Ok... Probably one of those dumb noob questions, but is my RD1 a 1.8l or 2.0l. Every time I look up engine parts it asks, and I don't f*cking know and it reallllllly bothers me. Seems like every website steers me wrong. One will say 2.0, the next will say 1.8. It's a tiburon fx, 1998. I can give the vin if you need it. How do you know?

if I walked to the passenger side of my RD1, looked at the side of the intake manifold.
It read, ... 1.8 RKRD

All of the intake manifolds say 1.8 on them. Some say 1.8/2.0 .

I just went and looked at mine.

Go to your car, open your hood.

Look at the metal cross support that the hood prop rod connects to when closed.

See the 2 big white stickers?

The one on the left has your displacement on it.

Should be in the engine bay somewhere, i go to the junkyards all the time and i keep an eye out for 1.8L cams, I look in the driver side firewall in the bay and there is a plaque that has the displacement engraved in it. Etiher that or on the front of the bay by the radiator.

If you cant find it, just call the dealer if your really worried.
