Tuning i20N Engine & ECU Tuning Discussion

Hello guys! I hope you are doing great!! Today was our first try remapping the car. We did it,we are currently under development and testing it. We want this to be as safe as possible step by step. Tested the car,no ecl light, nothing. First review,better and louder pops and bangs, nice acceleration. Heavy rainy today so we couldnt test it more. Dyno and stuff next week. we are gonna have better results. Thank you.

Any early power figures to report? 😁

We want to see how the car will behave using it normaly or driving it faster with good weather conditions. Maybe something needs to be changed. We want to be sure that the car will work the best out of it, numbers and dyno next week.
Those pops are amazing btw. Just a bit patience. Oh something else,mine has only gpf delete and intake. The file is totally custom. Someone who has more aftermarket parts gonna need further changes. My goal is to be safe and a bit faster than stock map, i dont want to push it to the max.

I think stage 2 will be around that tbh
I am not willing to sucrifice my engine to make a car running in straight lines or to be the fastest in the hood :p A nice healthy remap so some aftermarket parts can run properly like downpipe or something else. Btw the people who have straight pipe exhaust (76mm) it would be unable to run outside the track in N mode without closing the exhaust valve,,too much noise. I felt a nice difference already with gpf delete.

meh, i think you'd be ok, it's just waiting for mod makers to make the parts that will likely need upgrading i.e. hpfp

I would consider getting resonators then like vibrant. 5 year warranty and are very effective.

The fastest one has 500+HP in PR on NOS. but that was the Elantra sport. Oh and yes stock internals. I think LAP3's record was 430 wheel HP

Very exciting!

Did you experiment with the CVVD settings?
 
204 bhp is very underestimated for a 1.6 Turbo engine. The shitty prince engine in the RCZ-R runs 270 bhp from stock vor example. Right the i20N will need 245 or wider semi tires on the front to get good traction and grip in and out of corners. For case some day 300-400 bhp will be possible, in addition with a lot other mods. At the moment I don't want to have some extra power as the suspension is stock.

A LSD would help and yes 245 tires helps alot. Slapped 245 tires on the N-line when I had my Elantra N-line. Speedo was off by like.... 1 mph tho

That's right. I forgot the i20N has one. The Elantra N-line/I30 N-line sedan doesn't.
245's won't go on the i20n alloys either, 235 max and i think there's rubbing on even 235 tyres, i have 225 tyres all round, polyurethane torque mount bush, tuning box and it doesn't hop or spin much off the line anymore, it's managed 5.19s to 60
