^ just hold off on that engine part cowboy. you tweak 1 thing with inexperienced hands and the whole thing will malfunction. start off small like cold air, custom exhaust at a shop. do some research and search my man search to see how others before you have done it.
you can't just bore an engine though. to get an engine bored requires time, effort, mucho money for a shop to take your engine all apart into bits and pieces and rework the insides. i'm sure you already know that, but you definitely cannot bore an engine on your own and expect it to work right. i don't trust myself.
onto the transmission problem. some bright folks know how to rebuild a transmission with their bare hands. i'm not bright enough to tackle that, but if i were you i'd find me a good trusted guy to take the car to and have the transmission swapped with another tiburon.
as for the 2.0L vs. 1.8L, there's no real difference in performance. maybe 3 horses. you could gain 3 horses by buying a fiberglass hood and shaving some weight.
i believe the transmissions are the interchangeable. you might want to confirm that because it's never really come up on the other forums too much. you might want to ask elantraxd.com
