My LC beta swap diary UPDATED!! (56k warning)

[goincommandocam]

well i mean the beta 1 is all they had but i still need 2 know how 2 shorten the axles

[mishra26]

ok, so with a stock LC2 (the 03 accents are LC2s unless i'm too tired... right?) best bet on the swap is the beta2 engine, then piggyback the ecu from the accent onto one from a beta1 ?

and how easy is it to switch over from an auto tranny to a 5speed?

i just got an oportunity to get a 01 tib for parts so i can do the swap but i am nowhere near close to being a mechanic, a bodyman yes but i always take a care to a shopp unless its basic maintenance. my question is this, anyone possible live aorund the indiana area that might be interested in making some cash helping me out with it so i can learn some new things. i know i could take it to a performance shop and have them do it and pay out the a** for it but i would like to be able to get my hands dirty as well cause thats the only way i am gonna learn. i'll try to keep on on this post or you can email me at nyhuise_wr@hotmail.com

Hey bizzare i read the whole thread twice and i was wondering what ecu and harness you finally used? did you use the beta 1 or 2 ecu or did you use the 1.6 ecu and harness please advise i would like to start working on my car very soon thanks for the info.

[bizzare]

i am in a reserch for engine ,but here(GRECE) we maybe have beta's 2 to older tiburon's(here we call it COUPE 's).
is it possible to have 2foto's????
one off a beta1 & one off beta2, to do my reserch more easy?
(here the accent 's have imobilaizer system till 98.
my accent is a 5door 1.3l soch , 5speed , abs , 2a/b , power locks ,power windows(4) ,
power stearing , aircondition.ALL stock
may i have problem with anything else exept power stearing and aircondition???????? if i do the swap?
the fotos i want is that here they dont know the engins codes(they dont use them) and they use only the year of the doner car or the look of the engine(if isn't the same).

Here in Puerto Rico there aren't that any x3 1.6 if there are any they are very few. but what i want to know if i can use any other wire harness to put in the tib. ecu in my 95 accent 1.5. i've heard and seen accents with that swap but i want to make sure before i go buy the wire harness

I have a 1998 Accent SOHC 16V 1.5L. It runs good but needs alot more power, the swap sounds easy but i guess what i need to know is what would be the fastest most efficient engine to put in my car?

i move the trans 1 inch to driver side to increase pulley clearance.i made the bracket that goes to the cilinder block and use the accent mount.for axles use scoupe 93-95 axle lh side for lh side in the accent and rh axle from elantra or tiburon.both axle are 23splines.will hold a ton more.accents are 22 splines.99 elantras are 25splines.

saludos.

i've heard so many times that the kia sephia ECU fit the accent ECU harness. BUT, i've never tried it. try to look one on caguas junkers, look for the sephia or sportage ECU.


GOOD LUCK
