ok so recently i have obtained a 1999 hyundai accent gl and from what i have gathered from searching around an evo engine will fit in it (not completely sure though). so my question is where could i possibly find a engine. the whole point of this is that i want to build a rally car.

 

go buy a evo or a salvaged evo!!!

 

my bad u got an evo so where did u here a hyundai engine bay will fit a evo engine. u gotta woorry about the awd system

http://www.roadraceengineering.com/4g63motorsearch.htm they have a list composed on the true japanese engines. also u might wanna try ebay

 

+!

 

i would go buy a used or salvage evo but that would require spending more money. i got the accent for free so now all i have to do is turn it into something like this: http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomfr...2Farticle.html

 

I don't think it's the evo engine, but I could be wrong. It's most likely an engine out of a turbo fwd 1st or 2nd gen eclipse/talon. That is something I've heard done, and you can pick up the whole setup (engine, tranny, ecu, axles, etc) relatively cheap (Aprox $1000-$2300 depending on age and condition). I've seen that done before in Sports Compact Car magazine a couple of years ago.

 

Although I agree it doesn't look like an EVO engine, I know it is not a 1G or 2G Eclipse/Talon angine. The timing belt cover is on the wrong side, and the cam cover is completely different. I have seen Hyundai's use the 1&2G Eclipse/Talon engines before and it looks nothing like this.

Here is an example... http://www.rigoliracing.com.au/hyund...cent_front.jpg

 

why not get a mirage and make an evo, or abandon this idea because for the price of putting an evo complete drivetrain in that korean ****box youd be able to get a used evo 8
