Has anybody tried this? Does it really work?

If it were me, I wouldn't try this on an Accent. You might get gains if you
bore the throttle body, change the exhaust system, then improved the
suspension and brakes to help handle the extra power. Instead of going
through this trouble, just buy a car with a V8.

You can dig a little extra horsepower out of the Alpha motor with one
of those, but not enough to bother with IMO. If you want real
performance in an Accent you should swap in the Beta motor.
