0-60 Testing on the Elantra N and Adding More Powerflex Bushings (It Keeps Getting Better!)

[@ae86fiend]

I've had these bushings for over a month. It surprised the hell out of me on how something so cheap enhanced my driving experience. My Forte takes off harder off the line and pulls harder in between shifts. I have a 6 speed manual.

[@N-Krazy1976]

Finally got the email yesterday that the dealership has received my Vin#. 2023 Performance Blue DCT. Should see it by end of November.

[@ENtense]

Let’s goooooo 🙌🏻

[@frankmanson3]

That’s exciting man! I got super lucky and after calling to try and test drive one for 1.5 years, I got a notice from work that I would be losing my work vehicle, so I decided to call the local Hyundai dealership and sure enough they had the DCT brand new 2023 sitting on their lot. Got it for MSRP and love the thing. Serendipity at its finest 🏎️

[@VanillaWahlberg]

Taking off almost a half second is amazing! My '17 ES 100% without a doubt launches much better with upgraded VN mounts and the SuperPro RMM bushing. It also isn't so sloppy when you go on and off throttle in the 6MT. I love it. You can quite literally hear the difference on hard launches in the EN though, haha. No more engine smacking around.

[@zm2663]

I just bought these a couple of days ago and had no idea how install it 😅. Watched this vid today and installed it with no issues, keep up the good work

Great video, I've already done a RMM by another company, that made a huge difference. I'll definitely add these to the package as well.

Brandon again thank you taking the time to make these vids. The power flex bushing are on the way, but I now am going to call them back and order these other parts! 😂😂

[@LeftenantMalachi]

I love my powerflex front engine bushing. Paired with my SXTH rear engine mount I get no wheel hop at all, even in cold weather. Try launching at 3500rpm next time and you may get even better times! You got a lot of grip so you may push it harder from a dig.

[@ENtense]

I reallllly wanted to up the rpm lol. But for the sake of proper testing and comparison I kept it at 3200. We’ll definitely improve more with changing things up in the future 💪🏻

Can confirm they all got the Elantra N-line. Also, id suggest getting the black (race) transmission bushing. It added no vibrations and it made a noticable difference and I love it?

[@ruinino1593]

loving the videosmate..but honest question what you think of the new Type R?...im thinking heavily of an Elantra N (or 130N from where i come from) and/ or the new Type R when it comes out..all my research is leading me to the Elantra N tbh as its more value for the money..🤔

Thanks...just ordered both 👍🏽

[@ENtense]

Awesome!!

[@klasseact6663]

Brandon...THANKS for posting this, real world test and numbers! I have no idea how to work the timer though, any suggestions?

[@ENtense]

When you’re in the N screen, click on lap timer. Then on the top change it to acceleration. When the requirements are met, the ready button will highlight and allow for you to press it, and you’re good to go 👍🏻

[@klasseact6663]

@@ENtense thank you Brandon😇

[@VitalJoe]

Fitted up the same setup to my Manual Elantra N and no more wheel hop but now it’s wild wheel spin! I also fitted up the black race spec upper engine mount for comparison to yellow and a little more NVH. I think tolerable but the yellow upper is basically no extra NVH. I didn’t see any more benefit with black as wheelhop was gone with the purple/yellow upper combo

[@matthewkennedy-smith991]

Agreed one of the first things to do to any on the 2.0 N cars. I just did the motor mounts from power flex. Under power and even just normal daily driving the car feels so much better. Wheel hop on the Kona N was terrible. It’s non existent now. The dct even feels smoother in everyday use.

[@r.j.parker3734]

These are amazing!! I am going to buy all of these and get them installed right away in my N when it arrives. Are there any other mods that you recommend for eliminating any wheel hop?

[@scubarubanzaii]

Almost every single high torque FWD car just needs rear lower motor mount stiffening (plus the other mounts to make it completely stable).

[@frankmanson3]

Love this! It’s not even on a really good road, so imagine it on a drag strip

[@roto6500]

When I do my launch control I can't get the automatic timer to work. It would be nice to get some values before I make changes

[@VitalJoe]

Apparently the 2024 Elantra N with facelift has firmer engine mounts. From factory.. there is a video on KZbin

[@roger3958]

Do you or have you tuned or chipped your car? Which is better? A tune or chip. I'm a civic guy so they don't seem to have chips, but a tune woke my car UP!

[@arthurmroyce]

I have their RMM bushings on already. I just ordered some Rally Armor mud flaps so I better wait a bit on these. I have been thinking about the top motor mount bushing and the side trans bushing. Thanks for the video as I was on the fence regarding the improvement from these.

[@ENtense]

Affordable and easy to install. It’s the little things like this that make a difference in my opinion. Definitely recommend when you decide to do so 👌🏻

[@robertyoung3111]

Did you use the purple or yellow bushing?

[@arthurmroyce]

@@robertyoung3111 I used the yellow bushings and they worked fine. In retrospect the purple should also be fine. I added the top mount and noted a nice improvement.

[@shortroundChris]

Hey broseff, the upper engine bushing came with a washer, you didn't use it? I'm not even sure where it should be because it doesn't even fit with the black inner piece

[@Nana85shi]

What if i put the upper mount and drove it a bit before putting the lower mount? Would that put stress on anything? Kinda wanna know how each one feels instead of putting everything together at once

[@timothyhaut1590]

Do any of the said upgrades void any of your warranties?

[@bnb1639]

Hey Brandon. Was it hard to take out the wheel well bolts for you? I tried with an impact battery powered and it did not budge at all.

[@ENtense]

The one for the trans mount insert? I’m pretty sure those were really easy.

[@ENtense]

Wait hang on, I looked back at the footage and I did use air tools to remove them. So they are likely on there pretty tight. Battery powered might not be enough power.

[@EN_autoblog]

Thanks. I KZbin and they say to use heat gun or torch to budge the screw because I assumed there were loctite on it, so I just warmed up my engine to a hot enough temperature and voila it worked. I got all three installed now. I love it. More responsive, planted and jerky, although there is a little vibration like you mentioned. It don't bother me though. Going to do some test runs lol. Thank you so much for your videos. It helped me a lot. No more wheel hop 😊

Just wanted to give you an update. My bumper that I’ve been waiting for Five weeks now, has still not arrived, but I’m being told by the dealership it will be arriving “soon.” During this time, they still have not given me a loaner car, and getting around these last few weeks have been very challenging.

Do you use the stock oil filter? If you take it to a shop, they make use a cheap one without an anti-drainback valve or it could be low on trans fluid.
