2002 motor swap 4 cyl to v6
 

Hello, I have a 2003 sonata with a 4 cyl. I want to swap motors out of a 2002 sonata v6
Is there any issues I need to know about before I start this project?
I’m taking the v6 out of a wreaked 2002 sonata and want to put it into the 2003 that had a 4cyl. In it.
Thanks
Mike

Get the complete engine/trans assembly, complete axles from drive unit out to the axle nut.

You will need to aquire all the wiring intact, PCM & TCM, you is in all going to have quite the adventure, fuel lines, throttle cable, cruise, and all the A/C related items (lines/compressor/electrical)..

Better off to buy you a V6 car.

Yes i figured it was going to be a big adventure..lol
I have the 2002 with about 60.000 miles on it, i rolled the car and its smashed up pretty good. i was going to cut the roof off and install another, but after getting all the other parts i need + paint i was hoping this might be a little easer. the 2003 with the 4 cyl is in really nice shape, body wise. they never changed the timing belt and the pistons hit the valves when it went, and I’m getting the 03 for 1.000
Idk maybe out of the 2 i can make 1 good car..lol
I can say Hyundai built a safe car, i wadded it up pretty good and got out with out a scratch!
Thanks ill let you know how it goes.
:rolleyes:
