Meh, I dunno that it's worth it to swap in a Beta II. If I did I would build it up and boost it. If I swap and plan on keeping it N/A I'll probably get the 175hp Theta II from the 2009 Sonata and run a full standalone.

 

Has that swap been pulled off at any point?

 

Not that I know of. The Theta is a pretty short motor but all the mounts will need to be fabricated (doesn't bother me) and I'm unsure about the dimensions of the Sonata's transmission. I may have to notch the driver's side frame rail structure if it's too long but I'm not really intimidated by that either I would just prefer to avoid it for simplicity. Aside from that I'll either have to run a standalone which can control CVVT (expensive) or just use a Megasquirt and freeze the CVVT in a set position.

I know it wouldn't be easy I just want to do something different now that there are engines coming up that would make the Accent a truly fast car. I've even considered trying to mate the Genesis Coupe's 2.0t Theta II to the Sonata's transmission. That would be fun too.

Oh, and I fixed the video of my run to the one I meant to upload so it has the mods and the graph at the end in my first post.

 

Hmmm trying to put the theta in would be interesting.

Considering they're not really out on the road yet means it's a bit too early to think about it, lol.

 

I could get the Theta I out of a current Sonata and install it...then upgrade at a later date if I wanted to but I don't want to spend that kind of money twice. Even though there are quite a few available the Theta engines are going for pretty high prices around here.
