Will work just fine, depending on how large of a spacer you get you may need longer bolts. To my knowledge the air-ram uses the stock ports and stock bolting positions, so it should be fine.

Sure it will, Dennis99 is the guy that made that setup.

Isn't he?

LOL

Remember the phenolic spacers smush up when you tighten down your IM, and they aren't THAT thick.

^^^ Yea, that was the one I was talking about. I was just thinking if its 1" away from the firewall and the extra injector setup is 1" plus an 8mm spacer... its a lil past the firewall as is tongue.gif Figure in engine torque lol, its hittin my knees smile.gif. I dont know, I will figure it all out when the time comes I guess.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (zman)</div><div class='quotemain'>Guys, looking at that picture I can confirm you that this bar WON'T FIT.
After instaling the AirRam, the space between the idle air motor and the firewall is like 0,25" and the AirRam raises just where the motor is with the OEM setup.
The best thing would be a bar that goes in front of the AirRam, between the AirRam and the valve cover...</div>

nevermind. it was the idle control actuator.

hummm
in my case with a swapped accent i have enough room,
it would be quite odd that the tiburon has a smaller engine bay...

might just want to relocate the idle actuator under the intake manifold like i did
