Default 2001 swap for 2004 v6

Quick question, can you drop a V6 engine in a 2001 tiburon?

Thanx

yea you can..

it will be very expensive though and will be a pain in the ass. When your done, someone in a tiburon with a 50 shot of nitrous will still kick your ass in a race.

its the sad truth..

the v6 swap is possible though, just not worth it.

the real question is... why? if anything the V6 is MORE limited than the beta when it to mods.

What a waste of money and lack to use the search feature.

For one it would work with a lot of cash

Getting a RD frame to the XD/GK frame, for the motor to even line up,and getting the electrical to even work.

So get a turbo and get over the fact the V6 is bigger doesn't mean jack

The V6 will fit but as pointed out, it is not the most practical way to produce power. You would get better gains for less money by turboing the engine that comes in the car already.
