What did you do to your N today ?

My son punctured the front tire. Towed to a garage.


Driving a Kia Picanto rental now. It has a 1 litre petrol engine with 67PS...NOT a pocket rocket to be frank :rolleyes:.

Nice built for a small car, but driving experience is very low and meh compared to the i30N.

Not good. It’s weird, when I last had a courtesy car, maybe 3 months ago, I found myself trying to get the very BEST mpg out of it. It was a strange fetish for a day or 2!!

It was a tiny Suzuki something or other.....

Forgot to post this the other day because I was so excited to test everything out. I installed the Forge short shifter and turbo inlet delete. Overall the car feels great and sounds even better. I’m logging on average intake temps 10-15° warmer than ambient even without the heat shield ! And I notice at highway speeds I’m averaging about 10-12° over ambient. The temps do skyrocket when sitting in traffic which is to be expected but quickly go down once I start moving again. Overall I think the intake and delete are a great buy ! As well as the short shifter. Shifts are nice and crisp and quite a bit shorter than stock. Also I finally rolled 6k miles! It just took me 10months to do so lol.
 
Finally got around to installing my oil cooler. I was delayed by a long trip, and then having the bumper replaced (damn re-tread tires!).
I decided to go with the thermostatic kit from mishimoto, and settled on drilled holes in the "fake" vent for now- I may take that piece out and properly dremel it out

Today I hit 1,111 miles, gave it a wash and added some MightyCarMod stickers. Unfortunately, the middle sticker didn't quite transfer all onto the film you stick to the car but it's not very noticeable.

Installed the Forge Short and Side Shifter as well as the Solid Transmission Bushings by Boomba. (And yes, I installed the 3 bolts that connect to the linkages.:pI took this picture when I was testing the shift throw)Before, the shifts were sloppy. Now, the shifts are very precise. Definitely worth swapping them out.

Was playing around tonight on my way home and now that the weathers been dipping into the 30s at night I was able to hit 20psi on map 2. Even if it was only for a second I’m pretty proud of this and she def feels like a whole different animal A188946C-E03C-452E-8EF3-EF91DACA303A.png

You using a JB4 or something? I am still unsure what route to take when it comes to tuning. Do I go for a tuning box like DTUK/DTE/Remus/TDI or perhaps a JB4, or a full blown custom map (with loss of warranty)... I mean I don't know how reliable these engines will be, otherwise I would of mapped it the week I got it lol

I’m running jb4 and colder plugs map 2 for a little while now. No issues so far and don’t really expect any. She feels like a whole different animal and my logs look pretty decent. And the benefit of the plug and play boxes is you can pull it out and there’s no trace Incase you run into a warranty issue. 10/10 would recommend

What benefit would a JB4 provide over a tuning box such as DTUK (other than logging) ? I know it's pretty popular with the N54/55 x35i cars, not heard much about it for the i30N.

I’m not too familiar with the DTUK. I know they’re more popular in your neck of the woods. But I didn’t even consider them as an option just because I like the fact you can log pulls, the smartphone support and the ability to make custom maps for the car and quite a few of the VN owners from the states were already running it with great results. As well as the whole n54tech forum full of people who swear by it. I’m sure if you bought one it would be a direct fit for the i30N. But you may wanna ask around a bit more and see if their are users utilizing it before you go wasting your money.

You'll probably just have to wait till spring to really use the lower gears, but switching to the normal esc at those times might save your front tires a little bit.
