- Thread starter TarmoT
- Start date
Most of my FB followers have seen these photos I made yesterday but I will add some of those here too:
Yes, also on public roads but it is not a 100% track car. It is something Im using on weekends and track days.
On 29.06.2019 there will be a first Time Attack event of season for me.
First Time Attack event behind my back...
First impressions - car is good, well balanced and has no understeer or oversteer at all. Front end still bends littlebit too much but Whiteline front ARB should fix it.
During whole day car suffer under boost leak and I wasn´t able to fix problem on spot, so I started my day by having 0.8bar of boost and finished by having no boost at all.
At home I removed my intake, heatshield and discover what caused that problem:
Plastic L-shape reducer was broken and vacuum hose wasn´t connected to BOV at all
So small problem and I have no idea why I didn´t check it on spot.
Here are some photos another local N owner made:

What was the outsise air temp and your oil temp?
Did you notice a power reduction on high oil temps?
Had a few laps on Nordschleife last WE at 30°C outside air temp and the oil was up to 125-130°C after every lap what forces me to do a short cool down trip after every lap. But the oil was little under 100°C after less then 5 minutes so i guess it is ok.
But i think he could need an additional oil cooler.

Outside air temp was 34-degrees and oil temp was between 110 and 120-degrees. I never feeled power loss during track sessions but we have very SHORT sessions. What kind of oil you are using?
omg, your car looks stunning, best N so far
missing some 18+ emojis to express my feelings

Stock hyundai oil, had the fist oil change in february.
So i assume you're using a different oil then?
And what's a short session? One lap on NOS is 8-9 minutes what i consider as very short
Do not use that Shell and if you are using your car also on track, change oil afer each 5000km-s.
Out track sessions are 1 warmup lap, 5-minutes of hot laps + one cooling down lap. Our tracks are short (45-sec per lap).
I´m using Millers CFS 0W30 NT+ oil and I have no problems at all.
I can show you how looks compressor shaft of 18 000km driven turbocharger (car has been running on Shell oil and oil was changed on 15 000km):

Only a question, whats wrong with the shell oil, and do you mean dont use it for track use, or generally
Look those pictures I added here - it is the result of bad oli (extreme temperatures inside of turbocharger). And that car where I got that turbocharger, was not used on track.
For street you can use every single oil but if you will push your car to extreme conditions, you must use better oil than universal mass product.
0W30 spec cheap oil (Shell Helix oil Hyundai is using inside of production cars engine) is ok for non-performance engines where oil temp is not rising close to or even over 100-degrees. But tuned up 2.0t-gdi engine needs better oil what will not turn to water (will not loose its lubricating effect) after 85-degrees or oil with different spec like 5w30 or 5W40.

After last track event I made decision to upgrade my anti-roll-bars because I was satisfied with rear end but front end was bending thru still too much with stock ARB.
So I put down the order from Whiteline and went to the following setup:
I also made order from Forge:
And received some gaskets for turbo raplacement (new hot side studs and nuts are still not delivered):
We also removed resonator from my exhaust and now it sounds like it should - like popcorn machine
Next Time Attack event will be on this Saturday
Stay tuned
