Beta swap into an accent?
Wuz up everyone. I own a 2002 Hyundai Accent and I have the 2002 Hyundai Elantra engine 2.0L DOHC and need to know if there is anything that I need to know for the swap? I will be using my tranny and ecu and wiring. Its a direct bolt in right? Also I have been told I need a same yr flywheel, where can I get one for a good price? Any help would be great. Thanks Ben

I'm not exactly sure, but we do have a member here with a swapped accent. Larry something is his name, I'm sure he'll reply soon.

YES, Your accent tranny and 1.6L computer will fit with your 2.0L
Many person in Québec have done their swap with this setup.
For the flywheel, I think you have to machined it a little bit but not quite sure.
In the electrical side, You will have to move some plug to them at the right place.

Denisst can also give you good advice about the swap.
Accent_RSI had the pleasure of swapping a beta1 in his LC.
My swap is a beta1 in an X3, not quite the same.
Basically, you have to modify all engine mounts. You can use your LC tranny or the tib/elantra tranny. They will both require some fitting, on the drive shaft or on the flywheel/clutch. You can use you 1.6l ecu with it's wiring using the beta2 sensors.
