So I have had my 97 accent GT 1.5 5spd for a couple years now and I love it. I've been researching a little recently and from what I can tell I can swap my 1.5 for a g4gf 2.0. Can anyone tell me how much modifications I would need to do? It all seems to be bolt in for the most part.
Will I need to make custom motor mounts? I plan on buying the g4fg from a wrecking yard and rebuild it, so I'd love to get my hands on any internals I can find for a reasonable price. Any information you all could provide me would be wonderful! I got too many people I know with Honda's, so I'd like to give them a little surprise with my Hyundai. smile.gif

Welcome to the Club! That sounds like a pretty ambitious project right there. I'm not sure anybody in the Club has attempted that before, but there might be a couple of guys that can steer you in the right direction. Good luck!

Thank you all for the welcome! The G4GF is the 97-2001 Elantra / Tiburon 2.0 DOHC, I already found one here for $300 in a wrecking yard, I just need to save up and hope it doesn't disappear.

So far I have yet to read that the 2.0 beta wont match up to the Alpha 5 spd. Looks like I will have to get the Beta Clutch for it too, and Elantra / Tib ECU and wire harness. I think at this point I will probably just pick up the motor and start rebuilding it. I'll keep you updated as this will be done over the course of the year as I have money to do so. That little car is going to go from 92 hp to 140 hp from the swap! Maybe more after porting. I plan to do exhaust and intake eventually too. My hope is to get as close to 200 hp as possible and stay naturally aspirated, as turbo I have little to no experience with and it just sounds expensive. I appreciate your replies all! Wish me luck! smile.gif
