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.

Default 2.0 in 96 - 98 elantra

Could the 2.0 beta be placed in my 98 Elantra? Do I have to do anything in order for it to fit?

You have the 1.6L beta. I'm not 100% sure that it uses the same engine mounts that the 1.8L/2.0L beta does, but I am 95% certian that the engine mounts are the same.

Assuming they are the same, you would just need a 2.0L Longblock with ECU. It should bolt right in to your existing engine mounts and bolt right on to your existing 1.6L tranny.

I once saw in a brochure that my Elantra had a 1.8 variant. As far as I know, no elantra here had a 1.8. But anyway, are the engine mounts of the 1.8 similar to the 2.0? If so, I know that my car could suport a 2.0L.
