thats interesting to see more motors that are possible to fit in are engine bays!

i know the head on the 08' i4 were used on the 1.8ltr amd 2.0 lts beta motors the 1.6ltr i never heard of and same with the 3.3 and the 3.5. it would be interesting to know who has dumped a 3.3 or a 3.5 into their car!? this should be sticked in i4 section also!
 
Are they a compatible swap? He says the 3.3 is and then goes to talk about the Sigma 3.5..
There is a Lambda 3.5 and a Sigma 3.5 ..
none are a direct bolt in. meaning there WILL be fabrication involved which means that it will cost you. most would say it isnt worth it, and for the price you could go f/i and make more power then you need in a FWD car.

I was just wondering all the others were talked about but not those.. But I wouldnt want to lose my A/C and stuff.. too much work.. But I am definitely interested in the 3.3 and 3.5 if its an easier swap.. might have to start looking around junk yards

doesnt exist. its going to cost a lot any way you go. unless you have tons of expendable cash i would advise against it. and even if you have lots of cash i'd still advise you get a better platform (better car)

That is why i said easier instead of easy... no swap is easy... But I know the tib would not be a good platform vehicle for it, but I love the tib. and am sadly considering looking into the cast iron block... Just looking into it not saying I will do anything... Either way I i'll love my tib

good attitude to have.
good luck in your modding
 
[The Hyundai 3.3L v6 Lambda engine can be found in the following vehicles:
(suitable swap for the Tiburon, although not a drop-in mod to my knowledge like the 3.5)

Hyundai Sonata 2006-present
Hyundai Santa Fe 2007-present
Kia Sorento 2007-present
Hyundai Azera 2006-present

The Hyundai 3.5L v6 Sigma engine can be found in the following vehicles:
(mostly drop-in for Tiburon, common practice in Korea. See Kspec for more details)

Hyundai Santa Fe 2001-2006
Hyundai XG350 2002-2005
Kia Amanti 2004-present
Kia Sedona 1999-2005
Kia Sorento 2003-2006




The 3.3L v6 Lambda engine (can be made to fit with modification)
The 3.5L v6 Sigma engine (can be made to fit with modification)


Engine Specs:

3.3L v6 Lambda:
244 hp (181 kW) @ 6000 rpm and 304 N·m (224 ft·lbf) torque @ 3500 rpm

3.5L v6 Sigma:
194 hp (145 kW) @ 5500 rpm and 297 N·m (219 ft·lbf) torque @ 3500 rpm
(US Spec, elsewhere is more powerful by 10-20 hp)[/QUOTE]

What kind of mods are we talking about for the 3.3 and 3.5? i currently have an 03 v6 and it lacks serious power and i want to keep the car but go hardcore n/a then maybe throw a little boost on it. what about keeping my m/t? im not really worried about labor (ill have lots of help). this is something i really am itching to do so any help would be greatly appreciated!!
 
The swap is rediculas expensive and a major undertaking for the amouont of work and moneies you would be better off buying a turbo and or S/C and bolt them on for instant hp...with a good turbo setup you can pump out just a lil under 300 whp all day on a good tune on the stock Dlta block:3_sleepey
 
has anyone looked into swap for the theta engine? i think the 2.4l or even the 2.0 from the forte koup would be fun to play with even though its aluminum... i mean we know the block can stand up to a lot of power, its the same world engine used by the new evo, right?
 
This thread is definitely awesome. As others have stated, F/I would be a cheaper and easier route for more power than a complete swap out, but the price also comes with the originality of a different engine. I would love to have a Lambda dropped into my Tibby, though I'm unsure about the 3.5 and 3.8L variants.

Does the drivetrain of a vehicle limit the engine swapping, i.e. does the engine have to be a front-wheel drive in order for the engine to be considered for swapping or would a rear-wheel drive work as well?
 
Ive been interested in the 3.5 motor for some time. Ive heard our tranny's will work with the motor (correct?) and if so would that mean the 6-speed would bolt up? Also, i know several have asked already but how much boost could the 3.5 hold and are there ANY performance parts for it (other than intakes, exhaust, etc.)?

Thanks
 
Iron block dohc variant.of the 6g74... Bottom end sould handle 500hp if iv read correctly
