The Kia Magentis 2 litre is a similar engine (but with no VIS I believe).

It's a direct fit, apparently. See: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s....php?p=2594166

Modification kit reqd as per excerpt from TCut's link

"LKB000120 was fitted to the America / Canada / Mexico models, as the emissions regulations were different. It was a fly-by-wire throttle control system, hence the slightly different throttle body mounting flange.

We used to stock LKB108021 until supplies ran out last year, then got a limited supply of LKB000120 supplied as a kit needing modification to fit to our cars."
