No trimming required with the new design. It will be available shortly.:)
Hey RVN Are you still going to do test fitting and everything? Or did you already do that and get the final production version? Any info on the release time frame?
 
Seem like they just removed the front air funnel thing that is on their original for the i30N. Do you know if that will be added back in the final production?

To answer your question; It was omitted and for this installation. I doubt it will be added back to the VN FMIC production. However, a final decision hasn't been made as of this date. This will be up to the final install, photos and additional information I'll provide to Forge Motorsport. :)

It may enter into the discussion at some point but it's not something that is actually needed, based upon the VN's front inlet design.

I’m interested in the 5 back grilles for the Veloster N :) also where did you get your tow strap?
 
Tow Strap & Pins Breck's Garage in South Korea;


These ^ are made specifically for the VN.


He has another one like I've got that says, "N-Performance" but he's out of them at the moment. he'll have them back in stock soon. Give him a shout, nice gent!! :)

 
Upgraded throttle body arrived from MaxBore. :D It was enlarged from 60mm - 64mm. New larger butterfly, TB shaft machining with low profile screws and matching gasket.

Also, a bored throttle Boomba throttle spacer to match.
What improvements do you get with this mod? HP, are you supposed to have done power bank testing?

A bored or larger throttle body delivers air at a higher rate than a stock throttle body. It will boost overall horsepower & torque from 5 to 10% over the OEM unit. Allowing for, quicker throttle response and acceleration.

I've done this along with adding TB and intake phenolic spacers on every car or motorcycle I've owned. It's an inexpensive way to gain both hp and torque, along with the upgraded intake manifold, downpipe and aftermarket exhaust.

There's no requirement to tune the ECU for this particular upgrade. The stock OEM ECU will adapt with in the current OEM parameters, (A/F tables and maps).

However, proper ECU tuning will always enhance and provide optimal gains with all modifications.:)

I don't know at the moment. Haven't dynoed the car since it was stock. When I'm finish the upgrades, I'll tune and compare the dyno results. As a guess, somewhere around 285-290 whp give or take.

I'm not in a hurry. There's always plenty of time and I enjoy the work. I tend to be a bit more meticulous with such things. It comes from years of working on; reciprocating & jet aircraft, racing motorcycles and the cars I've owned.

I don't short cut anything. It will look and run correctly or I simply won't do it. There's a pattern to what I'm attempting to accomplish.:)

I started out with a plan and I'm sticking to it, as I've done before. These plans haven't failed me yet and keep each stage organized as well as moving forward. :)

aFe received and online. For those wondering if you can join the Forge Motorsports Turbo Inlet Pipe to the aFe Takeda intake, it will take a 3" into 3" ID 90 degree Silicone Elbow :D

Time for a comparison and see which one I like the best. ;) :D
Hey have you tried fitting the forge Motorsport turbo inlet pipe to the aFe takeda intake with one of these Silicone pipes? Or has anyone tried it?
 
LMAO! :p Got a ton of PM's and questions this morning. I've been trying to answer and get thru them.:D

Thank for asking! Not yet, I'm waiting on the 3"x 3", 4 ply, 90 right now. Soon as I get the 90, I'll let you know. :)

Was just watching a video of the intercooler install and I just noticed without the air guide the slot for relocating the sensor is no longer there as well. Hope you mention that since I recall the current sensor location bracket needs to be removed and relocated to the intercooler (current version). Also ready to buy Forge intercooler as well, just waiting to see if I want to get the current version (take advantage of the free shipping) or wait for the updated version

Almost done with the install. :)

I had to answer a ton of PM's this morning which reset my priorities. Members are friends and I like to answer their questions promptly and I try to accommodate as quickly as possible. Might save some aggravation or frustration for them. It also gives me a break to either rethink or readjust my approach on the install.:)

I'm never in a hurry with my install or allow frustration or aggravation to ruin a good install. Rather walk away and take a breather. So, answering questions from friends and forum members takes priority.
