Hi, need opinions about accent 99 engine change...?
Hi, I have a Hyundai Accent 99, standard with 1.5 l engine. It was repaired recently because its crankshaft was damaged (oil was recently changed, always is kept abreast), it worked a week and it broke again, the is damage worse than before.
I want to know what motor can be adapted to my 99 accent, since I don't want to invest in its engine again and bring it back damaged, because apparently washed the block and lubrication lines were clean. And if I'm going to change the engine I don't think putting 1.5, I want a bigger engine.
* I understand 1.8/2.0 Elantra or Tiburon fits, but don't know what changes should be made to make it work well. The computer is now from Elantra.
Thanks for your help!

I personally feel it's not a good return on investment. I'd replace the engine with a working 1.5 like the original one and then adding a turbo. Doing a 2.0 Beta swap is possible but it's not like a huge improvement in power unless you turbo that as well. Then you start getting into big $$$.

Thanks for the threads and advice. I understand what are you talking about. But I do not want to compete with other cars, I just want to put an engine with more power than the 1.5L. I live in Puerto Rico and there are many mountains on the way to my house
