1.8L Elantra to 2.0L swap

Its up.. the same car dood.. You should have no issues. At least none that i know of.

If i were you, grab the 1.8 cams out of the Elantra engine and put them in the 2.0, they are better lift and duration. Also, i think the 1.8 ECU is better, but not sure.

i wish i was in your postion. everything you need is right in front of you.

use the 1.8 ecm it is hella good(if you dont mind the gas useage)
the intake cam is the only one that is different

Thanks for the replies so far. Just to verify from what I’m hearing from you guys it should just be a straight swap with no need to change wiring harnesses, ECU’s, or Motor mounts? What advantage would I get from installing the 1.8L CAM in the 2.0L Motor? If I did this is there anything special involved or just swap the cam and check the valves? What things should I check/change while I have the engine out (Water pump, timing belt). Thanks again.

P.S. the object of this swap is just to get a good engine in the car not make a racer but while I’ve got the engine out might as well put a little work in it

The cam is better for performance so if your not going that route it might be better to leave it alone. Keep the ecm in place its better overall from everything Ive heard. Only disadvantage to the 2.0 is higher piston speeds thanks to its longer stroke, but again your not going for high performance so you will be ok. If you want better gas milage it would be a good time for a UDP : Yeah its mainly for performance but I saw a nice gain in MPG as well. If your putting in a tib 5spd I think they have a lower final so its going to drop your mpg anyway... might want to do something to help keep it good on gas :dead:

some of the 2.0s have diffrent lift/duration. What year is that?

wow, they keep the same lift even after switching away from straight up mitz motors. :ermm: Any data on the shim head beta2 or the new cvvt equiped beta2?
