engine suggestions?

[dspeedy]

im trying to swap my engine for one with cheaper miles, and i also want to change my auto tranny to a manual tranny, how much am i looking on spending for this plan? any suggestion on what to do? or where to get this parts at a good or fair price?

You're looking at spending more money than it would take to buy a completely different car with the engine and trans you want in it already. There have been a million discussions about engine swaps - but nobody in North America (to my knowledge) has ever done one.

What do you mean "one with cheaper miles?"

[BobMs_wht2k2]

^^ Agreed. Just buy a different car. I twill cost less money and headaches.

depends on if he's saying he wants a newer elantra engine in, those things can be dirt cheap on Ebay with few miles on them.

I did engine swap on my car however i didnt do the work to put it in.... got my engine after destroying my original engine with nitrous... gotta alittle nitrous happy lol... the engine is still a beta from an 03 tiburon

But to swap trans from auto to manual, it's gonna require a PCM change, pedal change, console change, shifter assembly harness swap among countless other issues.

cbehange (or however you spell the screenname) is going to do the auto to manual swap . You can do anything you put your mind to, and some people enjoy the challenge

i know a guy that does swaps, he is going to do a beta 2 into a accent. he has done is tib from a standard to a automatic with shiftronic shifter. so you might want to call him. go to www.APEmotors.com he is really cool to talk to.

well what i mean by cheaper miles, its cuz my elantra right now has 102,000 miles, yeah i know i did run the **** out of my car really quick, but thats why i want to buy and engine that has less miles, and about getting a new car, i dont think that is possible, right now im done paying my car off, i have no payments whats so ever on it, and im going to be in a tight budget, and the maunal tranny, its just that i drove my homies honda and it was a manual tranny, and after that i got hook on it, im willing to drop about 2 g's or less on getting all that done, hopefully it would be less, any advice?

Yo my car is in my buddys auto body shop getting repared cuz it was hit while itr was parked at my G/F high school and I have rental coverage so I went to rent a car and they gave me a 2006 saturn ION and this thing is QUICK for a 4cyl and the engine is about the same size as the elantra engine.

Ebay http://www.ebay.com/ usually has BetaII blocks for cheap and low miles.

Sure these have a lot of miles but you could always replace the internals or beef them up if you were looking to do this for performance.

Whats cool is this vender is located only half an hour away from me :)

Bumping this thread since this guy keeps pming about this lol..

OK, let's look at this realistically. You're gonnaneed the engine/trans, which is $1000 right off the bat. PCM($100 used), harness($50), Pedal assembly($100 used), clutch master cylinder($75 new), clutch line($45), Axles($120),clutch slave($50), fluids, plugs, wires, T/B waterpump, belts,miscellaneous stuff. . . .We're already at your max of $2k and we haven't even talked about installation.

I would say you are better off buying another 01-02 Elantra manual for $2500-$3000 and selling yours. You'll be way ahead of where you are now. It's not cheap to fix one, let alone change the entire car.
