Beta Motor Transplant
Has anyone been successful in installing a Beta I motor in a 96 Accent GT.
Any special modification need to make it fit?
I have all the necessay parts to make this happen, Engine, trans, axles, ECM, wiring harness.

that's about it? hmmm... from what i understand, you will need to convert your car to a return fuel system, have CUSTOM axles fabricated as neither the tib or accent ones will work, and obtain a standalone or piggyback ecu as the stock one from either car will not work. then there's the mounts, radiator relocation, a/c removal, etc. etc. etc....
i think that about covers most of it.

When you mean custom mounts...that than mean an modified OEM one?

you wont need a piggy back ecu. youwould replace the wirirng harness and use the stock ecu.
I never heard about the radiator needing to be relocated.
a/c I have not heard anyone talk about that either.
but yeah, I was comign back to tell ya.
You need new axles as well.

I've seen pics of ppl who have done these transplants in Australia. There are alot of similar things between the 1.5 DOHC and the Beta motors.
Has anyone purchase stuff from HVE? and good or bad comments?

Hey jaws, whenever you start swapping throw some pics on the board man, like as many as you can take. I plan on doing it before the end of the summer in my 2001. Also plan on adding some boost, so I'm still gonna be rebuilding the motor and what not for a while. I just wanna see some guide info some I'm not completely blind on this.

We have the donor car already and we are in the process of removing it sometime this week.
Next summers is the projected date of installation, still gathering information on making this project work. But forsure we'll pist progress pics.
