I was Helping with (workon with help) this.

This was by far the biggest PITA ive ever worked on. Not only do i now officially hate Hyundia motors but i also hate a few other things. And the fact that we didnt have everything was also a pain and that the TB was for a 4cyl and not for the v6 which means the salesmen is officialy a dumbass.
Im waiting for the engine to fall apart because Jonathan refused to use thread lock. His statement was "they DIY on NT.com doesnt use Thread Lock im not going to." i finally convinced him to use silicone on his valve cover gasket.
Well all in all after we got it running we had to troubleshoot an incorrectly sized gasket. Now we either have a vacume leak or a sensor messed up somewhere because it seems to want to idle at 3500 RPM :uhoh:
But while i was doing this i was thinking. How do vacume booseter work when you go FI? :eek7:
Anyway, there are some more pics. didnt get a finished pic with the manifolds and all on because it was nearing midnight and i was tired and more worried about the thing starting.

Good News.
Apparently the idle problem was because of hte crusie contorll throttle cable. the new manifold was a bit wider and therefore amde hte cable a bit tighter, it had the plate just barely cracked. an adjustment of the throttle cable and the car is notiseably faster form both pre manidfold and precable adjustment (we ran the car to 80 from a 15mph roll at 12:45, lol. his exaust isnt LOUD but it isnt quiet).
but...eh wheel hop and torque steer where/are insane. we just about ran all the way into the oncomming lane (well no traffic obviosuly but still)
