SXTH Element Intake and Turbo Inlet Install

[@veritaz212]

You can also take the 2 easy bolts off first then you can rotate the entire Inlet to separate it from the line to the turbo enough to get a socket on it. Just finished swapping the Inlet on my EN and it was way easier than when I did it on my VN. I then used a string through a bolt hole on the new Inlet to secure the gasket, got all 3 bolts hand threaded loose, cut out the string then tightened them down. 35 minutes start to finish.

The crescent wrench tip helped so much brother! Thank you!

I just picked up my 22 VN M/T and order the SXTH intake set up. When I see everyone switching the turbo inlet pipe I'm a little perplexed as to why even bother switching that inlet pipe from OEM. The inlet to the turbo housing isn't bigger than the OEM inlet piping. The SXTH pipe obviously is bigger at the intake connection and reduces down to the same size as the OEM pipe at the turbo housing. The velocity rate is going to be the same at the turbo inlet. I would be curious to see a reading on statics airflow at the turbo inlet with the OEM pipe and the SXTH pipe both connected to their intake set up to see the difference in flow rate.

I had the same concern but SXTH publishes numbers with and without the inlet and there is a difference. I also noticed an immediate difference after I installed

[@augustodimacali5245]

It’s been a while now. There is no CEL because of the inlet ?

[@aftrio]

I never had a CEL

[@Olemrac11]

i was insanely confused watching this cause it looks like your vid inverted half way through lol, with the battery on the right side of the engine bay

[@aftrio]

Dang, yeah. It's because I was using a different camera. Sorry.

[@valkyriesnp]

Is it necessary to change the turbo inlet when going for any of the sxth element intakes? Or will the intake still fit the same with the stock turbo inlet?

[@aftrio]

The SXTH intakes come with an adapter to fit the stock inlet so it is NOT necessary to get the SXTH inlet. However, if you're looking for better performance, you should get the inlet as well. Especially if you're already doing the intake. It is A LOT of work, though, so be prepared.

[@valkyriesnp]

@@aftrio Understood. I appreciate your help

[@nastyVN]

did you cap the bpv ????

[@aftrio]

The SXTH CF intake doesn't have a port for the bypass valve. Before I got my HKS BOV, I was letting the stock BOV VTA. No issues.

[@nastyVN]

@@aftrio so the hks bov still flutters ?

[@aftrio]

No, the turbo flutters, the BOV just give a short whistle as it let out boost.

[@gwmock]

Plugs are cheap. I don't know why but I'd feel better if bpv was plugged. Were you letting stock valve vta through the tube?

[@Steven-mg2vi]

is there a noticeable difference between the CPLT intake?

[@aftrio]

From what I've read and talked about with other people, the CPLT intake is more like the stock intake as it has a box. It has a small opening so you hear some turbo noises, but not a lot. You'll get more cold air with the CPLT as opposed to this one

[@ndriverkg104]

How did it drive after do you need it tuned any cel? And did you feel a power difference ?

[@aftrio]

No CEL. I can tell it pulls more than the stock intake. No tune required. Well worth the time/money

[@اسامه-ذ3س]

Is this intake will fit Elantra N ?

[@aftrio]

I don't believe so. SXTH just released an intake specifically for the Elantra N
