Hi new to the site, I'm looking for information on how to make a betta swap in a 98 hyundai accent 1.5 .
1.what engine year model would fit my 1.5 accent manual tranny,heard of it here just can't find much about it.
2.what mounts need to be modifyed
3.specific axles to use, would my accent axles fit?
4.what ecu needs to be mounted,and can I use my accent harness and how to make it fit
Bassically the more info the better!

Literally google it or search here, this question gets asked about once a month.
1. Use a beta 1 engine
2. The passenger side mount needs to be custom made, all three transmission mounts are fine as is
3. Your stock accent axles are fine as is
4. You can use your stock accent ecu, and your accent harness with some modifications, but I don't recommend it. Use the computer and harness from the donor car. The X3 doesn't have complicated wiring, you're only supplying power to the new loom, and swapping over a few outputs like a tachometer and CEL signal.

some say do this,some say dont
i need some body that knows, and it looks like you do.
question.
Accent transmission. On betta engine

Betta ecu with betta wire harness
