The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 4 - 6 Turbo engine fits in a Tiburon TAKE A LOOK !!!
Where could I find a Used Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 4 - 6 Turbo 280 Hp engine for my tiburon
since it is possible the swap take a look at this tiburon with Lancer Engine.
www.jengcars.cjb.com and look for the Hyundai Coupe with Evo 4 engine
I need a website of Europe, Japan, where Used Lancer Engine is available for sale.

do an internet search for "longblock"
You will find lots of companies that sell used engines. Now you need to find one that specalizes in Mitsu engines...and one that can get JDM spec motors into the usa.
You'd be better off to install the Eclipse turbo motor and tweeak it to 300 HP. They are basically the same engine...and there is a huge availablily of engines and parts here in the USA.
Someone in Greece (I think) already did the swap as well...and different photos were posted...but no details.
Keep in mind...the mitsu engine and the Hyundai Beta engine are cousins...but distant cousins. It WILL NOT be a direct swap...there will need to be a fair amount of custom fabrication to get it to work.

Hi everyone!
Hey Random,I live in Greece so I can find more info about the Mitsu engine swap. Can you tell me what was the name of the workshop, or the guy that did the swap, so I can start collecting info about that? Maybe I can take pictures and post them for you.
Thanx.

I'll see if I can find the original thread.
It was someone from Europe who "bumped" into another Tiburon/Coupe Owner who had the work done. They exchanged some info...but I don't remember the exact details....

I was planning to do the JDM spec Mitsu 4g63 cyclone turbo swap but not legal in Cali and really expensive. ARD Performance in San Diego has the motor I was going to swap and are direct dealers of JDM engines.

Cheuk in Seoul from the fxtreme forum has some info
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Not really worth the money. You have to swap both the engine, tranny and all the accessories. The labor alone would kill you. It is a better swap into a older Sonata, in fact it is almost a perfect fit. Since the Sonata engine is nearly a direct copy of the EVO engines.
It would be cheaper to do a turbo on the Beta engine.
I have some number in Osaka for used engines if you really want to go that route.
