alright, after a bit of researching, the third-gen hyundai sonata's used the G4JS dohc 2.4 liter engine... the "sirius II" family... they have the same crank/camgear/pulley orientation as the EVO8 4g63's... 86.5mmx100mm just like the 4G64, and dohc.... coming from hmaservice.com it LOOKS like the intake manifold should fit, and its definatly in the right orientation for RWD use just like the EVO... oh well, if anyone has an extra G4JS intake mani sitting around, TRY IT!
i have to say, this is intersting stuff coming from my usual KA24de forums... such a clusterfuck of cranks/heads/blocks from mitsubishi/hyundai
