Installing a Boost Gauge on my Elantra GT N Line! | OEM+ Fit and Finish

[@skinnycol809]

as a guy with a elantra N, i love seeing people build up these N-lines, seen one the other day and they're just so clean. love the vid man

[@JustinKelly]

Thanks!

[@clay9653]

We need a tune on this thing brother! , I'm right behind you , planning my modifications for my 2020 n line as we speak. Great videos!

[@2tonedangert891]

Good install, I would have like to see the boost gage while driving

[@jonathanlopez442]

Where can you get it? or what is the brand?

[@0520philadelphia]

Where did you get the boost gauge mount

[@Roadsurfer2k11]

Gotta give Ford credit on this one... ex-wifes 97 F150 had a 50 cent piece diameter hole straight for driver floor directly to bay. Just had to pull the floor mat up. Made wiring my KC Hilites a piece of cake 20 years ago

[@Meniodakis]

Hey Justin I managed to go with a speck pro autometer boost gauge

[@Meniodakis]

Ordered a ITG flat panel filter for the stock air box I didn’t bother going with the takeda momentum as I’m still in warranty with Hyundai and don’t wanna have the need to remove it on and off

[@alexandersweeney1724]

Does the distribution block take the spot of putting the t in the bov line

[@JustinKelly]

Explain further? Take the spot as in running through the firewall or in the dash? There is still room for running the line in both places even with the distribution block in place.

[@Thewickedjon]

goddammit justin, everytime I look up how to do something on my elantra gt, you come up :D lol, you are doing god's work sir, thank you,

[@Meniodakis]

Hi Justin Where is the best place to connect the vac/boost line I have a throttle body spacer will this give me the perfect reading if I tap into the throttle body spacer ?

[@JustinKelly]

I believe that would work ok

[@Meniodakis]

Hello Justin we managed to install the boost gauge not sure if I did the wrong thing but my gauge on reads boost and no vac as I was unsure the pressure sensor will fit on the throttle body spacer or if it was a good idea to put it on so we ended up tapping into a existing thread off the right alloy intercooler pipe where the bov sits on

[@JustinKelly]

If its not reading vac (and the gauge is supposed to) then something isnt right. It should read vac at idle (-18psi ish) and go to boost on throttle.

[@Meniodakis]

Yeah so what’s happened where we installed it there’s no vac but I have a spare gauge which uses the same pressure sensor and cable which on reads boost I’m thinking just to swap it over

[@Meniodakis]

Same brand and all

[@Meniodakis]

Do you got Facebook messenger bro lol

[@Meniodakis]

Can send you photos etc

[@jaredjacoby545]

Where did you get the boost gauge pod from

[@JustinKelly]

Came in the bundle. Its Block8Head gauge mount.

[@jaredjacoby545]

@@JustinKelly I couldn’t find it on the website, was it custom how much did you pay

[@JustinKelly]

@@jaredjacoby545 I bought it used like I said in the video. You have to message him to order.

[@jaredjacoby545]

Thanks

[@bigd90909]

Hey man another great video. Any thoughts on buying the i30N/Veloster N gauge cluster and installing?

[@JustinKelly]

That is something that has crossed my mind but I dont have much confidence it'll work 100%. Also the mileage is stored in the gauge cluster so if it doesn't match the ECU then there may be problems at the dealer and such. I would love the RPM lights! You would have a get the I30N one because the Veloster N has a different design.

[@lordshookage]

How did you run the cable from the boost gauge within the vent? Is there a slit where it can go down into the pedals?

[@JustinKelly]

Yes there is a gap all the way around the plastic tubing which ends close to the dash. You will see once the vent is out from the dash. I ran it to the side as it needed to go to the distribution block I added.

[@Meniodakis]

Hi mate does this involve any drilling in the body for then gauge install. And does the gauge wire up to the factory harness ? One thing I don’t wanna mess with ?

[@JustinKelly]

No drilling and it taps into the switch panel next to the driver for illumination. The boost reading comes from the sender in the engine bay which goes through the firewall.

[@Meniodakis]

That’s great to hear the gauge I have it’s a digital gauge instead of vacuum into the cabin runs off a pressure sensor

[@Meniodakis]

Will this void warranty ?

[@JustinKelly]

@@Meniodakis No

[@Meniodakis]

@@JustinKelly happy days then cheers for that appreciate it

[@dheeradjlachman9658]

Hey mate great video again nice Elantra on the background!👌

[@jdttc1]

is there a way to out a mechanical boost controller on this car? or is it an electronic system?

[@JustinKelly]

Couldn't tell you for sure. I have seen people use them though.

[@jdttc1]

@@JustinKelly electric or mechanical?

[@nehalpatel4244]

OBD2 Turbo Gauges much easier to install which also gives you other info as well.

[@JustinKelly]

I didn't want a digital gauge. Also OBDII data isn't always as precise.

[@zacjw2279]

Just seen the vid now, I know I'm a bit late. Everything I've seen points to yes, but would this work on the i30 N Line as well? Thanks

[@JustinKelly]

I would surely think so

[@clay9653]

Justin did you end up doing a tune yet?

[@JustinKelly]

No plans for one at the moment

[@clay9653]

@@JustinKelly right , also there's not a ton out there for us , I have same car but 6 SPD and we can do some re Flash's from sxth and N75 and stuff but I don't think we have pro tunes yet , Hyundai computers ad software are so expensive to get into I've heard that no one is really interested in doing them . Other than tork and sxth and N75 who else do you know offering tunes and parts?, Maybe pm me

[@Rancid_Sanity]

Why do you have the gauge if you you don't have any mods or tune?

[@JustinKelly]

Why do stock cars have a guage stock with no tune?

[@Rancid_Sanity]

@@JustinKelly they only have stock gouges for things that you still need to know without a tune like rpm and mph but why do you need to know the boost if nothing has changed?

[@JustinKelly]

@@Rancid_Sanity Not true. Many stock from factory cars have Boost Gauges. Whether physical or digital.

[@Rancid_Sanity]

My question is still the same and I'm just curious what do you learn or need to know that a boost gauge tells you? See when I change to different map on my tune I can look and see what the boost is doing on the map and how it affects different things but if you don't have the ability to change anything what is the point in knowing it?

[@JustinKelly]

@@Rancid_Sanity It is visual information. It shows if the car is running properly (if you are having EBCS issues, boost leak, or other) and also you can associate boost levels to not only seasonal temperature changes (Yes peak boost changes by 3-4psi from hot summer to cold winter on stock map) but also whatever else you feel like. Paired to a BOV you can hear to can see how everything works as a whole system. If you really care enough why they are installed on stock cars, you should ask all the OEM's that include them too.

[@Meniodakis]

Hi Justin is this legal or a defect ?

[@JustinKelly]

Can you clarify?

[@johnleewins3814]

How much boost does the car run? Would of been nice a video clip of the gauge in action. I assume next mod is a chip for more boost.. reason to have the gauge. Great tutorial nonetheless.

[@JustinKelly]

I will make sure to upload a clip of the gauge working in a coming video. I have seen between 15-17psi of peak boost on this gauge. I see closer to 15psi more than 17psi.

[@kingsteo8711]

Hey I just got a Elantra Gt 2013 a couple days ago and I want to get a front spoiler lip 😭❤️ Do you know where I can get that part ? I’ll appreciate it a lot, I’ve watching your videos about your Elantra Gt, I love the look your car 🥺🚀

[@JustinKelly]

Thanks for the support! All of the I30 N front lips should work for the N Line. You can find those from CSR Racing, Maxton Design, and Flow Designs. I am sure there are others out there but those are what I can think of right now.

[@kingsteo8711]

Justin Kelly thank you so much, I really appreciate you, do you where I can get a new grill like all the way back or they don’t make those for Elantra Gt 2013 😭❤️

[@kingsteo8711]

Justin Kelly Can parts from other cars can the Elantra Gt fit ? I’m trying to modify my car but I can’t really find parts for the Elantra Gt 2013 😭

[@JustinKelly]

@@kingsteo8711 oh I assumed you had an N Line. You'll need to search for I30 GD or I30 mk2 front lips. They are out there.

[@kingsteo8711]

Justin Kelly can you help me out to get the right parts I’ve been looking all day, my ig it’s @kingz_teo

[@JC-de2rd]

U should do coilovers or suspension

[@JustinKelly]

I definitely agree lowering it would make it look much better. I just got so beat up driving my old GT for 3.5 years on lowering springs or coilovers. Maybe down the road... I might do a rear sway bar upgrade here soon.

[@aryaxo]

@@JustinKelly rear swaybar is a must, coilovers will make the swaybar upgrade go even further for higher speed cornering. D2 coilovers have been very comfortable for me.

[@benmulligan6733]

I fitted the Hyundai OEM lowering springs when I purchased my i30 N-Line and they are great. Gives it a nice sporty feel, bit doesn't rattle your teeth out.

[@awesomecomet3577]

Hey Justin, the Gauge looks so clean, like it should've been there from factory! Also the functionality of the vent is pretty cool too! I'm really enjoying the mods you've done so far, and I can't wait for the next one 😎
