Actually the surbo thing is not necessary, and the improvement can be neglected. the intake air tunnelling in will not have effect when it reaches the end of ur intake manifold. Air spiral cannot make a 90 degree turn fren, it will oni spiral up to the part just after ur TB. When going into the 4 individual piping at the end of the TB, it will not have anymore spiral effect. If you have a chance, take at look at the Toyota 20V intake manifold, its awesome, factory spec have a spiral intake piping, spiral directly towards the 4 TB hehe. For elantra, we have 1 TB supplying air to 4 ducts via a 90 degree angle, so no use using the spiral. Maybe you can try removing ur surbo and see the pick up got difference.

The best and most simple way to get more pickup power or improve FC is:
1. More air inside ur tyres, maybe pump 230kpa (this is wat i do), improve the FC too

2. Carry the less load as u can

3. Dun let the gearbox change gear auto mode, i use the lever to control when i want to change gear to overtake.

4. so far i feel shell gives the best mileage

5. make sure ur extractor is not leaking, elantra extractor prone to leaking

6. remove the factory secondary airbox (inside ur fender), air intake will travel much smoother.

7. Denso iridium plugs can offer up to extra 20km per full tank for my car

8. always use OEM plug wires, those thick no brand don't offer any power improvement, but FC bad too. Unless u take Nology or NGK, those offers power improvement but i am not sure FC got affected or not. But Nology wires dun match with iridium plugs.

9. dun overfill ur auto-oil, gearbox will be damn heavy.

10. bypass the TB coolant intake hose, in hot countries no advantage.

11. bypass the PCV valve hose from going back to the intake manifold.

12. get a high flow drop in filter

more advance technique for NA engines:
hydrogen mixture air intake
heated fuel rail
heated then cooled down air intake

1st n 2nd item can improve mileage average 50% but not easy to implement and scare jpj kacau cos its modifying combustion

3rd item is still in testing, dun know how much good it can do in real world, but in theory, it could improve at about 20% FC

after some sad posting, here is what I promised.

Yu's report on bodykit upgrade.

Send for tuning before any started


Installation of kits at the workshop




Blitz side skirts


3/4 view




touch up


Bring it out for a sunbath?


Veilside spoiler + TRD rear lips


Realise the centra pole antenna? Yu's DIY work to re-locate the antenna because the Veilside spoiler block the Antenna at the rear


yes, you are right, bonnect mod as well


take a closer look, Evo 4 vented


Front look, TRD front lips


Before install wheel arch, just do the knocking


wheel arch touch up, Toyota WISH wheel arch


Send for spray work


Spray work preparation, uninstall all unessery stuff
TRD Toyota Wish wheel arch. After the base coat, still touching up




cover it up, Opsss! miss out some thing, touch up again


spray it baby: spray in progress


TADA....

Kum, the combination of Denso Iridium Plugs & K&N Filters did some ass-kicking to my car & now it feels much more responsive. I wonder if doing Voltage Control & Grounding would further improve the performance & most important better FC...any indications??? How much better?

     

scoupe

hey that is one mean looking coupe. it looks awsome

dartango:
yeah the Pivot VS and additional grounding will improve the torque and FC. This item use together is confirmed to offer improvement.

That iridium will roughly last you 40000-50000 km before the next plug change.

btw, Yu's Coupe is 210hp under the hood.
