define faster, do u mean a quicker 0 - 60 or a high top speed?
u can fit larger wheels this will make your top speed higher a the acceleration too, but it will make your speedo inaccurate. fitting a big bore exhaust system will help, but it has to be a full system, manifold and all, performance air fillers don't really do much. striping the car of weight will help too but this can be very unpractical. fitting a turbo charger, this a dump value will help get more air into the cylinders.
getting the head polish and ported will improve things too, this is where the inlet and exhaust ports in the head are widened and then made very smooth, creates better air flow to the engine, and away from it too
it got multipoint injection if u can get it changed to direct injection it will help, would cost alot tho
uprating and lowering the suspension will help with cornering, so u can go faster round the bends
finally get the ecu chipped, it will give u better performance, do this last tho, as if u get it done first then add any thing else it will not work as well.
u are restricted as to what u can do cos it is a small car, there's not much room in the engine bay i will guess. or i would say inner-coolers and nitrous
but what ever you do DON'T FORGET to uprate the brakes, as more speed is great, but if you cant stop its not alot of good
i hope this all helps

All i will say is, I owned a 2001 Hyundai Elanta GLS some years back and altough it develop into new and shiney and correct on the start, interior of two years, it develop into breaking down the different month and develop into getting all rusted out. So somewhat, the previous asserting is real, you get what you pay for. in case you only want a decrease priced motor vehicle for form of two years, the Kia will in all probability be high quality, yet do no longer anticipate it to final plenty longer than that!

To improve engine performance use Premium petrol once a month, but the way to accelerate faster is not to change up a gear too soon, stay in 3rd and 4th longer before you go into 5th. 5th Gear is only really for cruising when you are at the speed you want.
Also you could look into getting a new engine

Try using Texas Revolution Special Full Synthetic Engine Oil. You will get better throttle response and smoother pick up.
You can hit 80km/h easily and beyond without noticing.
I don't know about KIA but my Honda can feel the push.
I am not the sales rep. I am the user giving some comments.
For your consideration only.

ive been debating on if this is a serious question if it is then there are a number of ways to improve performance. ie stroker kit, shaved heads, pistons, cold air(you can make on out of a couple pieces of tubing and a filter--dont believe me just try it) turbo the more air you have the better the car can "breath" the better the breating the colder the car the colder the car the better the performace-------HOWEVER for ALMOST anything with air, fuel has to be adjusted to compinsate think of it as a human body the more you work out the more fluid you have to put back in. good luck!

You mean like improving the engine work or keeping the engine work but making it go faster. If you have an automatic, floor it. If you have a stickshift, try to rev it. Just try it in an open area first. Like a test.

You can't. I don't know of any other engines that woudl be compatible with - much less fit into - a Kia, and using nitrous or any other ricemods would destroy the engine. Looks like you're SOL.
