hey, i was just wondering if anybody knows anything about variable valve timing heads for the beta engine? I saw that the new tuscon comes with a 2.0L I-4 with variable valve timing and i was if it was the same engine and if it was possible to swithch the heads and get the variable valve timing for the tibby?
possible - yes
worth the few grand for like 4 hp - no
vvt doesnt give you hp it jus retards timing in for emmisions reasons and get you a smoother powerband

i drove an 04 CVVT elantra...
'eh. no big noticeable difference except for the fact it had 100 miles on it wink1.gif
and... CVVT = Beta 2, correct? i'm not sure, but i don't think it could be swapped w/ ours. but... i have no idea

It's not VVT.
It's CVVT. CONSTANT Variable Valve Timing.
It wouldn't be worth the thousands to do the swap. You'd have to swap your ecu and a LOT more.
Beta 1 = 2.0 MAF 96-01
Beta 2 = 2.0 MAP 03-04
Beta 2.5 (What I call it) = 2.0 MAF CVVT 2004
It wouldn't even be half worth the hassle.
