The 2019 Hyundai Veloster N not only crackles, snaps, and pops as you shift through the gears, it's also doing something very useful: keeping the turbocharger spooled up. Yes, the Veloster N, when operating in "N" mode, does in fact have an anti-lag system. The ALS works through ignition delay to ensure the turbo maintains boost when you lift off the throttle. The ignition delay allows for combustion to occur partially within the exhaust manifold, which is why you hear pops from the exhaust.
The hot hatch features a 2.0L turbo with up to 275 horsepower (base 250 HP) and 260 lb-ft of torque. The car features an electronically controlled suspension with various damping settings, and with the performance package you get an electronic limited slip differential, a variable induction system, performance summer tires developed specifically with Hyundai, and of course the anti-lag system! Check out the video for all about how it works!

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks for watching everyone and hope you’re having a great day! For anyone interested here’s my full review of the car: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHO5dpuCd89qg7M

[@mad636man]

Engineering Explained can you do a video on whether or not fuel is sent into the cylinder while coasting in gear, off the throttle. And if so, how much fuel? I can’t find a clear, decisive answer. Thanks!! Love the videos.

[@787brx8]

Engineering Explained I made a HHO discovery a couple of days ago. It has a much more efficient use of electricity. Saving fuel for all whom want to try it. The parts needed are two HHO cells wet or dry. Tubing, robust electrical connections, extra car battery is optional, flash arrestor, bubbler If you want to do a video on it? Then let me know, as I live near Preston.

[@dezertraider]

Very very cool(dont know your name) What track was the test drive at? Great job and anyone Shopping for new car or going to school,Most definitely needs to subscribe.Fantastic,,73s

[@josephboutros4735]

Thank you so much for this amazing video been waiting for it

[@Danger_mouse]

As you say at the end, cool that they have done it in a production car with a warranty. Having been involved in rallying, antilag isn't a new concept, but a rally car isn't under a new car warranty and can have a new turbo fitted every event as required. Cool tech for a road car and a brave move by Hyundai.

[@scottb721]

I put my auto in N mode but it kind of just stands still

[@AdriaCalais]

Scott Brownlie sadly that took me a second.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Scott Brownlie shoulda bought a manual! ;)

[@VeilStar]

nice one

[@scottb721]

The paddles on my 3.0R-B Liberty do me well enough :-)

[@trickylifts]

Check the VTEC solenoid.

[@gazorpazorp9798]

Keeping the turbo spooled AND cool noises? Sign me up!

[@MARV246810]

alex zoidberg True, but remember they have a really long warranty... so they got to make it last for a while.

[@safetytfh]

This antilag system sounds a lot less aggressive than others, I'm sure the engineers took extra wear into account. Doesn't quite sound like gunfire like aftermarket setups do

[@user-hw2bb9jy5l]

Fernde09 this also has to do this it being a production vehicle and having to pass epa regulations. Most vehicles that have an anti lag system installed are most likely decatted with maybe a secondary cat based on emissions in their area.

[@mattiadallapozza5619]

alex zoidberg engineers had surely been concerned with the material selection for manifold, turbine housing and wheel, and the degrees after TDC are not the same as what heavy motorsport applications use to...so I'll be fine with this 😉

[@mattiadallapozza5619]

T Wellbrook and so retarded ignition timing that will be impossibile to even think to perform an emission test, without any doubt!

[@chrisfix]

That is pretty awesome Hyundai is catering to car enthusiasts even at the potential longevity/reliability issues from the antilag.

[@miguelmca]

ChrisFix Hi Chris nice to see you here! :)

[@boomwhites7]

What additional stress is this on the engine? Pistons, pins, rods, bearings?

[@brockduffy8729]

Will Whiteside I wouldn't say too much wear on the internal of the engine since it's designed for combustion on the downstroke of the piston, but for sure your stressing the exhaust and turbo because a bit of the combustion is happening outside the cylinders.

[@brockduffy8729]

Will Whiteside basically just a more violent way to keep the turbo spoiled while off throttle, so the wear will be turbo, and probably the cat, not so much the engine its self.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

Brock Duffy good thinking here from everybody. I'd like to add that when you let off the gas exhaust normally turns extremely lean. That's actually harder on a catalytic converter rather than easier. I think that this, if not to extreme could actually protect the catalytic converter from these lean times. I agree it pushes the turbo more, but hey, when you ask for that mode to be on you don't want the turbo spooled down. 👍

[@aishwaryagaidhane]

Liked for the exhaust animation in the thumbnail and the bang bang noises straight away in the video. Very informative as usual.

[@CarsAndZebras]

He knows what it takes to get them likes.

[@mUnchaMaddNesS]

Marketed as sound enhancer to become legal in numerous countries (only know about Australia as I live here) where antilag is an instant defect notice

[@12onin_Gypsy]

I was wondering if it was legal here lol

[@calorus]

It's easy to turn off - but a manufacturer can't really use that trick.

[@mUnchaMaddNesS]

TrumpCat ECUs like the Link G4+ usually have a toggle feature for it, it’s illegal not because of its mechanics but rather (in Australia being in its current nanny state) seen as a public nuisance and hoon-encouraging

[@avrilcadabra]

I don't recall seeing anti-lag mentioned in vicroads rules or vics epa laws. As long as it's under 90bd (lol) and uses the stock ecu and map and has a cat it should be legal.

[@mUnchaMaddNesS]

Avrilcadabra A guy I know who had an antilag system (with a Link ecu) fitted professionally on his 03 STi had his car marked a as ‘vehicle of interest’ by WA police and ended up up parting his whole car out because he would get pulled over everytime they saw him on the road.

[@francisj4058]

Hyundai doing big things!

[@dj_paultuk7052]

No, just copying what other manufacturers have been doing for years.

[@francisj4058]

Paul Taylor alot of manufacturers copy wtf you on about?

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Spitfire, thought it was pretty clear. They just copied what other manufacturers have been doing for years. My 1988 Renault Alpine GTA V6 Turbo had antilag between shifts. The Merc A45 has had it since 2012. And so on...... Nothing new.

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Sloonz, So your Chevy has a V6 Turbo with Anti-lag ?, unlikely story.............

[@drsnowmon]

+Paul Taylor By your definition Europeans are always copying the US since most inventions come from the US

[@akacurmurdar1]

Somehow since i've become a car guy, hyundai has gone from the laughingstock of the automotive world to being a respected brand. What a time to be alive.

[@jesusangeles152]

Ciprian Dinu I feel like ever since the Genesis coupe they've been picking up their slack, they've definitely become a better company and right now I see that making better and better cars. Hopefully they can keep this up.

[@truantray]

It helps that US makers are focusing on trucks and SUVs for the fatass market.

[@nielsonderbeke8507]

I was in China around New year 2012 when I first saw the Hyundai i40, which I think looks stunning. I remember thinking "wait, what? Since when did Hyundai hire an exterior designer?".

[@blackjames4959]

I am so glad I found your channel. You have such a gift for explaining topics in way I (non-engineer) can actually understand. Keep up the great videos mate. Greetings from South Africa.

[@borjakankkunen]

I am so glad you explained this Jason! A lot of people upload crap to KZbin with misleading titles and descriptions regarding to supposed anti lag sounds from cars which turns out it is usually just some pops from the exaust. Besides, I consider this as a big and necessary step forward in road performance cars, no manufacturer did this before, although it has been used in rally cars since the late 80s... Many people out there saying turbo lag is nice... I can tell none of them have ever felt the difference between antilag activated and deactivated. Jesus Christ... GrA Evo's and Imprezas run damn fast with that thing!!! And they sound wonderful!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Very informative video, as always! This ALS seems like a pretty neat feature in the new Veloster N! I can't wait to get my hands on one to review!

[@dawsonjohannes613]

I am just so thrilled every time I see you post a video. Thank you for always having such great content, and being enthusiastic about the affordable cars marketed towards enthusiasts.

[@junsikmin2014]

Wow! Great information!! No one here in Korea ever brought this up even at Namyang Proving Ground when I was invited to experience the pre production sample back in May. Now I see why this thing always felt like fully spooled up!!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Yeah, doesn’t sound like they’re actively marketing it; they only said that it has the feature when I asked Biermann.

[@sonydominates]

With all that extra money put into it, you'd think it'd be worth mentioning.

[@junsikmin2014]

sonydominates Especially true for the mfrs like Hyundai. Maybe this would be too technical for general public.

[@ManuJohn380]

Junsik Min they are not mentioning the anti lag system, because in some contries the ALS can be seen as bad for emissions.

[@junsikmin2014]

Manu j I am actually curious if the system can sustain the continuous beating of retarded ignition. I heard it would fry the catalytic converter and so on...

[@starvalkyrie]

Well it's like they've always said. If you want a production hot hatch with anti-lag you buy a Hyundai.

[@kcwalkman]

Great video Jason! Your videos are inspiring and allows me the opportunity to research the content and actually learn more about how vehicles work. Thank you.

[@amaybhatnagar2991]

Man that’s great. Kinda feeling of race cars with enhanced technology. Your videos are very informative. Cheers

[@EngineeringExplained]

[@waydigga1982]

Great breakdown as always Jason!

[@MrNicoe36cabrio]

Another great explanation video Jason.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks!

[@b0bsaget007]

My car has a different anti-lag system, called no-lift shifting (NLS). Basically, when you're at 100% throttle and the engine is revving high enough, you can change gears while holding the throttle pedal down and the ECM will rapidly blip the throttle to maintain engine and turbo speed, so that once you're in the next gear the turbo is already at max boost, thus there is no lag.

[@sfludd]

Thanks once again, for a simple explanation. Made it clear. 👍😎 It's cool to see the different ways automakers are innovating these days.

M was for people with bucket loads of money. N is for enthusiasts. Hyundai has come up with a wholesome package. My Diesel Hyundai had Variable Geometry Turbo and that was the early stages of Anti Lag turbo system. ThanQ for explaining it so well.

[@rayaltman3258]

Great job Jason I really like you channel!

[@EvanMoon]

Basically they watched engineering explained And that’s how they figured out anti-lag

[@CarsAndZebras]

[@shumsghost]

The ALS on my N works VERY WELL, holds boost really well through shifts and it PULLS!

[@CarswithNash]

Very nice explanation & very useful tech!

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

ALS was also in DSMLink-equipped 2nd generation Diamond Star Motors vehicles. Turbo spooling at launch for larger turbos was the purpose. Quite bangy and smoky fun.

[@kb9oak749]

When I was able to ride and had carbureted motorcycles, we would shut off the ignition, wack the the throttle, and then flip the ignition back on again. This while rolling 30-40 mph in town. When the ignition is turned back on, all the unburned fuel that was hangin out in the exhaust goes boom! rather loudly. The noise on this video brought back memories.

[@spiritreapr]

Hyundai going full on driver's car is something we need more of in the industry. Some established marques could really take lessons from them

[@5Genjoyer]

I'm going to be so tempted to get the Veloster N once I'm done paying off my s2k.

[@chasehan130]

This is just downright cool. Props to Hyundai for that. I would be curious about the cooling system within the turbo in regards to how/if it controls the heat from burning exhaust gases with the antilag. I can see potential longevity issues with turbo cooling. Awesome nonetheless.

[@Reddot_AUTO]

What a great video and Hyundai N performance!!! But, Veloster N cars are now stuck in Ulsan plant. I'm waiting for it since June 23th. There is something problem with mass-production quality.

[@matthewkrahn3]

Cobalt SS had this back in 08. "No Lift Shift". Full throttle, clutch and shift. Let's off a real quick pop or two. Makes a noticeable difference.

[@vags7390]

Great video very informative. What are the disadvantages of this anti-lag system?

[@swat1229]

I’m really impressed with your driving at the Nurburgring. I’m more impressed they can pass an emissions test with this. Great day for car lovers.

[@destruxxx]

They test in the default mode the car starts with, which is normal mode. They're not even allowed use ECO mode to boost the fuel economy scores because it's not the default on startup.

[@JoshuaRando]

more often I understand your videos now.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

I have a N. What a bad ass car. I wish u spoke on how an E-Diff works too. It pulls out it corners not like an AWD but not like any FWD I’ve driven before. It’s very neutral.. just hooks up and goes

[@Bare_Essence]

My God, I've learned so much here!

[@pickipanfil6042]

How does Hyundai address the heat generated by the constant spooling of the turbo? Inject more fuel? Any special engine cooling features? Thanks Jason for your excellent work !

[@HugoKou1]

That's awesome. I'm curious about if others do similar things. You can hear the crackles while lift throttle on many VAG cars. Both NA and Turbo engines. I'm looking for how those exhaust crackles from.

[@bran192]

What about the performance blow off valves? Do they help to keep turbo pressure as well or just for noise? Thanks for the video!

[@mrdudeman29]

[@electronicsNmore]

The engine sounds really good, outside of the "missing/popping" exhaust sound which is apparently normal.

Super cool tech

[@hugosepulveda8932]

[@gsppuffer]

dam that genisis looked badass

[@Zednix]

I wish my GTI sounded as good ast the N30 does. Once Hyundai brings the N version of the Elantra over I will be contemplating a change in car. It's exciting to see the competition getting better.

[@unclebenny12]

It's interesting that they are not including this in their marketing campaigns. I'm also curious to see how this system would affect the durability of components like the turbo and catalytic converter. I would assume they took the warranty period into consideration while designing the ALS.

[@-l_gavin_l-]

That's pretty neat!

[@ricergarage3092]

I agree this is pretty cool for Hyundai, als, pops and crackles, badass. My n/a pos grand am pops and crackles quite a lot when warmed up, any explanation on that??

[@marian-gabriel9518]

It happens mainly in N-mode because by default N-mode is all setting put in Performance/Race. But if you push the checkered flag button twice, you go into custom mode where you can set things up as you wish. For example, I have mine (the i30N Performance, not the Veloster, as I'm from Europe) set to Custom with the dampers on soft for normal roads, rather than stiff for track. as it would be in N mode, engine in Sport+ as in N mode (there is Normal, Sport, Sport+), LSD in Sport, TC in Normal, etc. So if you get this and use Custom mode with it, and have it set up to use Engine in Sport+, while it does sound nicer and actually give you anti-lag (sweet :D) you don't want to use it everyday going to get groceries if you want your car to last for some time, plus you won't be that douche that annoys everyone in the neighborhood. You can put the Engine in Sport and have a bit of the sound (it's a bit less than in Sport+ but it still pops and bangs) and actually retain a bit of the turbo's life/durability. Also it's a good idea to leave the car on and idling to cool it's oil since it passes through the turbo to cool it, especially after riding it hard for some time and especially if you use N or Custom with Engine turned up. Safe driving everyone!

[@wasenpa]

You've been to N-Ring? Gz!

[@TobiasOliveira685]

Allowing this post combustion with opened exhausting valve don't compromise the exhausting system? Implying in faster wearing?

[@timknitschky6876]

You were on the Nordschleife! Awesome!

[@petergregory5286]

Hi, does the delayed ignition have any detrimental effect on the exhaust valve seats? Regards.

[@godzillagojira7616]

This is cool, but was wondering on the reliability. I know they have a great warranty, but did they thicken the exhaust side? And would the heat buildup causing some mess around it?

[@benthecaptain7419]

I just had a split pipe off the back off the Turbo in my RB engined Nissan. No turbulence on the turbine side dragging down the turbo rpm so no need to respool every shift. This seems pretty cool but much more complex.

[@christopherhurtle7167]

I have the 2016 r spec im planning on trying to trade up soon.... sweet car i love mine

[@AeternWarrior25]

Is this also true for i30 n? Nice video.

[@trenauldo]

So what engineering has to take place for the components that have to contend with that high pressure escaping from the cylinder? The potential weakest link seems to be the valve, since it's small and a moving part. Just curious if they address that with design or materials or both.

[@olivierleduc7305]

is the bypass valve only pneumatically controled or they put a solenoid to keep the boost up during antilag /closed throttle scenario?

[@jimchapman3185]

So is there any performance advantage to adding an Aftermarket Blow Off Valve to the Hyundai N system or is it just a noise maker? Any additional suggestions how I can get more out of the Turbo system of the N? Thank you for your time JIm

[@coupe6339]

Love This brand

[@cadewhite8670]

This sounds really cool and is a good solution. I am worried about longevity of the parts. All that heat and pressure going through the manifold and valve. If I bought this car I would be legitimately worried about those parts wearing down and breaking quickly. Obviously after the warranty. What is your experience with Hyundai's part longevity? Is this system nothing to worry about or would I start have problems at long milage?

[@EngineeringExplained]

You don’t have to use it, there are other modes if you’re worried about longevity. But engineers think about these things when they design it, and 100k is a long warranty.

[@raZerAndrey]

The same thing I have in my Cooper s r61. When you are putting it in the sport mode it's start to pop and you can feel that the turbo keeps spooling much longer.

[@ArmanAm]

How does the cat hold up though, that hot air/fuel/oil mixture won't be easy... Do you know from which year they enabled it? I think the cat is the first thing that will start to give up

[@Driftingkalamari]

Is there a noticeable difference? Because I have a 2010 MINI Cooper S. It now has stage 2 tune and sounds just like that. Any way to be sure if it’s ALS or just noise? Thanks and great videos!

[@jonkadela878]

I would be curious to see how they avoid or have to deal with burned valves.

[@JayzBeerz]

Please do a video on the 2019 Sonata Limited 2.0T. There is not one video on youtube highlighting the driving and turbo. Thanks in advance.

[@RecreationAutomotiveGarage]

Curious to see if you installed boost gauge and see if the turbo is actually keeping the boost. Or do data log

[@almighty151986]

The only other car I can think of that was supposed to release with anti-lag was the Prodrive P2 that was released 10 years ago but it wasn't some secret anti lag mode as it was a much flaunted feature of it, shame it never got released.
