motor swap

hey guy do any of you no if a evo 3 motor or sr20 , ca18 or a good motor that you can to work to with out turboing it would fit in a hyundai excel 1994???

ive seen a sr16 shoved into an old excel like yours was at jamboree 2005 went hard 14's i think it was doing n/a if not an sr16 try a swift gti motor some of the boys on here have got a few kws out of theres

how much to people charge to do a swap?

Oooooorrrrr buy a real car....

you buy the motor and the booze, $2500 will sort it out.

your best bet would be to look at a 4g63 as they are a very popular swap if you get on the american hyundai forums they will point you in the right direction it is a very popular swap in america for you model car

These aren't the best advice.
I'm gonna be honest, if you want a faster car, sell it, and buy a car that is faster. It will be cheaper, and more reliable.

but it wont be unique

You should know that the majority of us on here are not that smart. We prefer to do things the hard way but in the long run have something that is not run of the mill and also alot of fun. And i think that most of us would not have it any other way.

As for the Excel, I am sure people used to have a heap of sucess with turbo kits for them. But i might be thinking of the wrong year model. But if it is the one, there was a heap of aftermarket kits available.

but i want my excel to have a motor that no otha one has so what motor and how much do you think it might cost???

If you want an excel that has a completely different motor, look at Honda engines. SR's and 4G's have been done before. To my knowledge, no-one has put yo or even a G13B from a GTi swift into them as yet

cause that would be naughty Michael.........

naughty like putting a 1JZ into an s13

Im a huge fan of cross-breeding swaps hey

If someone puts a Honda engine in a Hyandai I'm gonna crank out the beatstick.

if you want something unique and different it is most likely going to cost A LOT of money as it will involve alot of research to whoever is doing it id either do the 4g swap as i dont know of any any in townsville with one so it will be abit different or you can just buy tims civic and put a hyundai motor in it to piss him off even more lol i love you tim

Lol Rhys you doucher, tek yo would be amusing in a Excel.

it would be but alot of $$$

Possibly depends on how big the engine bay is on a excel

thats not the problem its that i dont think anyone has done it so theyre is no info and alot of money to spend on a 1st car

I spose but the first car is the one you love the most.

the engine bay on an excel would take just about any sub 2 litre 4 banger, with a bit of creative modifications would slot in nicely.

just out of curiosity, what engine do you have in youe excel (they came out with a few)

if you have the twin cam 1.8 litre motor, i think you'd be better off getting it rebuilt and boosting it. (unless you are on your P plates in which case you wont be able to do the motor swap either.

another thing you have to think about with the motor swap is also how you are going to fit the transmission up to the motor you choose or fit the tranny that goes with the motor in the car.

there is a fair amount of work to go through to swap an engine over, but with heaps of hard work, and if it is done properly can be real neat and satisfying.

and rhys, with regards to it not being done before, im sure that there would be something similar done somewhere to base your ideas. and if not, just think of how satisfying it would be to have it all completed.

true good point

wen i had my excel 3yrs ago there was 1 wit a galant motor cruisin round in townsville as jap motors had done the conversion as i was gonna do the same, but was gonna b turboe'd but mine was a 99 not a 94 model as well so it could b alot different in size

thanks guys but it wont be turboed i just want more power its only a 1.3l i think how much would it coz just to put it in with out bying it??

ok guys im looking at the 4g63 iv seen yo excels with them and they fit in pretty nicely who would be the best person to put it in?
