Re: P3 Engine Replacement with P4

Can anyone give me info / advice on installing a P4 engine into a P3. What are the main hurdles etc ? I have obtained a clutch release bearing tube which I understand I’ll need. Thank you in advance. Tim

The main hurdles are likely the engine mounts, electrical connections, and drivetrain alignment
When I needed a powerful replacement for a different project, I found a perfect fit at https://enginezone.com.au/product/brand-new-engine-g4kh-2-0l-turbo-for-hyundai-i30-2018-2023/ with a solid warranty and fitment check
For your P3, focus on matching the bellhousing and measuring the engine bay clearance carefully before committing to the swap

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I have now completed the engine and indeed gearbox swap, a lot of work but I’m very pleased with the result

Cheers. Tim
