i20N Smartstream Engine

probably too early to say as yet. usually Racechip has a few videos on a new model or car. i would guess sometime in the near future you will see something from them.
I'm trying to identify (the other way is to make a visit to local dealer here in Switzerland) if i20N has a mid-silencer which I could remove ... instantly even before delivery

its just the cat, a gpf and then the backbox
Danke! Thank you! So no mid-silencer ... Excellent!
So we go for a free-flow end-silencer when available!Oh I see what you mean, the spray area actually hits the valve itself when it is all the way open, effectively cleaning the topside. Only part that would be more dirty is the port itself
No, it’s the G4FP, which should be the same as the new veloster 1.6t, it’s the new smart stream engines with the CVVD. Easiest way to tell the difference is the facelift engine cover and the actuator sticking out of the valve over transmission side.
So the question is;
This flywheel https://kdmtuners.com/product/aasco-lightweight-flywheel-g4fj/ ... is compatible for the G4FP?
And the pulley kit which is for Veloster 1.6T https://www.nonstoptuning.co/store/p62/2011-2020HyundaiVelosterTurboPulleyKitNST31600K.html is it compatible with i20N?

I wouldn’t count on this. I’d suggest checking the OEM part numbers from the 1.6T Gamma to the 1.6T Smart Sense. If there are matches they’d be few in number and I’d check it very closely.
The problem is; the Smart Sense 1.6T isn’t readily available in the US to make the appropriate comparisons.

Yes it has gotten out of hand a littleI'll let him post his bs, he doesn't know what he's talking about, or he doesn't want to accept the facts. I'll stop because this leads nowhere and it shouldn't be in this thread.
I was looking for someone who had some experience working on Hyundais. I'm a mechanic myself (Honda and Toyota) and I know very well that nothing can substitute hands on experience.
I'm about to order i20N. I spent a lot of time shopping around for a small hot hatch and on paper little Hyundai seems to be the best option. Being a mechanic I have no trust in many modern mechanical solutions. That's why I have one major concern about i20N.
I know from my experience direct injection engines cause problems. Direct injected engines on CHRs were major pain in the butt when I worked for Toyota. Surprisingly, Honda's L15s are completely trouble free. That's why another selling point for i20N was Smartstream engine. I thought it had Dual Fuel Injection to solve the carbon build up issue. However when I took a look under the bonnet, I couldn't find MPi injectors. Only GDi. And I started scratching back of my head, because Hyundai's website's a little bit misleading in this regard. Thanks to you I know I'm not blind. This engine doesn't have Duel Fuel Injection.
Pictures you posted with injector spraying over the valve while opened intrigued me. Is this the first engine that features such an interesting solution? If yes, does it help to solve carbon build up problem? Even if no, could you tell me how Hyundai engines, and cars as whole, hold up over time? Opinions I heard were mixed. But I don't know anyone who worked for Hyundai for a longer period of time. I did few used cars inspections on them and never came across complete shitbox with serious problems.
Kind regards and greetings from Australia!
