I am going to be doing a beta 2 swap in my LC. My LC is the 1.5L with a manual transmission.  I will be trying to document my project and take loads of pictures in the process.  

I still have some question that would be help full if answered! 

Will the 1.5L starter work with the Beta 2 and LC 1.5 transmission?

Is a adjustable cam gear worth it?

First of all is my shopping list.

 1. 2001-2003 Elantra or 2003-2004 Tiburon engine. They are the MAP based engines.    Around $400-1k, depending on miles.  

2. Manual transmission starter. Used $35-50 

3. Power steering pump. Used $40.00   

4. 1.6 DOHC LC ECU. Used $100.00  

5. Clutch (Scoupe turbo). New $95.00 

6. OBX under drive pulley. New $78.00* 

7. Adjustable cam gear. New $150.00*  

8. Water pump. New $60.00      

9. Timing belt. New $55.00      

10. Spark plugs and wires. New N/A

* Parts not needed to complete swap. Just easier to do when the motor is out of the car.

I still have to gather all the parts, and then I will be able to give a total and what parts are actually needed.
