🔧 BUILD I did a thing.. (3 doors, turbo, DCT, not a 3800)

Someone with no insurance or shit insurance would have been more to get upset over.
Roll with the punches, new parts !

Guess I don’t have to worry about the paint fix on the rear bumper now.

Thinking about asking to just paint the entire lower fascia black.

 

[Fish]

Forgot to update. Took the car to the body shop last week. They took pics and said so far its probably just bumper and lower facia, but wont really know until they take the parts off. I was told the last time they had a Veloster in the shop, it sat for 3 months waiting for the parts to come in. So I get to keep my car while they wait for the parts to come in.

Maybe I should practice buffing on the fucked up bumper if I can find a spare minute.

 

[Fish]

Finally got a call yesterday and the parts are in. Scheduled to drop it off Monday.

Got some POS Nissan Sentra for a rental. The front sensor for the cruise control threw an error on the dash and I called Enterprise back to let them know it wasn’t me. Guy said it’s normal this time of year for their Nissan cars to have this issue. ??

 

[Fish]

Rear end looking better than when I got it. They also did a decent wash as well.

Still gotta get a new plate bracket, and get rid of the stupid dealer sticker and their pin stripes. Kinda wish they did what I mentioned and just make the lower facia all black and skip the silver.

Started getting misfires on cylinder 1. Did some asking on the VT groups and apparently the ignition coils are usually known to act up between 50-60K miles. Im at 53K.

Prices at parts direct sites for OEM coils are kinda meh.

Dealer wants close to $200 PER coil. Then someone on the group said to reach out to a dude in the group that gets parts at cost. He lives in South Korea and I believe works for Hyundai. So $260 later I have 4 new coils and plugs coming in and should be here by Monday.

 

[Fish]

South Korea to Hanover park in 3 and a half days. DHL might just be my goto if I need something.

Need to see which one is cylinder 1 since that one was misfiring, but I did find one of the bolts holding the coils down was not the same as the other 3.

Finally installed the Injen intake I got off of someone from a Facebook group. Over a year for my first engine mod. Im impressed.

I think I hear the BBV at about half throttle VS the turbo though.

That's a BOV for turbo cars.

Tell Hyundai their BBV is a BOV.

I know everyone else calls it a BOV, and you can buy aftermarket BOVs, but Hyundai and people on their forums call the stock recirc BBV a BBV.

 

[Fish]

Just an example. Even on their forums they call the stock setup a BBV. I havent dug into the Veloster platform nearly as much as I did with the Wbodies, so I know nothing about nothing. Just seeing what I read.

What do you guys use to Plug your Bypass Valve from the...

It is not bypassing the boost though, that would be incredibly confusing to send the boost that you're releasing back into the same system that is releasing it. It is however, diverting the boost to a different location, which uses a diverter valve or more commonly known as a BOV.

How do you like it? I'd have an Elantra N for a DD right now if it weren't for the jerkoff dealerships and their "market adjustments".

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL...............................

It actually is recirculated back into the intake.

Hose at the bottom curve is connected to the valve. When installing an aftermarket BOV, you cap that part of the intake and remove the hose since it will be vented into the atmosphere. Unless I am totally misreading your post and making it more complicated than it should be.

I really enjoy driving my VT. Its for sure not world beating, but its very planted to the ground, light, and peppy enough to have a spirited drive if I goose it. I usually hear the VT vs the N Velosters are not totally night and day, but differences are for sure felt. If I were to do a DP, plugs, and some form of tune I believe the power would be around stock N levels. At least from what Ive read. Bigger IC and full exhaust could net more, but I dont want to go too crazy. Hell, I am debating on getting the Burger Tuner if I were to do some form of tune just so I can switch back to stock if need be.

I've heard the EN puts down 30-40whp more than the VN. Bigger turbo and what not.

Looks like they do low-low 13s stock, or high 12s in good conditions, and still handle awesome. Seems like a fun car for 34k. I love DCTs too

Really? I was looking and they are both rated at 275 or something. Not saying you are wrong, but thats crazy if they are doing low 13s stock. Hell for 34K, Id get over the ugly exterior IMO and get an Elantra N.

They rate the EN at 275 or 285, but everyone that dynos one ends up seeing that at the wheels. Whereas the VNs would do like 240 at the wheels.

I've seen a number of videos of stock ENs doing low low 13s stock. And one guy got the 2-step and weather perfect and was going 12.80s.

edit: At that power level, it's basically a stock LS1 f-body - but with a DCT and way better suspension/brakes. I bet it's a blast on twisty roads.

Dealer we ordered our Tucson hybrid thru doesn’t do market adjustments. Took like 6 weeks from time of order to delivery.

They are out there. Last I spoke with my sales guy, Patrick Hyundai in Schaumburg was not marking up cars. There are plenty of people online and FB sharing who they purchased a Hyundai from without ADM. It might not be the norm, but it still happens.

Thats where I was last week getting my oil changed and my sales guy was telling me about the recalls for the Elantra Ns, and that the ones they had were plated and sold but waiting for parts. They seem to give good deals hence why we keep going back.

 

[Fish]

Also, I think if I need an engine replacement, my car will start identifying as an Elantra N.

 

[Fish]

So I got a bitch of an itch to do something, but time hasn’t been plentiful so no full detail. However I did break out the pressure washer, bucket, pinstripe removal tool, and the Ryobi DA polisher.

Started this morning not terrible but pretty dirty and pinstripes from the hood all the way to the hatch almost.

Also some dirty ass tires and rims.

Washed the rims and tires before anything and figured I’d still hit them with the foam canon as I soaked and rinsed her down. Look a lot better after just the rim and tire wash.

Next was to get rid of the pinstripes but didn’t think I’d have enough time and didn’t want it to look goofy if I couldn’t finish in time before work, so I just did the hood section first.

Using this guy.

Went over the passenger side and didn’t realize the drill was on high at first. Noticed the hood was getting a little warm and leaning part of the removal tool imbedded in the paint so I slowed it down and finished up. Driver side had no issues on low and looked pretty good after.

Foamed her up and washed her.

Rinsed and you can see the spot in question for sure.

Tried some clay bar and really didn’t get anywhere.

So I moved onto this guy.

After it was all said and done, this is what I got left with.

Now I just need to dedicate some time to really compound, polish, and wax the entire car.

1000 pardons. I’m a dumbass and an idiot that wastes my time.
