Hi im new on here im andy,

Iv got a '54 plate hyundai coupe 1.6 S, what im wanting to know is, how difficult would it be to transplant a 2.7 V6 engine into my car as i have a friend who is breaking his for parts after a bad rear-ender with a dafty in a clio , i can have the engine, gearbox, and wiring loom for next to nothing and i know its in good condition .

Has anybody tried ?

Would really appriciate some advice, thanks

 

What is a '54 plate hyundai coupe?

 

A 54' plate refers to the UK year of registration a hyundai coupe is called a tiburon in th US. Any advice would be greatly appreciated : )

 

That still doesn't help. There is no 1954 Tiburon so what mode year is it?

 

Its a 2004 model, the 54 just means it was registered in the second half of 2004.

Sorry for the misunderstanding

 

Okay, yes, it will easily fit since the 2003-up Coupe (GK Tiburon) came with a V6. I wasn't sure if you had an older, 4-cylinder only Coupe/Tiburon. If you have the mechanical knowledge and all the parts it shodul be fairly straight forward.

 

I can have all the parts i need and a good mechanic (always comes in handy) who is goona help providing i keep him going on the coffee front. Im aiming to acheive what we call a "sleeper" - A car that doesn't look quick but goes like **** of a shovel so any advice how i could maybe reach 200+ BHP, supercharger and remap? Obviously this part will be done by a specialist/ tuning company

 

The ****, was a stonger word for feaces lol

 

Sounds like a cool project. Keep us posted on your progress and post some pics too.

 

I will do, thanks for your help mate.
