Looking forward to all your track focused mods. Keep up the good work. To be honest I am not a fan of SXTH but their intake lite paired with the turbo inlet looks to be a good bang for the buck product. Especially if you are going to run a tune. It addresses all the issues with the stock intake for the most part as the OEM air box itself is pretty well optimized till you hit big power levels. If the lite was available at the time it's what I would have went with. Was a pretty easy job replacing the turbo inlet as I have done a few already. However the right tools are key. Dam bottom bolt takes almost as long to remove and reinstall as the whole job...lol. Plenty of room to move the coolant line a little for better access don't know why they didn't unless the line is from the parts bin and fits other vehicles with space constraints. Somewhere there is a Hyundai engineer or bean counter laughing. For those planning to replace the turbo inlet again the right tools are key to a easier job. Wide selection of 1/4" drive extensions preferably wobble. 1/4" drive just works better as it is smaller. 10mm ratcheting wrench (stubby) flex head if possible for the bottom bolt. If you doing the SXTH inlet you will need a allen socket. Best would be long shank wobble (round ball end). Small zip ties 4" use one when taking off and on. The biggerr ones will just be to stiff and get in the way. You don't want to lose or damage that inlet gasket, as right now it's not available separately. Only as part of the turbo assembly per the parts listing. Loosen the bottom bolt about half way first. The take out the front and top bolts completely and them rotate the inlet to provide a little better access to the bottom bolt. Reverse the procedure to re-install (bottom bolt first).
You think that was hard, it took me awhile to change mine on the VN. There was a small pipe that I had to move and work around to get to the back. My hands felt cramped after that. Good video though. I see you also swapped the battery. Nice weight savings there! How is the feel comparing to the VN on street?
I did it in the VN too haha. It was hell. I cross threaded the rear one. I had to tap it lol. Battery is nice. I transferred it from the VN. It makes the front end a little lighter; 34lbs savings. On the street, EN feels more refined. EN is heavier too. Especially with the DCT. I hope with BBK, battery, and forged wheels, car will feel a little more nimble
Is there a noticeable difference in turbo noise with the lite intake after this install? I'm looking for more turbo sound, not going for any tuning for a while. Thanks!
@umarovracing There's a bracket attached to the stock inlet. After you take the bolts off and pull the oem inlet off the turbo flange you have to free it from the wiring harness to completely get it off the car.
@@umarovracing minimal mods but enough to get a TAD more power and sound from the exhaust / intake. Looking at doing a res delete, opinion on doing so ?
Not a huge difference. Car does pick up power a little bit more effortlessly. On stock tune, difference was small. Torque limits apply too. I put stage 2. I haven't done a test with stage 2 with/without inlet. So I can't tell. Other have reported differences
Nice to see that you are wasting NO TIME with the modifications on the NEW ride. Awesome!
Yes hahaha already itching to go out on track
Get an extendable magnet bro. You can hold the bolt with the extension, and then stick the magnet in the tight spaces to stick to it.
Good tip.

Why aren't you a fan of SXTH? Yeah this intake was a good value. I can't wait to throw the stage 2 tune on this car
nice vid, i have the intake lite but am dreading the inlet
Nice! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to provide any tips
GOT A discount from your code thnx !
Huge thanks for the support!

Did you have to get your N tune after installing the cold air intake and inlet?
Not immediately. I drove for a week or two on stock tune. Now I have a SXTH Stage 2
@umarovracing I install Takeda cold air intake and inlet and wasn't too sure to get it tune or not
You don't have to. There is some gains up into the torque limits of the car.
Is there a noticeable difference in turbo noise with the lite intake after this install? I'm looking for more turbo sound, not going for any tuning for a while. Thanks!
This adds some extra noise. If you want more, CPLT or open system will be the best for sound
How do you get the bracket off that wire harness? I been stuck on that for hours😢
I don't know which bracket. I didn't take any out
@umarovracing There's a bracket attached to the stock inlet. After you take the bolts off and pull the oem inlet off the turbo flange you have to free it from the wiring harness to completely get it off the car.
Ah yes. You are right. I somehow got it off. I don't remember
I don’t see the point in replacing the turbo inlet pipe when the sxth inlet is the same size as the oem at the turbo.
It just allows for more air to be compressed by the turbo. Since the boost pressure when tuned is higher than stock, the extra coming in helps.
Hey ! do you need to get the car tuned to this or does the ECU adapt to it ?
No you don't need a tune. Car has torque limits. It won't make more power than that. It's based on lambdas
@@umarovracing Easy, thankyou. can you suggest any other starter mods i can do to mine ?
Catch can. Hold strut. What are your goals with the car
@@umarovracing minimal mods but enough to get a TAD more power and sound from the exhaust / intake. Looking at doing a res delete, opinion on doing so ?
I have never done it before. I feel like exhaust is loud enough.
Any difference when you installed the inlet before the tune . Any noticeable gains or PSI
