2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport Turbo Project Part 1 (Changing the Intercooler)

[@prebaned]

Nice video. As you know by now cutting that crash bar tie severely comprises the design integrity, rigidity and crumple zone effectiveness in a frontal impact. Is it worth it?

[@greythegh0st]

Can’t wait! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Thanks so much

[@AlexGtheDon]

Also, I would not have cut the impact bar. That's no bueno. seriously, reconsider buying an intercooler designed for the car and putting a replacement bar in. If you even get into a front end impact, that bar takes the brunt of the hit.

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Yes man, thanks for the advice. I’m going to build one but I haven’t had any time but that is coming. Mine is already faster that the N. It has 270hp and now I’m going to upgrade the turbo and it will make close to 350hp to the wheel.

[@AlexGtheDon]

If you are FBO and tuned, you will be at about 230-240WHP... with stock turbo. @@PIBRACINGCHANNEL

[@ispianist]

​@@AlexGtheDonWrong should be close to 270 if this one has the chip.

[@AlexGtheDon]

@@ispianist 235WHP translates to about 270-275HP. I am talking about wheel HP bro. With that baby turbo that’s the limit. I know. I am at that limit. To get to 275-280WHP means about 315-320HP and that requires a hybrid turbo or a bigger turbo.

[@jasonkrause9042]

get a catch can, highly rec for blowback into turbo especially if tune love it building my 18 sport now

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Thanks I already installed one.

Will you ever change the grill to mesh? I've seen a lot of Elantra's even the lower trims do it and they look moree aggressive.

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Yes I bought it bit they sent me the wrong one

[@AlexGtheDon]

So you know, you can make it as fast as an Elantra N. I know because I own both and am speaking from experience. In FACT, just yesterday I had my wife race me, and she was in my 2018 ES, and she walked me!

[@alexruiz7426]

What do you have done to the 2018 ES?

[@AlexGtheDon]

@@alexruiz7426 everything but a bigger turbo. Including FBO, e30 tune by SXTH, also a better sub and upgraded Infinity speakers, also the Aeroforce Terminator in a custom pod in the window vent. Also the aluminum paddle shifters. And 2019 Veloster Turbo R-Spec wheels… and I have my 2022 EN too!

[@TedSchoenling]

Don't wreck.... removing that' bar' or as the rest of the world calls it a bumper.. that is designed to absorb impact. is stupid.

[@thefrenchtoast1259]

That and adds to the sturdiness of the car so could cause other parts to flex and break

[@batmantogood]

What type of innercooler is that and where to order it

[@tbssblack5770]

Can you share the link to the intercooler i cant find the same one online

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Sure! Emusa Front Mount intercooler oversize 25"X12"X3", 2.5" Inlet & outlet coresize 18"X12"X3" a.co/d/fmuvdtF

[@Prcussonst]

Do you know what brand of front lip/skirts are on it?

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

I bought a kit on eBay. It is universal but if you search it for the elantra it will give you the one that will fit the car.

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

[@cintrontv777]

Un carrera contra el Tiburon de Alejandro 😄

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Eso viene

[@markbrko]

Did you really just cut the crash bar off? Wtf

[@PIBRACINGCHANNEL]

Yes. We are installing a tubular crash bar.
