I finally put the new motor in that I got from IJSTBRNDU. Runs like a champ. The only issues I had was a set of fouled plugs and a small exhaust leak from my new header. Feels good to drive the tibby after like 6 months. I pulled the old motor last week, spent most of sunday dropping the new one in, and the day today finishing it up. Big fing02.gif to IJSTBRNDU for the great deal on the motor.

Mods as of now:
Elantra Motor
'01 Elantra Trans
Spec Stage 1 pressure plate and clutch
Custom Catch Can
Custom Intake
3M filled Motor Mounts
SR 4-2-1 Manifold, DEI header wrapped
MBRP 2.25" exhaust w/ high flow cat
Juntos front strut bar
Draft rear strut bar
Partial Wire Tuck

The old motor:
Outlaw IM spacer
1.8l pistons
XD cam
hopefully rebuilt by spring

 

nice to know your tibby is back on the road






now you just have to pray your clutch doesnt explode.

 

It has held up for the past year and a half, so I think it will be fine since I'm not putting any more that 120hp at the wheels.
