Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Have you re-set the ECU so the computer can learn the new setup?

Have you tried a new sensor? They do go bad. I've replaced 2 in the last 5 years.

I had a similar issue even though we only need one O2 sensor here, but after fitting extractors i kept getting a O2 cel so i changed fuel to a higher octane e.g 91RON to 95RON problem stopped.....

I don't see how changing the fuel would help but I'll try that too cause it's worth a shot while I'm waiting to use my buddies lift so I can put the resistors on and take pics of my set up to post. I would of had then up already by one it's to cold and two I don't have a jack that put my car high enough for me to get under it and my cars not even lowered lol
