how is it? i got mine 3 weeks ago and love it!

[@YegaSRT]

@@Toastfrenzy3 great fun, massive difference from driving around in a 2.5 tonne SUV. Feel much more confident in it going around corners and overtaking seeing as it's so small. Had a weird issue couple times with all the dash lights coming on but it's stopped and I think it was related to the main fuse connector. You'll have fun figuring out the modes to drive in, I only use Eco and Custom which is mostly Sport and then N mode when I'm proper giving it 😎

[@R19Robbin]

Love those Hyundai N's 🔥🔥

[@flurpoid]

The N lineup is really some excellent vehicles, do wish we got the i20 and i30 in the US. Can't recall if you've driven a Stinger before, but would like to see one eventually regardless.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

those arent as hard core as the N models, and they're all larger. the veloster is small ish but discontinued. I also think they look dumb but to each their own @@PeePee-xw7jj

[@flurpoid]

​@@PeePee-xw7jjWe did get the i30 in form of the Elantra GT, but no N model. And unfortunately they only sold the Elantra GT with the wet clutch DCT for like one year in the US so they're pretty rare.

@@lukemothug I didn't even notice that. That's a lot of new cars (or slightly used).

Very good review. It is better if you're along and just review it yourself! TOP TIER!

[@wdbaudio]

Fantastic video as ever Misha! Just out of curiosity, do you have any experience with the Kia Proceed GT? That was sort of the i20N's spiritual predecessor because it shares a similar engine and stock power figure and similar brakes I think. The rest of the Proceed is probably more similar to an older i30 in size and platform though.

I like the right “low comsuption” gear icon, always on 6th gear 😂😂😂

[@DKSON1337]

I thought the car was 350nm but on the screen it shows no more than 290. Does the screen not read properly or is the tune not working or what's happening? Other than that they seem like very fun little cars. I had a run in with one last week with my corsa opc and I think both of us were stock but that thing was way more lively than the corsa, maybe cuz it's newer and stuff but definitely a cool car.

[@purplehazeffc]

The torque reading is just what is coming out of the ECU. The ECU doesn't see what the Racechip is doing.

[@Frank-vj2of]

Pity that the Nm display is useless now, it never showed the real 350 Nm.

[@martinchapman2168]

It's so unfortunate, that there is no real remap. I would never put such a box in my I20N. Still great video🎉

[@claudiadavies5110]

The i20n is a true peach, beautifully put together ❤

[@AIRDRAC]

Looks like it did some slight lowering of the boost fairly early on to deal with temperatures? Start of lap had 1.1-1.3 bar of pressure, but after about quarter of a lap it went down to 0.9-1.0 bar? Great lap regardless!

[@OnTrackDetailing]

Yes it appears to be some protection factors (boost reduction) based on water temp, oil temp and EGT - Unfortunately like many "performance" hatches these days it seems unable to keep cool.

[@melaniezimmermann-jv7th]

Don't forget the racechip tuning. 😉​@@OnTrackDetailing

[@overlordKrunK]

i20n has an overboost function so it could be that too. Another note - I think the racechip has the car reading lower toque and boost than what it actually is. The stock N should be getting 275Nm of torque and 304Nm in overboost.

[@michapawowski6188]

@@overlordKrunK racechip cheat on boost sensor, so ECU get lower boost that really is. also torque is lowered as long as boost is fake.

Until 100 it's pretty much the same, but inbetween 100 and 200, this i20 N is faster....damn that 1,6 litre Inline4 turbo with stock 204 HP is good....but this, this upgrade truly makes it a small racing car.

[@RobVee.]

says he doesnt have to heel and toe, proceeds to heel and toe first downshift, lol. Programmed well!

[@ShotByAScot]

2.5 years with mine and still finding excuses to take it out daily. Makes you smile even at the speed limit! And it hasn’t put a foot wrong to date. Amazing little car. One of the best hot hatches ever made.

[@Fab84NL]

Nice little pocket rocket but really needs some more mods. Oil cooler / suspension and some nice brakes. Beginning of the lap the Max torque was 280nm and the 2nd half “only” 250nm max

[@eincutr]

Might be wrong but I dont think torque numbers are adapted to the chip tuning in the infotainment so the readings might be off.

[@Nitroat-xo4tj]

​​@@eincutryes, thats true.. in my car it shows the same numbers like before the tuning. it cant adapt to new stats!

[@Fab84NL]

@@eincutr most of the tuners don’t go into the cars settings to get it changed. Only a couple of ones get it done properly! But what you can see is that due to the temps the power / Torque will be limited.

[@NY20N]

Noticeable difference to my stock (GPF delete) I20N stock is perfect for everyday roads.

[@Buck3366]

Ok I have a question to any N owners. The Turbo pressure hits in places 1.3 Bar with the overboost green turbo light lit but in other areas only hits 0.8/0.9 Bar without it. So is 240 bhp only when the overboost function is working and otherwise running 210-220bhp? I know this car is tuned but it seems the overboost is very temperamental .

[@plataoplomo4872]

130°c oil,ofc that turbo won't reach 1.3bar

[@enkerl9172]

f I'm being honest, I don't think much of tuning boxes, they're plugged in, right? It's better to have good software. As always, great video. This little dwarf works really well, 😳😳

[@purplehazeffc]

Agreed. But at this stage when the video was filmed. There is no option to ECU tune these yet.

[@jorgezumeta4613]

Love it the i20 N😍

[@friedmann509]

The Racechip i20N has wider wheels, it has 8.0j ones instead of 7.5j with spacers all around. Combined with PS4s it gives a better grip/stability overall. Anyway, i would upgrade the radiator/intercooler with at least a good downpipe.

[@powerjian8193]

The chip modify breaks the balance of cooling and heating.

[@hudiniimagician18]

Oil Temp is always a problem on the N models, my 30N got it too.

[@kadj79]

As long as you don't do back to back laps 130c is fine...just make sure you change the oil every 5-6k km. Done this with my 2018 I30N and it ran perfect, traded it in with 90k km on the clock for a 2022 I30 FL DCT, and I am doing the same with this one. For track days oil cooler is better to have of course.

[@andreas000]

Can you make a video with the cars you own Misha? That would be really cool!

[@TheWolfsting]

The ECU hasnt yet been cracked, comparing to your old stock i20n lap the power looks identical with trap speeds

[@tomcaveracing]

Fitted a GTS black race chip to my i20n recently- transformed the car! Chassis handles the added power with ease, but front brakes need to be bigger.. otherwise what a machine! So much fun.
