i came up with an idea to put the newer engine the v6 in the 2003 + models in my 99' tiburon fx coupe for the extra power, greater performance options and of course 6 speed smile.gif and i was wondering if anyone has heard of anyone else doing it or if theres any info on it or if its even possible to fit and do? any input would be great thanks

Turbo the 4 to get the same (or more) power for less money, work and weight.

an engine swap is a lot of work. i agree to turbo it as well if you are looking for power. plus i dun think you can find the v6 engine lying around that easily

Dear Sicotic,

Wherever you obtain the 2.7 liter V-6 Delta engine, pull the complete drivetrain with engine, transmission, half-shafts, struts, hubs and and brakes. Pull the complete engine wire harness and ECU. You will need all of these parts.

Yes, you can turbo the Beta. The engine is relatively bullet proof like the Civic VTEC, and can take large boost. The Delta is rated at 172 hp. The Beta can easily be boosted to 200, 250 or 300 horsepower.

Why don't you work up a cost analysis side-by-side. Better plan that a turbo install will be at least $4,300 for a complete kit purchase and install if you do some of the mechanical work your self. If you try to buy the parts and pieces on eBay, you could drive this price lower but you will need a saavy performance shop to review and determine if the components will work well together.
