get the engine they are stronger and have a better head design
but
make sure you get all of the sensors and manifolds from a beta 1
i know its a pain in the ass but you typically can find a lower mileage beta 2 than you can a beta 1 at the yard
my wagon had a beta 2 in it ran great until i sold it to move

Ok sorry fellas but I need to correct everything I have said. The engine im pulling out is from a 1997 hyundai elantra GLS wagon. It is infact a beta 1. The guy thought it was a 02 since the body was flawless and it only has 63,000 original miles on it. Today progress was made. In 2 hours I got everything dissconnected besides the mounts. Im gonna try and pull the engine and leave the tranny in it. I dont know if its possible since I only have about 1 1/2 inches of room on the passengers side.
Im so stoked that its a beta 1. This will make things a hell of alot easier. I guess its a 2.0. I was reading the sticker under the hood and it said something like 1905.7 cc engine. Thats not the exact number but its close to what I read. Being that many CC'S wouldnt it be considered a 2.0?
I really need to get some pictures so you guys can see what im working with. Since its a 1997 I should be able to plug in the ECU from the GLS and everything be ok right? I hope that there isnt going to be any problems since the GLS's ECU is a automatic. I hate CEL's after a engine swap.
Gosh this little car is going to scream. Hell the engine is almost broke in LOL.

With the cc reading I'm sure you have a 1.8
I'd pull both at the same time</div>
Ah man please dont say that. Seriously though a wagon with a 1.8? I hope not. Is there any real way to tell if its a 2.0? Im like half way through taking it out and to get it out and find out its a 1.8 would really burn my ass seeing that I already paid for the engine. Im hoping and praying that its a 2 litre. It just seems like a wagon would have been equipped with a 2.0 since in all reality it is bigger and some what heavier that a regular elantra sedan.
Would itmake any diffrence if it has a solid black valve cover and spark plug cover, or are all the engines like that.

Yes sir it is. I have accepted the fact that its a 1.8. Im about to start a official build thread with pictures. I got the engine yanked out today and on a hoist.
I was wondering though, Is it just as boost friendly as a 2.0?
