<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(187sks @ Aug 7 2009, 08:34 PM) </div><div class='quotemain'>I have a bunch more pics from that swap also.

Plus a guy I know says he did the V6 swap for a client.

The main reasons not to do it is the harness will need to be fully customized because of the different number of cylinders and sensors, and as mentioned before the weight issue.</div>

okay thanks alot by the way for all of you guys' help. so im going with the beta, but is there anything past what is available on SR that i can upgrade. Also does anybody know if the turbo kit featured there fits with the accent specs and also if the cat and exhaust line up

 

Exhaust won't bolt up. There are a ton of other places offering parts, have a look through our vendor list. If you're looking for something specific we can help you find it.

okay so do i need to have a custom exhaust fabbed or will one off one og the models fit ie tibby, elantra, accent? also will the cai for a beta fit right in the accent bay?

 

You would need a CAI that fits an Accent, which would be one for a non-turbo '99 Eclipse.

You would need a header for the Beta and at least to have the exhaust custom fitted to your stock exhaust. In my state an exhaust shop will not work on your car without a cat in place, so you would need a high flow cat also. By the time you're that far into the project you might as well just run full custom all the way to the tailpipe IMO.

sorry to keep bothering but as im researching the beta II I couldnt help but notice that hyundai is still putting it in its latest model cars so i guess what my question is is does anybody know how new a motor i can swap with cuz i noticed on that DIY link you gave me earlier he gave a very specific year 04 i believe as the last year beta that was usable and i was wondering why

 

Newer than that the Beta II has CVVT, so you can't run it off of the 1.6l ECU. Other than that the swap would mechanically be the same. You'll just have to run the Beta II ECU and modify the wiring harness to allow that.

 

another thing i am going to be running alot of electronic extras and was wondering if anybody has ran a second alternator on this swap. on a side note i have been doing my homework and have almost come up with a comprehensive list of what i think or at least found that geats the max out of this swap and was wondering if somebody would grade my work and give advice. will post when finished

 

also i just wanted to double check that i need the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate for the Beta II but the short shifter for the Alpha Tranny since im leaving that in right?

 

Pretty sure it's 1.6l clutch and pressure plate with the Beta flywheel if using an Alpha trans, but a Beta swapped guy will verify I'm sure.

ok gotcha cuz the clutch and pressure plate are controlled by the tranny and the flywheel by the engine so that means i would need the shifter for the alpha since it controls the tranny and its not changing. no word on the alternator huh? i have had trouble find a underdrive pulley and a limited slip diff
