Okay guys, this is my first time starting a thread and I'm not for sure that I'm even doing it correctly. I bought a used throttle body off ebay from a 2011 Hyundai Elantra with 40k miles for right at $100 including shipping. I have been waiting for a day when I could get everything together and get it installed and today was the day. Also, while i was switching out the throttle body I decided to do the coolant bypass just for future reference so I don't have to get antifreeze everywhere if switching it back to stock. This install was fairly easy if you have any experience with working on anything mechanical or if you just learn by trial and error. Changing the parts was easy, however, me being the perfectionist I am, it took me longer than anticipated because 1. I didn't like the way the coolant hoses were being routed 2. I compromised with what I have and managed to barely squeeze the intake tube on the bigger throttle body (not sure if anyone else just use the stock tube) 3. I like all the clamps to match and not just look rigged up. So I will post the pictures and I am open to suggestions or criticism or whatever anyone wants to say. I did take the car out for a quick test drive after i finished it, mainly to make sure everything was put back together properly, and I already noticed the throttle response was better. I am driving it about 60-70 miles tonight to church and back so I will update everyone then.
I already have resonator delete, factory airbox delete and just put a spectre filter on stock tubing, BPV to BOV, engine bay dress up kit.
I have a 6th element CAI on the way, mishimoto J-line intercooler on the way (thanks @playwithmymind), and I just got my NST crank pulley in today. Catch Cans are next
