Not enough information. What purpose? What's wrong with the current motor? Goals? Budget? Experience doing swaps? What trans to go with it? What ECU to run it?

It looks like the 2011 Elantra uses the 1.8-L Nu engine which was a completely new engine for Hyundai.
Like Jon said, why do you need a new engine? The newer models are so integrated that its not as easy to do any sort of swap. What is the purpose of your Elantra? If its a daily driver then slap on a cold air intake and be done with it because your not going to be able to swap anything else in unless your wallet is made of gold. lol

Not worth it to swap. If you're looking for a lot more power, do a bunch of bolt ons (I/E/H), or add boosters like nitrous or turbo.
