F/L1 v6 vs F/L2 v6 - Similarities and differences
Are there any differences between the engines in the 2003-2006 Tiburon Engines to the 2007-2009 engines? If I need spare parts can I use the F/L1's engine parts or would they not match? Any other parts such as interior, do they also match? How similar are these cars besides the Exterior body panels?

If I recall the 07+ Betas (i4 motor) were cvvt. The Deltas (v6) though had few if any real changes.
Other than that the only changes were cosmetic.

We're a cool group here. Not a-holes like the NT guys. 
If you know other NT members who are sick of the people over there, tell them to come here.

Stay away from the early 03 V6's that were made in 02. Those have funky 0-5 volt narrowband sensors and are NOT compatible with the 07 ECU programming. Other than that swap away!! If I had to do my swap over I'd probably snag a 06-07 Delta out of a Sonata or the later MU variant from the 07-09 Santa Fe or Kia Rhondo. Those have VVT and Variable length manifolds that once tuned can make decent power. 
I'm currently running the variable manifold from the MU motor and just that made a HUGE difference to my poor plain old Delta.

I wasnt planning on doing anything other than have some spare parts to repair my car a bit, I love the 07 Tiburons look and just overall enjoyment to drive and kinda jumped the gun and bought a car that was in a front end wreck, It runs fine and its incredibly enjoyable to drive, Id just like to fix up a few problem areas. Most notably my Gas pedal sticks, which makes no sense considering the Throttle body, Throttle Cable, and Pedal all work fine seperately(Ive even cleaned the throttle body excessively). Also some parts are just straight up missing, namely MY ENTIRE AC.... -_-. But yea, Im just hear to iron out details. Also I have Shop manuals for it so I can always post some pages if Anyone needs a page or 2, Just need a scanner.
