Engine swap on a Getz
I was wondering what it would take to swap out a motor on a getz to a bigger elantra or tiburon motor? Ive looked at some video footage of getz with a 2.0l turbo motor. Im wondering if its plausable to do engine swap easily?

Easily no. Possible; yes... probably.
IMO find a wrecked one so you have access to all electronics, wires, etc. The custom parts will be the mounts, exhaust, intake, and... Axles <- that would be interesting to see what works. Assuming the 2.0 with a turbo fits under that hood.

Seen a video of a guy in the states who put a 2.0l turbo without major mods on the body, just a small hoodscoop, thinking its to get more air in there. Im one the hunt for a wreck thats suitable. Fingers crossed.
