I know this isnt thought to highly of but, Im going to ask it anyways. Here is the deal my girlfriends brother owns a shop and builds race cars and races them up in NY and NH. Now I have a Hyundai Tiburon and I love the way it looks, but it is really slow, so I would like to engine swap it, but Im not sure what engine would be good in there. My girlfriends brother told me he would do all the work for me for FREE, the only thing I have to do it get the parts and bring them to his shop. So what would be a good more powerful engine that will fit in? Now please refran from the flaming, because I know most people don't like this, but if I can get it done for free, by a professional, why not look into it

You're not gonna fit a bigger engine in without enlarging the engine bay. Seriously, I don't think your girlfriend's brother is getting himself into. Any swap is going to require MASSIVE amounts of fabrication. It's just not gonna be worth his time or effort, or yours for that matter. It would be cheaper for you to buy a turbo kit, a limited slip differential, and forged internals for your car and have him install all of it.

Well he has done this on RX-7, 240SX and many 300zx. Im pretty sure he knows what he is doing, also considering he has been working on cars for 25 years. DO you guys think an sr20 would fit in?
