you will need to do 4 new holes in the tb to fit the
accent intake manifold!

after that its bolt on!

Hey, I want to do this soon, so I just wanted to make sure that a TB off of a 2001 Tib will fit my 98 Accents. Thanks.

Holes on the TB. In case you might want to revert back to the old TB it would be better.

Like Al said, i have put a 2.0L tibby tb on my x3.
Here was the process.....The 1.5L has a lil hole inside of the tb thats used as the idle air bypass. The tiburon's TB doesnt have this hole. So, I went and bought a breather filter to connect in place of the third hose. I then redrilled the bolts and enlarged them so that it would sit flush with the im. I then bolted it down and saw that the stock rubber hoses was to small and wouldnt fit over the tb, so I went and bought a replacement hose from autozone off there civic intake(the blue connector hose). I placed it over the tb and then connected to my stock 2" hoses. Right now it runs great! But, sometime in the near future, I would like to go and get the stock tiburon hose and connect it to the tb, so it will look more clean.
