91-94 Hyundai Excel turbo swap?

[Tom Sawyer]

Since I've seen the turbo Mirages and Colts I got to thinking, maybe that 92 Hyundai Excel 5-speed that is just sitting down the street collecting pine needles with its '99 tags could be a transplant victim. I read up a bit and a few places sort of implied that the motor from a turbo Colt/Mirage may swap in. I believe that motor is a 4G61T or something close. What I'd like to do is swap that motor in hopes that the stock tranny will match up. The car weighs 2200lbs stock and with a ported 14b on a 1.6 I have a feeling 200 whp would not be a problem. Would be kinda fun to play with on the freeway, anyone know if this is possible?

I have a friend with 4G63T in '95 Excel. Mechanically, it is a direct bolt-in. However, he has been having problems with making turbo ECU work well in this car (BTW it uses 1G style ECU), so he is probably going to convert to 1G DSM harness.

You know I had a hunch that'd work Kickass! What kind of power will those trannies take? Clutch? Suggestions? You got a site or some people who might be able to help me along the way Leon or Geovannie?
