Naaa.. I hate red on hondas. And you couldn't pay me to drive a hyundai powered vehicle, I HATE that company with a passion. I don't care if it is a 11 second car.
I'm happy with my cx. I'm changing each piece one at a time, and building a car that is just right for me. My own choices, my own design. I like it alot better that way. Its no fun driving someone else's creation.

Uh... it's a 4G63T. It's a mitsubishi engine. just so happens to have a hyundai valve cover.
yup. IIRC, thats just a fun-cover. funny also to mention, he's got the dual runner cyclone intake. it functions like the gsr intake. i wonder if its a JDM engine? there are no differences in the motor except the manifold and the required electronics/ecu to utilize it.
the elantra which sported the "hyundai" 4g63 was never turbo, and sometimes confused with a really watered down 4g64 which also came in those cars.
somoene put that valve cover on there. probably since the original one was busted. they are like plastic.
i've got a hyundai valve cover for mine.
because i decided it would be more fun to use a hammer to remove the previous valve cover. 
also, the swap isn't odd at all. that motor has made its way into a multitude of non-mistu related vehicles. i would suspect it to be one of the most generally modified motors in the world.

I am not sure if thats a genuine eclispe motor. my friend changed the cover of his B motor with an eclipse's cover. I might be wrong, but it could be done.
see my post above.

I was referring to the 'hyundai powered' comment...
yeah, i doubt the swap would be too difficult. A guys swapped an F20C into an AE86 (on a BMI vid posted here a while back)...a 4g63 almost feels like it should be a standard honda swap.
New mounts...new front steering...maybe like a 5-6k project...prolly have to rip out the dash and use an eclipse cluster or your own after market design.

No they aren't.
Built 4G63Ts are some of the highest power 4-cylinders on the planet.
Why do you think they put them in the EVO, and are making enough horespower to make your Honda motor crap itself?
