The beta into an accent is NOT a "direct swap".
Yes, it does "fit", but the motor mounts from the tibby need to come over and be welded into the frame/engine by of the accent. (the accent motor mounts need to be removed).
Needless to say, this is NOT cheap or easy. It's NOT something you can do in a weekend yourself.
Kore is working on a "kit". Last I heard, the kit would include. Motor mounts, wiring harnsess, axles, and any/all adapters/plates etc.. to get the beta motor to mount up. The kit was rumored to be priced under $1000.
I would contact KORE for more info, or wait for an offical product release.

Swap kit for the 01 is not ready the early car is very close to having kit ready. Working out finals on it now. few design changes as we are doing the second one to enhance and make it better.
Next project will be for the 01 accent but dont expect until at least jan for that kit to be close to production.
