Hi my name is Zach, I have an 01 Tiburon that I've had roughly a year, I'm from the Waco TX area. I found this forum while looking for ideas for a new engine, because mine is locked from sucking in water..long story short, was a very rainy day, chose the wrong on ramp 02.gif. Currently, I have only modded my exhaust, took out the stock muffler and piping, got 2.5" straight pipe from after the downpipe back, and got a custom CF 4" exhaust tip. My hopes are to turbo it as soon as possible, but being in college working only 10hrs a week doesnt get the money too fast, so this will be a work in progress. I'm also in the process of getting 4 12" fosgate subs, and a 1000watt amp plus box put in, im saving for the amp now, but like i said, college drains your money. Lookin forward to talkin to you all and gettin some great help and ideas. Also, idk if this is prohibited or not, but if you read this and you or anyone you know has an idea on what engine would be best to put in, give me an email or PM. I'm currently thinking either a beta 1 or 2.

how did you suck up water? I"m assuming you have an intake that you didn't mention.

Get another 2.0 beta engine from a junk yard and replace it. That's your best option. The engines can handle a lot, and it's not worth trying to make something else fit. I would say $600 or so shouldn't be a problem.

oh yeah, welcome to the site!

Before you go replacing engines, start a new thread and see if we can't get the current one up and running again for cheap/free. . . .

and welcome to RDT.

welcome to the site...

i hydrolocked my engine before, but i went though my insurance to replace...now i wish i would have taken the money and did it myself instead...but i was lazy at the time

Ah, yea, the intake slipped my mind as it was on the car when i got it, but it was a pretty long intake, ran down roughly even with my bumper, and the ramp i chose to use to get on that day apparently had around 13" of water,I personally dont think it was quite that much, but when i got out about 30 minutes later, it was at least 7" did not look like it at all though, its a tricky ramp; so my intake went straight under..and poof..took it to a mechanic in my town, said there's really nothin to do except get a new engine, said it would be cheaper. I my self don't have near the experience to take it apart and see what is wrong, and am currently looking for a beta 1 or 2 to drop in. I also will open a thread real quick saying what happened and what the mechanic said.
