Testing out new PowerFlex bushings for my Elantra N First Impressions

[@VitalJoe]

Keep the purple mate! I told you about these friend. Grab the upper motor mount as well.. maybe even gearbox mounts.. I have all three powerflex in my manual Elantra N and it’s perfect …. Also the 2024 Elantra N gets firmer engine mounts from factory!

[@PolishBullitt]

Yeah I think about buying rest of the bushings but I like it so far 😃

[@RobTheNthusiast]

Awesome video! I wish I would’ve known about the power flex option back when I first got my Kona N. All I knew of was a stiffer mount from sxth element. I love how well I can hook with the stiffer mount, but the vibrations at idle with the ac is very annoying. My passengers notice it too

[@PolishBullitt]

I know man right? That’s exactly why I made that video cause I know I was looking for something like that before buying haha let’s at least save those who are considering both right now lol

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@PolishBullitt haha I may get around to changing mine.

[@PolishBullitt]

No harm in trying plus it’s only 40$ 😉

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@PolishBullitt oh that part is easy, it’s the getting it on part that’s hard. I’m no longer friends with the guy that helped me get the first mount on. So I don’t access to the torque wrench or jacks/stands anymore for that

[@klasseact6663]

​@@RobTheNthusiastI'm sure you can sell it on to someone else, especially where you are😉

[@VitalJoe]

I enjoy polish bullitt videos.. he’s does some good testing for our Elantra N community. Stay healthy and happy brother..

[@PolishBullitt]

Oh man I really appreciate that bro 😃 just doing my best to show how great out car is 😉

[@catsspat]

I just installed the "Street" (yellow) one in my Honda Fit manual. Almost no increase in NVH, but way better for rowing through gears. I wish I knew about it years ago! So cheap, so easy to install, yet a big improvement.

[@PolishBullitt]

Definitely brother those bushings help a lot especially with Elantra N’s and that crazy wheel hop lol

[@LeftenantMalachi]

Glad you're happy. I have the SXTH first and it worked GREAT, but the vibrations rattled the fillings out of my teeth. As a daily, I removed it and added what you got from Powerflex, plus the transmission bushing, and front engine mount bushings. Hardly anymore NVH, and launches are very good with minimal wheel hop. You live you learn.

[@PolishBullitt]

That’s what’s up brother you live you learn, I wish there was a video like that back when I was buying mine haha, but I don’t regret my boomba I like how it let you feel the car especially while autocrossing or launching it, but daily drivability suffers for sure

[@kingpikachuthethird]

Glad to see a video that talks about motor mount vs bushings! Ive only seen videos on one or the other. Definitely going with bushings then

[@PolishBullitt]

I know right I was looking for it too before I got my mount haha

[@GOINFINITI]

Great video - I hate extra NVH, so your video put my concerns away and I ordered it for my KONA :)

[@PolishBullitt]

That’s great brother, I’m glad I could help 💪😉

[@nstylemotorsportsracing1471]

Keep up the great content my brother. I’m really enjoying your videos.

[@PolishBullitt]

Thank you my man I will do my best 🙂

[@EN_autoblog]

You're going to love the power flex more 💯. They're great products.

[@PolishBullitt]

I really like it so far especially cause daily my car

[@EN_autoblog]

@@PolishBullitt yep. I got all 3 of them. Love it.

[@GingkoMister]

If you consider doing the other 2 powerflex bushings. Just go all the way to the black racing one. The yellow upper mount one doesn't hold up very well, black works better. And the tranny bushing doesn't add any NVH. I am runing both of them black and the lower one purple, only experience a hint of vibration while idling, not really noticeable.

[@PolishBullitt]

Hmmm thanks for the info brother 💪🙂

[@GingkoMister]

No problems bro, you are helping the community!👍

[@PolishBullitt]

I’m trying to show people what’s up 😉

[@hg1496]

Add the black engine mount and transmission mount and also the upper bushing on the torque arm (the one that connects to the engine, opposite of the purple moint). I have all of these and after 500 miles its so so good! Its literally the best combo.

[@PolishBullitt]

I just don’t want to make it too harsh cause it’s my daily haha

[@hg1496]

@PolishBullitt that's the thing..its not! For some reason the black ones on the engine and Trans are OEM+. I had your same worry...and it was worth it.

[@PolishBullitt]

@hg1496 @hg1496 I mean technically I’m not far off cause I have a black upper and and trans bushing only lower torque arm is purple 😉 I have another video that I made after this one if you want to check it out haha

[@HG-NLINE]

Great video I just ordered some power flex bushing’s yday. The boomba racing NVH is too much for me I’m going to try to return them they are worst than the SXTH mount

[@PolishBullitt]

Yeah brother it was a bit much for me too as a daily driven car, but if it comes to performance let say going to dragstrip or HPDE boomba would be a better option

[@N-Krazy1976]

Figured you would like them better Brother 😎👊

[@PolishBullitt]

So far gucci brother 🙂

[@N-Krazy1976]

@@PolishBullitt Awesome! I would also recomend the upper motor mount and trans bushings from PowerFlex. 😎👊

[@PolishBullitt]

Yeah somebody said that already, I will think about it but for now I’m enjoying my S Class level of comfort haha 😉

[@N-Krazy1976]

@@PolishBullitt The other mounts should not change anything as far as NVH goes Brother. But as long as your happy! That"s all that really matters 💯 🇨🇦

[@PolishBullitt]

Exactly, if I need something for racing I got my boomba 🙂 but will see maybe I get the other two bushings

[@anthonylove6639]

Purple powerflex bushings have to break in I would say a bout 1,000 miles or a bit more than you won’t feel as much vibrations. That’s one of the reasons I went with purple instead of the black bushings. btw I think the purple ones are pretty good!! 👍🏻 Think I’ll stick with them unless I start making 500hp?

[@PolishBullitt]

Yup powerflex works great on my car as a daily driver, but if I was making 500hp I think I would go with full dog bone engine mount just in case haha

[@anthonylove6639]

@@PolishBullitt most definitely 👍🏻

[@marcosmayen9550]

I’d love to win a set of Powerflex Bushings. 🤩 Thank you for the video and feed back.

[@PolishBullitt]

No problem brother, I still have to find some time to do a giveaway and I was thinking about doing a livestream or something like that, but there will be one 100% 🙂

[@damor4878]

Does the engine have to be supported in any way or is it just a straight forward unbolt and replace job?

[@PolishBullitt]

Basically you just replace it, you might have to push the engine back with you hand if you need to but nothing crazy

[@hectoribarra8473]

Thank for the honesty. Did you do a test from a dig?. Any difference?

[@PolishBullitt]

For sure brother I’m all about keeping it real brother 🙂 no testing yet but I feel it will be the same thing basically, but I can tell right now after couple of days driving with it that boomba give you more feedback

[@Sir_Saul]

I was installing chassis strut bars beneath my nline Tucson, while my car was up I saw my engine mount bushing (OEM stock) was very greasy and it looks the same as this power max bushings, would it be ideal to get the power max bushing for a tucson?

[@PolishBullitt]

I mean if they are the same bushings and you feel a lot of play in between your car and engine movement then you could definitely upgrade them

[@junwooo]

Hey boss, are you in the Chicago area? Woud love some help with my EN 24 if you are

[@PolishBullitt]

@junwooo Yes I’m in Chicago suburbs What’s up with your 24 EN brother?

[@gooddays8051]

What’s up brother I just got my EN drive amazing what you think about jb4 tune stage 1

[@PolishBullitt]

That’s great, I mean I don’t have experience with jb4 at least for know but a lot of people running them and no complaints from what i see 🙂

Just woke up to this video. Lmao

Ain’t that something lol 😉

come back after 1k milleage on both break ins

I already put a lot more then 1K on both haha 😉

[@jordynhixson655]

What ft lbs did you torque the 2 14mm bolts and the 1 17mm bolt down to?

[@PolishBullitt]

Honestly I torque everything by feel haha I’m old school what can I say lol 😉 but I always double check couple days later after everything sets in 🙂

[@VitalJoe]

50ft pound for 14mm and 80ft pounds for 17mm…

[@PolishBullitt]

That’s great info for all the people who wants to know exactly how many pound you nee to torque those bolts down, now like me doing it by feel like some old school jedi master 😆

[@ZONE3965]

Heard the powerflex bushings go bad quickly? Anyone been running these for a while now?

[@PolishBullitt]

How quick?

[@richm658]

@@PolishBullitt The yellow street ones have the issue. Too soft and they tend to split/tear with some use. Purple is definitely the way to go as it's a good compromise for a dual purpose street/track set up. Good wheel hope mitigation and reasonable NVH. Black are the hardest compound and not well suited for the street as they produce the most additional NVH of the 3 compounds. However The black upper motor mount and trans mounts add very little additional NVH strangely enough. I find that the purple lower, black top and trans to be the best combination. In addition if and when you get tuned have your tuner bump the idle up 200 RPM for even better NVH control.

[@PolishBullitt]

I’m not sure if I’m gonna get other 2 bushings, unless I will get tune and all that jazz and I will have no choice haha

[@richm658]

@@PolishBullitt not necessary but you will see a further improvement by adding the upper and trans inserts. I did all 3 prior to tuning and there was a noticeable improvement. Not huge but still noticeable.

[@PolishBullitt]

That’s good to know brother I will definitely keep that in mind 🙂

[@klasseact6663]

Where's the 0-60 mph results?

[@PolishBullitt]

I have to find a spot for it, hopefully after tire rotation I have enough rubber left to do 0-60 cause before that I was spinning all the way yo 40-45mph and my best was 5.3
