P3 Engine Replacement
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

Re: P3 Engine Replacement
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

Re: P3 Engine Replacement
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
