Just got done my engine swap, if anyone doesn't know i had no compression on cylinder #2, so me n a friend saddled up friday night to start our first engine swap,

The bad engine




Starting to strip it down





The new Engine! You need a Honda to Pull a Hyundai






Back to pulling the old motor out




Battle Scars from the engine!




little shitty Ac pump design, in a troublesome spot for pulling the motor out from the top.



Oil Pan with a nice dent in it




Here we go, Pulling it out, Fingers crossed








its out, what a tight fit, pulling it out, the pulley was rubbing the frame and the bolts that go into the tranny were touching the tranny case




The Tranny still in place, definitely saved alot of time not having to drop it.








The New Engine back in Place, no pics of it going in, was too busy making it fit.







The amount of space to get the engine out of the tranny, and make sure the Belt pulleys were clear, wasn't alot of space at all.





All Back together, Success!




And Vids

With Vacuum Leak (Dash lights were about twice as bright as they should be)



Without vacuum leak



Much better, feels 1000 times better.

 

looks awesome!, havent watched the videos yet but I will in a second here hows it doing for you?

 

yes another rare tib... yes. lol nice job man gratz

 

awesme work! cant wait to do that to my own.

 

It runs soooooo much better than before, i wish i got a video of how it sputtered and stalled before.

Thanks for the kind words,

and the maroon (its not purple i swear) colour is considered rare? thats interesting to know.

I definitely had a big learning curve when doing this, i dont think i'll take my car to a mechanics again for work after being able to complete an engine swap, I think the hardest part of the job was putting the belts on the pulleys and getting that protective casing under the tranny back on.

 

glad you got it done but i can imagine that was 20x harder then what it had to be you should have pulled tranny/engine as a pack its SOOOOOO much easier to work with that way.

 

^^ i always thought it would of been easier to drop the tranny then pull the motor, but i've always heard the opposite on here

just watched the videos sounds nice, runs very well, now just slap some header, CAI and exhaust on that and your good to go!
looking great

 

Well done mate!

I'm really impressed you did that outside and from the looks of it in one day. (Took me.... way too long!)

I gotta ask though, why didn't you go with the Beta 2 engine?

 

nice job!!!! the second start runs great. if "good" weren't written on it, i would have thought it was factory. impressive.

did you get rid of the check engine light?

 

my car is a daily driver and i've had 4 transmissions, 2 engines and its' been nothing but trouble since day one i took ownership of it, i didn't wanna drop a beta 2 engine in it because i didn't research what a beta 2 is, and i needed the swap to be done in time for work, haha i guess that makes sense,

and it took about 18 hours to do, started friday night at 11pm and finished saturday night at 1, then just worked some kinks out sunday morning and got the vid then,


the junk yard wrote VE, for Very on the engine but scratched that out lol, and yes the CEL is gone laugh.gif which im ecstatic about.

we did do it outside, in a driveway with i think 27c weather which was a big bonus. 3 cases of beer and pizza and wings kept us happy
