KIA Picanto is not designed for fast driving. Personally if I want a more powerful car, I wouldn't buy a Kia Picanto in first place ;) Coming back to ur question, u can do the usual/bolt-on stuff eg airfilter etc. I don't know about KIA engine, so cannot comment about turbokit installation into KIA cars. Well, Toyota in Thailand actually produced a limited version of Toyota Vios turbo, so turbocharging a KIA may be possible, but might get you into alot of headache. Turbokit is not so "bolt-on" as many people think :)

....or Korean cars, in general. Hehehe j/k don't be angry, Ko-car owners; you own a "Car That Cares" :)

Coz our Proton doesn't care for us, you see...

:lol:

last time i was in international forum. the european no comment, but the american found it funny to see "performance" with "korean car" in the same sentence... seems like they don't really like it :mellow:

1st of all, is Kia Picanto designed for performance? :blink:

 

[L2TurboFool]

dude,i'm sorry to say.a Picanto is not aerodynamically designed for good speed and stability.but f*ck THAT!we can make a piece of shit go fast dude!
go do the basic stuff,better intakes,headers and all that..
check for cams also..

 

[bullet_nos]

hai, yala, Picanto's reviews also mentioned about the lack of power in the car's performance. My mom's Picanto is coming in April also.

What my friend did for his Hyundai Elantra was custom make a header and exhaust system, pockup did improve. however, bit sacrifice on the FC side. perhaps can do the same for the distant Korean relative, Picanto. ;)

Cheers
