing an engine swap will give a better result than modding a small engine. Turn your attention next to the Pony X2s engine head. With a good gas flowed ported engine you will see much better mid and peak range power and some owners have reported more economy. The Pony X2s handling can be dramatically improved with some choice suspension modifications. To avoid other problems you should lower the car no more than 36mm.
