Non turbo 4g63 is the easiest and cheapest swap. I did this swap on my 95 élantra. Everything bolt in

Get a 4g63, use the 4g61 transmission and axles. 4g61 harness. 4g63 injectors and fuel rail. 4g61 ecu. 4g61 alternator belt is too short. Need the 4g63 belt. I kept the power steering and ac. I believe I used the 4g61 intake manifold because of vacuum lines and 4g63 throttle body. If you want to up the compression you can use the 4g61 head. It has the large ports that match the 4g63 but the combustion chamber is smaller so you will get a bump in compression. Fun car to drive

I understood like that...
1) First of all I am going to find a 4g63 ( I only can find sonata in my country) is it problem because it s also 4g63?
2) I am going to use 4g61 tranmission and axles( on my own elantra?) I don t have to change
3) 4g63 injectors and fuel rail
4) 4g61 ECU
5) 4g63 belt for alternator
6) 4g61 intake manifold and vacuum lines ( on my own elantra?) I don t have to change?
7) Do i need 4g63 throttle body or not? i didn t get this
8) so what about head? 4g61 or 4g63? i want to change head i think it would be better but you are the expert what i am going to choose between them?

Thanks a lot for response..

(1) same engine, not a problem
(2) yes, use your transmission, mounts and axles
(3) yes
(4) yes
(5) yes, I believe you need the 4g63 power steering belt as well. It's been a while. Don't remember
(6) yes use yours. All élantra engines that I have seen use the big intake ports
(7) no you don't need it but the 4g63 throttle body I believe is bigger and will breath better, again it's been a long time since I looked at them.
(8) if you have the small chamber head with the big ports it will give you a little bump in compression. That is totally up to you. Heads will both bolt up. Car is pretty fun to drive even when not turboed. Hope this helps

I just put a stock turbo talon pump in. Easy peesy. If it can flow enough for a turbo motor, it flows enough for the na motor
