The Hyundai Scoupe, sold in the US from 1991 through 1995, was a 2-door coupé based on the Hyundai Excel. The name, a portmanteau of "sporty" and "coupe," was pronounced "scoop". An 81 horsepower, 1.5l Mitsubishi sourced engine provided power to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.
Several changes came for 1993, when Scoupes got a facelift, including the current Hyundai "H" logo, new flush headlamps plus body-colored side moldings and redesigned front sheetmetal, taillights, and rear bumper. The Base and LS models came with a new and improved 1.5l 12 valve, direct port fuel injected engine called "Alpha".
The new engine powering the "Base" and "LS" models made 92 hp (69 kW).
Also new for 1993 a turbocharged "GT" model developing 115 hp (86 kW) was for sale.
The Turbo engine was a modified version of the 1.5L Alpha used in the Base and LS models. Turbos came only with 5-speed manual shift, while Base and LS models could have an optional 4-speed automatic.
The Australian spec S-Coupe GT Turbo has been road tested by several magazines here in Australia around its release at 9.2-9.3 secs for 0-100 km/h and 16.8 secs for the 0-400 m dash.
The Alpha (G4EK), Hyundai's first internally developed engine, powers the new '93 Scoupe, which reaches dealer showrooms in October. The 1.5L (1,495-cc) 4-cyl. engine has a 75.5 mm (2.97 in) bore and an 83.5 mm (3.29 in) stroke, It is a single-overhead-cam 12 valve (two intake and one exhaust valve per cylinder) engine with multipoint fuel injection and is available in either naturally aspirated or turbocharged form.
The naturally aspirated engine produces 92 hp (69 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 97 lb·ft (132 N·m) of peak torque at 4,000 rpm using a 10:1 compression ratio, while the turbocharged version kicks out 115 hp (86 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 123 lb·ft (167 N·m) of torque at 4,500'rpm with a 7.5:1 compression ratio. Hyundai says the Scoupe is the first production application for Garrett Automotive Products' new model T15 turbocharger. The turbo unit includes water-cooled bearings and housings and an integral wastegate.
The naturally aspirated Alpha boasts a 14% increase in power over its 1.5L Mitsubishi-designed predecessor, and the turbo produces 42% more power.
A "Lotus tuned" suspension was installed in both Base and LS models, while a slightly firmer strut valving was used in the GT.
The Alpha was the first engine designed in Korea. and a 2176 lb (987 kg) Curb weight made the car an interesting driving sport compact considering the low MSRP.
The GT's EPA was 27 mpg (U.S.) (9 l/100 km) city, and 33 mpg (U.S.) (7 l/100 km) highway.
The 1991-92 "Base" models achieved 26 mpg (U.S.) (9 l/100 km) city and 34 mpg (U.S.) (7 l/100 km) Hwy for Manual Trans, and 25 mpg (U.S.) (9 l/100 km) city and 32 mpg (U.S.) (7 l/100 km) for Automatic.
The 1993-95 "Base" Alpha 1.5 engine models achieved 28 mpg (U.S.) (8 l/100 km) city 36 mpg (U.S.) (7 l/100 km) Hwy for Manual Trans and 25 mpg (U.S.) (9 l/100 km) City and 34 mpg (U.S.) (7 l/100 km) for Automatic.
The car was replaced by the Tiburon in 1997, with no sporty model available in model year 1996.
GT Aftermarket Tuning.
The Scoupe GT was Hyundai's First Attempt at a Sports car, South Korea's first domestically designed engine features a cast-iron block and crankshaft. an aluminum head, aluminum pistons and steel connecting rods. A special compact pentroof combustion chamber design with central spark plug location has been incorporated to optimize engine efficiency. The engine utilizes a Robert Bosch GmbH electronic engine control system and a knock sensor. The Low comp 7.5:1 Engine can handle over a bar (14.7 psi) of boost on pump gas.
Any T2 Series Garrett turbocharger (T20/T25/T28) will bolt up & replace the turbo on the S-Coupe Turbo model, BUT, because of the flange & internal porting, it MUST have a stock Garrett flange OR be ex-Nissan
Scoupe's weak spots are the inefficient radiator and lack of an oil cooler as well as a limited 275MM Airflow meter
