Beta Swap / 2000 Accent Engine Swap

[jmpetty]

I was wondering about beta engine swaps into the accent. This means that the Tiburon engine is being put into an accent? Is it the 2.0L Tiburon enigne? How difficult would it be to do one of these swaps into a 2002 Hyundai Accent manual with 1.5L in US? Would it be worth the time/effort with the increase in performance or would it cost more for installation,etc. then it is worth? Thanks.

it is a good swap, the car will responde better, and good performance, a thing i know is that if you make the swap u can install the A/C , but the car will respond better, I guees i would make a swap also

Anyone know of an engine swap I can do to my '00 Accent? Not too many performance upgrades available for mine. Considering swapping engine. Anyone else hear the rumor about a Tiburon engine in an Accent?

The Tiburon engine swap is a reality - but I only know of one place that does it and they are in Australia (www.PerformanceStylingCenter.com.au) and I don't think they will tell you how to do this - but it can be done. A guy in the UK is currently havin a 2.0 litre Coupe engine put inti his X3 Accent - but it is a lot of work and will cost a lot of money for a garage to do (and take a lot of time).

Engine swaps can be tricky in any car, but the accent is pretty good when it comes to room for different engines. I swapped the 2.0L from a 2000 Elantra in last year. It makes 140 hp so I should be pretty well off, considering it's only 4 cylinder. I had to make custom mounts because the bolts didn;t line up with my factory cradle very well ( go figure :P ) so the only real hard part was getting the wiring to work. I e-mailed the guys at Hyundai and the ysend the diagrams for my accent and the elantra, so all i needed to d owas cross-splice the wires. I do this for a living though, so I had no problem. I did still take me about 5 hours. Once the engine is installed the exhaust is another story. I upgraded to a larger pipe, so I custom fabbed the whole header/downpipe assembly. I used 321 sus steel so I know it'l be on for a long time. My plans are for a turbo system this spring, so I will probably try and sell the headers to some guy with an elantra. I think i'm gona use the T66 turbo, but i'm not final yet.

Here in Puerto Rico are a los of Hyundai Accent with that swap, the most I'l ready saw is in the 95-99 Accents, but in the 2000-up i saw a few, look this one is a Accent with turbo tiburon engine running low's 10 at the 1/4 mile, NO nitro




And this other running 9.7 at the 1/4 mile with a Turbo NItrous TIburon Engine

here running vs the world fastest EVO 8

sorry, I say that, that engine swap could be done, I guees the A?C cannot be fit, there no space for the A/C compressor, he need to change some of the engine support and the ECU, and i say to him, that he can go to a webpage of Puerto RIco, where he can find somehelp
