I suggest that a step-by-step DIY be posted by someone about each type of swap, along with a complete parts list for each, and that they be made stickies right at the top of the DIY forum (seeing as this site is dedicated to beta swaps):

  • 1.5 -> 2.0 w/ALPHA trans + BETA ECM
  • 1.5 -> 2.0 w/BETA trans + BETA ECM
  • 1.6 -> 2.0 w/ALPHA trans + 1.6 ECM
  • 1.6 -> 2.0 w/ALPHA trans + BETA ECM
  • 1.6 -> 2.0 w/BETA trans + 1.6 ECM
  • 1.6 -> 2.0 w/BETA trans + BETA ECM

A list of parts that are interchangeable between cars or what modifications are needed to make them work would be nice also. (alt, p/s pump, a/c comp, cam sensors, crank sensors, map sensors, maf sensors, ect sensors, fuel injectors, ECM's, etc...)  I realize that no single person could know all of this information, but if we did it like a wiki where the information is user generated and kind of peer reviewed I think it would work.

 It would also be nice to see other kinds of swaps as well, like front brakes from a tib, elantra or xg, or rear disc conversions using tib/elantra parts, even Mitsubishi stuff that we can use.  I know I'm asking a lot but if we all work together it can get done!
