Basic Hyundai/Swap information

[captainj]

I have a 1999 Elantra 5-spd that has the frame bent in the front so i cant drive it anymore and am interested in buying an accent and swapping out my beta motor into the accent. Will the shift linkages from the elantra fit the accent correctly? My elantra was automatic but my friends and I swapped it to 5-spd successfully so I have good experience into what I am getting myself into with this beta motor swap.

I've seen many people talk about the motor swaps in regards to the Accents/Excels...My question though is...Seeing as I've already purchased a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon 2.0L...is there a motor swap/upgrade out there for it? I know with the right amount of money I could put most any motor in it, but most swaps wouldn't be worth the money, time, or effort. I was thinking 1G Eclipse (4g63t) maybe. I was born and raised on Nissans myself this is my first Hyundai it'd be great to swap an sr20det into a Tibby :-D but I believe there would be serious drivetrain issues since the Tib is a fwd, and the Siliva's are rwd...never hurts to dream though.

Thanks in Advance,
Kevin

I need to know if anybody has tried to swap a tib trans/5-spd into a 98 accent with a 2.0lL engine.I have the accent trans/5-spd in it now.Pls reply.:nervous:

I'm kind of curious to find out what options are there for newer Accent owners. (LC2 if I recall). I have an '04 Accent and am curious to what swaps would be okay for my car.

So far I've learned a lot from reading all of this info :

Amazing how many people read thru three pages of people telling them if you have an alpha engine,it IS possible to get the Beta in there,yet two posts later 5 people ask if they can get the beta in their alpha powered accent...

hey there. new to this. i recently bought a 97 j2 lantra (as they are called here). it has a 1.8 beta in it at the moment but i wish to transplant a proton m21 engine in it (commonly used in mitsu's same as a mitsu engine) do i need to change the gearbox too? any bodywork required to make the transplant? or should it just b a straightforward engine swap?

any help would be appreciated. thanks

Hello everyone, I have been looking and looking for an answer to this question and have come up unsuccessful.

Currently I have Excel X2 Shell, 4G63T engine and f5m33 transmission (eagle talon turbo)

However I'am having trouble with axles . What kind of axles do I need to install to make this work? Tired a pair of axles from turbo colt that did not work.

Thanks

Good input. can the Mitsu/Talon 2.0 be swapped into 91 Scoupe? Any idea how much work and what needs to change?
