Dont do it, unless you get a good tune, also you need to upgrade the throttle body with one from the genesis 2.0. Plug/cap the 2 collant lines that go to the throttle body the new one wont need them. After that, do a throttle relearn. Then make sure your tune is correct.. your ecu will not compensate for the extra air and you will ruin that engine. Im on my third engine, forth transmission. So word to the wise. Do not beat on this car at all. They have very weak engine bearings and they will wear massively even with 3000 mile oil changes and regular top off. I would also install a catch can. But make sure you route it right and buy the vented oil cap.
@Chaair6 ай бұрын
This only applies to the older G4FJ Gamma engines I think that’s 2013 and before, I ran the intake with no tune, no throttle body upgrade, no plugged coolant lines. My ECU definitely compensated for the extra air no problem. If you beat on ANY car it’s gonna mess up faster, but if you’re casually driving most of the time and only go hard every now and again. For me I wouldn’t bother for new engines with the car I don’t think it would be worth it. As of right now I have a tune, oil catch can, and more upgrades too. If you’d like you may check them out as I have videos of the work done. Lmk if I’m wrong on anything but this is my experience

the biggest issue I have with mine right now is that once it's warmed up, it likes to idle way down around 650 rpms which then causes my belt to start squealing. Also sometimes turns off my amp and dims my lights. I'm really not sure what's causing it to do that, but while i'm driving everything works beautifully. I have a cold air intake, and fresh plugs and coils, but that's about it. I did a couple carbon cleaning treatments about 500 miles apart after I got it because i'm fairly sure the previous owners hadn't. I have a 60mm throttle body i'm going to try on it as soon as the weather warms up a bit, but after that maybe a tune and exhaust would fix the idle problem.

You could purchase the he shifter bushings kit from Add-W1, it’s not to expensive and u could do an install on them. I just did it and it feels nice 😊
Would mess with the already upgraded Rally edition shifter?
@@Chaair no, the short shifter that comes on the rally edition still uses the rubbing bushings
why check valve?
I don’t understand, what do you mean?
Looks like you wrapped your spoiler? How hard was it mine is faded and needs to be wrapped
I actually painted mine with a thick matte black paint, it’s fairly flat and not complex so wrapping it would be a breeze the only thing “hard” would be the break light but it’s pretty flat on the bottom and top so it should be simple enough
the mbrp exhaust is to loud for me, but i have a muffler for hyundai performance. you can go watch my build on my youtube chanel
ive got two center caps for your Rays wheels if you want Hyundai sells them at your local dealer ship but there was like 9 left in stock when I bought mine
Dude that would be sick! I have been looking for them, when I called my local dealer they said they didn’t have any but that I could check out other dealers that may have them
@@Chaair do you have an insta it wont let me send you my number or email
Wheres a good place for aftermarket grilles
If you could snag one off FB marketplace that’s best but you can check out SoCal garage works they have a decent selection for grilles
How much was the tune
If I’m remembering correctly it was about $250 for the actual time and my tuner also had the upgraded spark plugs for $100 so overall it was $350 since you need the plugs for the tune! Would you like his contact info?
@@Chaairyea I seen you driving around and heard it
Haha if you’re in the WNC then I’m sure you have seen me! His IG is QwykTymeperformance and he’s also on FB at Leonard Barringer
@@Chaairye I’m in hendo
🦫 I’m really getting Doxxed rn lol. Yes that’s me! That’s crazy man! What you drive?
Wooow, man. My vt rally edition has the same miles XD 67,387 M. How do You get 24 mpg, i'm just getting 18-21😢 I don't have a tune.
That’s actually so crazy lol! I’m on a 93+ tune and usually premium gives you higher gas mileage.
Do u have a tune ?
Yee! I have a custom stage 1 tune(if you’d like I have a video about it) from QwykTyme Performance!
I just installed a MBRP exhaust on my VT, it sounds really good
How’s that drone for you? Not too bad eh?
@@Chaair yeah not bad at all, cruising 90 today almost like I didn’t install the exhaust yet.
Exactly! Even with my catless downpipe it’s not too noticeable
Dang I’d probably buy this as my 2nd car and have my big turbo St as my project
That might be the move, Big turbos always can have unexpected downfalls😭so it’s always nice to have second car
Those are 5 great reasons to buy a VT! Many more reasons as well! I love my VT!
Absolutely! This might be one of the best daily’s for the price. Other options are usually lackluster in one of the categories
I had to install 2 of the cans.
Yeah it depends where you live and how you drive, where I live it didn’t get too hot or too cold and weather usually is clear.
@@Chaairi already bought my catch can for pcv side and i definitely drive it like a race car what does the other do?
Yo do you have instagram bro
I don’t have an IG for my car but I have a personal if you want to contact me on, @_chaair could also check my twitter out too @ripchair
How’s the drone on the highway? I heard from others the drone can get pretty obnoxious
It’s not too bad, with just this exhaust, I mean it’s not even that much louder to be honest. The drone is VERY minimal and cruising in 6th gear on highways is almost not even noticeable. You can still have a convo with someone and listen to music just fine
bud if you have an aftermakret intake unplug the bov return pipe running to the intake and just cap off the part from the intake youll get that same sound and just push the pipe under the radiator hose you wont hurt anything with it being open because its a return
I’ve done that before and it does not sound nearly as loud as this plate. It is a cheap alternative tho, I also noticed a slight reduction in the amount of air being sucked into the aftermarket CAI.
@Chaair its a recirculation return.... of course you are gonna get a tad less but it's been proving that having the hose of does absolutely nothing to hp loss and air loss
It would most definitely affect…effect? Idk which one lol but it would change ever so slightly because of less air going coming in meaning the A&F ratio is off. Now will it be noticeable probably not but with the tune you can absolutely tell the difference as it runs sluggish with less air. With all this being said I did install this as it was a viewer request!
Dont do it, unless you get a good tune, also you need to upgrade the throttle body with one from the genesis 2.0. Plug/cap the 2 collant lines that go to the throttle body the new one wont need them. After that, do a throttle relearn. Then make sure your tune is correct.. your ecu will not compensate for the extra air and you will ruin that engine. Im on my third engine, forth transmission. So word to the wise. Do not beat on this car at all. They have very weak engine bearings and they will wear massively even with 3000 mile oil changes and regular top off. I would also install a catch can. But make sure you route it right and buy the vented oil cap.
This only applies to the older G4FJ Gamma engines I think that’s 2013 and before, I ran the intake with no tune, no throttle body upgrade, no plugged coolant lines. My ECU definitely compensated for the extra air no problem. If you beat on ANY car it’s gonna mess up faster, but if you’re casually driving most of the time and only go hard every now and again. For me I wouldn’t bother for new engines with the car I don’t think it would be worth it. As of right now I have a tune, oil catch can, and more upgrades too. If you’d like you may check them out as I have videos of the work done. Lmk if I’m wrong on anything but this is my experience
@@Chaair i have a 2017 r spec
Nice, this is my 2016 Rally edition so based on that years R-spec with some upgrades from factory, like I said I’ve never had any issues
@@richarddesimone960manual or automatic
Sounds good! I got the GFB dvx and she sounds amazing, paired with the kdm tuners bov solenoid really makes a difference!
Heard a lot about the GFB one, definitely one of the better sounding ones too
I have a forte 1.6 turbo but it doesn't work, I put it in 3 ways and none of them worked
What exactly doesn’t work? Is it aligned with the original plate?
@@Chaair I already placed the spacer according to your video but no pshhhh sounds
Do you have an instagram or twitter? You can send me a video of your set up and maybe I can help out a little more cus I’m not too sure what’s going on. It should be placed on the OEM plate and everything should still be connected such as the air hoses
@@Chaair sure! Can you give me your Instagram and I will send you a picture
Sounds great brother! You’re right, it’s mainly for the sound, not performance. There are more expensive ones out there, but this plate is great to have until can afford a better one for sure! Could you give us a POV drive with your windows down? Can’t wait to hear it! Especially with your tune!
For sure I’ll see what I can make ! Thanks amigo
The reason I recommend the DVX is because it holds boost better.
Absolutely! It definitely will hold more boost. Fortunately the stock BOV can handle the boost I’m running
Would you ever opt into getting the GFB DVX diverter valve, it sits just on your intercooler like the bov sound plate, from other forte and veloster users, they said they feel better acceleration. I am getting one for my Kia forte5 sx soon.
Yes I would for sure prefer an actual BOV upgrade than just the plate, I’ve heard great things about the GFB one too!
Pops n bangs tune?
Yessir, I have a video on my custom stage 1+ tune with pops bangs, burbles, and of course more power too
Who’s your tuner?
@@Chaair Could you tune mine?
I got it tuned by Leonard Barringer, here is his instagram instagram.com/qwiktymeperformance?igsh=bjZldzhvNXE3YW95
i have a 2014 vt with an exhaust and k&n intake which is loud 24/7, as loud as your spacer. what intake u have just curious? never did bov or spacer cuz turbo/intake is already loud and removed hood vent covers
Yes so my intake is super loud too it’s the “AF Dynamic” open intake. When your driving it the intake lets you hear the turbo spin and now the spacer lets you hear it “pshhh” louder. Honestly kinda sounds like a bigger turbo lol
@@Chaair the bypass valve failed on mine before so it would have compressor surge/flutter sound when letting off. sounds cool but supposedly not good for turbo so i replaced it. i think if you pull a vacuum line off the bypass itll make the sound too
@beetleboys your exactly right, I had a check engine because I didn’t align the slot form the spacer and the OEM plate. Once I realized that I reinstalled in the correct orientation and boom CeL is gone!
Wdym cut the hood vent covers. Are you referring to the fake plastics on the hood?
@@ryanator4156 they just pop out. i think later models dont have them. if you remove them get a neg battery terminal cover
Still sounds sick asf ngl , planing on getting a veloster soon😁
It does sound cool and for $25 it’s not bad. That’s cool! If you ever have any questions hit me back up!
Very fast now
It’s definitely quicker! I still need to let you drive it! And we need to line it up and race against the sky
@@Chaair yeah for sure drive the sky first first see how it feels
@alexchavez1011 definitely. your probably still quicker but at least both of us are faster than the c300😭
What size wheels do you have?
They are 18x7.5 offset of 54
Did you notice any gains ? From the downpipe not tune tho I’m putting it on next week
You can slightly feel it pull harder, not very noticeable but a little bit better
@@Chaair yeah my cats are clogged and my car threw a code about it so I’m waiting for my downpipe
@CarLifeSteven Yee I’ve seen that a few times, catless downpipe?
@@Chaair I have the same one as you I bought it
@@Chaair yeah cat less I believe
What year is ur car ? And that replaced ur old cats ?
2016 Veloster Rally edition. This down pipe replaced the primary cats !
the biggest issue I have with mine right now is that once it's warmed up, it likes to idle way down around 650 rpms which then causes my belt to start squealing. Also sometimes turns off my amp and dims my lights. I'm really not sure what's causing it to do that, but while i'm driving everything works beautifully. I have a cold air intake, and fresh plugs and coils, but that's about it. I did a couple carbon cleaning treatments about 500 miles apart after I got it because i'm fairly sure the previous owners hadn't. I have a 60mm throttle body i'm going to try on it as soon as the weather warms up a bit, but after that maybe a tune and exhaust would fix the idle problem.
Could be an electrical problem, cus if the lights dim usually that means something not getting enough power. Try some electrical tests and see if that helps
A tune could also help cus of the throttle body upgrade
Can’t wait to see your next video bro
Thank you amigo for being a supporter. I hope to learn to make better content and upload more frequently for people like you!
Hey I noticed you got tuned in in NC and was wondering who to go to for the dyno tune
I actually got a street tune so I didn’t get on the dyno. A place on Wilksesboro called Carolina performance is a good place and they have a dyno!
Hey do you have a tuner or did you take your car to a shop and haved it tuned
My tuner actually lived fairly local to me so I took it to him, you can do it yourself he would just send you the ecu flash and you would just do it in your end!
Ok I'm been looking for a tuner like a hand held one like Diablo sport tuner or something but I don't know what one works for the VT
@jefferycollins9665 contract Leonard Barringer on Facebook or Instagram, he can help you out for sure!
That sounds amazing!! 👏 Take us for a drive so we can hear how it sounds through the gears.
Thats the plan!
@@Chaair also, if you could..(this is something I’ve been wanting to do/hear for a long time but didn’t get the chance to) could you set up a camera on the side of some quiet road at night, and drive really far in the distance, then again coming back to the camera. The sound of our cars are so unique bro, and honestly.. in my opinion, it’s the best sounding car in the world. Especially with the mods you have on your car bro. 😎 (just imagine how amazing that would sound)
@tristanmac9287 yes! That would be sick, like from far away coming in close for a drive by! I can 100% do that. I’m actually working on doing a more “cinematic” piece and I can incorporate that for sure. Thanks amigo means a lot!
What is the bov
It’s actually the stock BOV, I installed a BOV sound plate! Usually for the 1.5L civic si but, it fits the 1.6l gamma turbos! Video in it soon!
@@Chaair I have a forte 1.6 turbo but it doesn't work, I put it in 3 ways and none of them worked
theres no way its 250whp
Yessir, my tuner told me 248!
Why not lol, these cars are capable of pushing 400whp if tuned properly
@@ItsYaBoyMj2x not on the stock block
@@leolevesque721 that doesn’t mean this car isn’t capable of 400 wheel, big turbo and a fuel system upgrade will take it pretty close but there are Gen 1 veloster turbos at are pushing over 400 wheel.
@@ItsYaBoyMj2x dont the ones pushing 400+ have built motors tho?
When cruising at freeway speeds, can you still hear the exhaust?
In 6th gear it’s pretty tame, you can hear it a little but you can still hear your music and have a conversation. Droning is very very minimal.
@@Chaair ok that’s at like 2k-3k rpm, right?
@@emirsaidov6024 yes under 3.5k rpms, my tune is also set to only pop and bang at 4k rpms. Anything under that tends to be calm burbles. Good daily exhaust cus it’s only loud when you push it definitely recommend!
@@Chaair sick, now I need to convince my dad😂
@@emirsaidov6024 haha of course, good luck!
Awesome video dude keep it up!
Thank you amigo! Means a lot
Older G4FJ Gamma engines had weaker connecting rods (2012-2013). Have first hand experience with it blowing up. Wasn't doing a pull, just driving back home from work, turn out of an intersection and engine blew out, punched a hole through the block, had to replace it.
Interesting I never knew they changed the connecting rods in the previous years, good thing I have a 2016 lol.
Love your videos! You should look into getting a blowoff sound plate. I got one for my 2015 VT and it’s perfectly loud for my liking. And best of all it’s very inexpensive! It’s for the newer civic Si but it fits perfectly on our VT’s. 👍
Would you happen to have a link?
@@Chaair kzread.info/dash/bejne/d2l42KmndtXahag.htmlsi=bskmrUOpBi96LF_o Just follow what he does, and get the correct length bolts. Then you’re good to go! The Sound plate I got was only $25 and it sounds like an expensive BOV lol.
@tristanmac9287 sounds good I will check it out. Thanks amigo!
@@Chaair sorry! I should’ve known you wanted a link to see the product information 🙈 😂
All good my friend, I actually picked one up and will be uploading a video on it with my thoughts of it! Thank you for the suggestion and lmk if you got anymore !
