Nice man, I'll look into this mod. Clean and a tasteful DIY !

 

[Tuns]

The only tasteful part is a nice bottle of crown

Touché :joy: Or some Jameson

Picked up my 2016 VT about two weeks ago looking forward to working on it.

 

[Tuns]

Good luck with that and make sure to start a build thread.

 

[DarkVel16]

Will do man, and I'm always open to opinions and mods as well.

Got The V last week.... ordering the Elantra TB tonight. Hopefully it will arrive this weekend in time to make this happen...

 

[Zacharycklein]

I hope you didn't do that. 1.6l gdis CNT handle tht

can't handle what? marginally more air??? The motor is factory fitted with a turbo charger... a device designed to stuff more air into the cylinders than would be able under normal conditions. We need to better understand how moderately opening up the throttle body on a forced induction motor would create any issue at all before we could accept a statement like this

I'm just saying, first the plugs can only take so much, 2, if you force too much air, there's a point where the injectors can't spray enough, 3 it could cause piston damage, etc. I'm just saying its a risk you're taking. It could be fine though, who knows?

AFAIK the injectors easily take bolt ons + a tune. i don't believe sonofjohn's "tork" car has upgraded injectors and its around 500whp.


99% of the folks on this board are not going to be anywhere near that level.

what kind of bolt on's are you talking about with the injectors? When is a good point to tune? I've read about it on this board but since you mentioned it, I thought I might ask now. With my 04 Tahoe, I waited until I replaced the entire exhaust and intake system before tunning as it wouldn't have run right if I tuned then changed these things out.

bolt ons, ie. tb/intake/big turbo/exhaust.

the ECU is "very smart" . you'll get scraps of additional power with bolt ons, but a tune is required to unlock their full potential.

Got it... I miss understood and was trying to wrap my head around what a bolt on injector upgrade looked like! Just got notification that my Elantra TB shipped to the house so we will see what it looks like when I get home. Picked it up used and cheap so it is sure to be all gunked up and nasty! haha. When I go to the parts store do I buy the gasket for the Elantra or the Veloster or does it matter?

There is a rubber ring seal which stays attached to the intake manifold and seals the TB. It's reusable so no need for a gasket

 

[TyBardy]

This thing is was all gummed up!





Unloaded a can of TB cleaner and got it pretty clean for round one...





Going to break out the dremmel and really buff that BS out this weekend.

 

[RPW00Mirage]

honestly i would just toss it on as-is. looks pretty decent after your cleanup.

 

[Androidbrockville]

Thanks Great job on the photos an description Keep up the good work

 

[JayJay]

I follow all instructions and now in park with the a/c on the rpms goes hi and low continuously. If I turn off the a/c everything is normal. Any suggestions?

 

[RPW00Mirage]

double check for vacuum leaks.
