I currently am in the process of a beta swap an 01 2.0L into a 00 accent so far I've had to change the motor (of course) the flywheel, the clutch, ECU and harness. I reused the front motor mount you just have to transfer the mounting bracket from the 1.5 to the 2.0 bolt pattern on the top is different, the tranny and all 3 tranny mount can be reused. The wiring would be the most difficult since the 2.0 harness doesn't have the under hood fuse box plug and inside all the plugs are different. so plan on spending some time with research and a soldering iron. I have left to order a flywheel and do the wiring myself I will try to document what wires go to what and make this easier for someone else when I get the time to work on it. Hopefully that will be soon I can't wait to drive it!

You are swapping this into a 96 Accent. If my memory serves me right then I believe guys had to swap a cross member from a mid 97-99 Accent in. Also being a 96 wiring will be needed. I have a beta swap pin out guide but no 96 Accent listed. If your serious and need me to I can add it if needed.
