'03 Accent engine swap options
I've seen the DIY on the beta engine swap, and I know it's a popular option to upgrade the engine.
But are there any other options? It doesn't really seem worth it to increase the engine from 1.6L I have now to the 2.0L.
Is there anything larger that could bolt in?

Beyond that bolting in becomes an issue that's for sure. The 2.7l V6 can fit. I think the 2.4l from the 06 up Sonata would be a good swap but as far as I know nobody has done it.
The biggest reason to go with a Beta swap (besides the instant 34hp gain) is because a ton more performance parts are available for the Beta, so going beyond 138hp is reasonable.
