Elantra N gets Tuned by SXTH ELEMENT!! 

Lol if I was to give a straight review off of one drive it would be pointless to me. We will drive for a week and update with videos.

Straight up

@@KDMStation any updates?

Yes we have a video coming soon!

Update ?

Did you get one?

Same, it’s gonna be my first car as well.

I’m letting you know 100% you won’t be disappointed. The Elantra n convinced me to sell my gencoupe and I got a veloster N. I can’t wait for you to get yours 🙏🏽

Thank you for that! We appreciate the support and kind words 🙏🏽

Thank you Jasen!

@@KDMStation On the Vin screen you got do you type in the vin of the new ECU and will that code go away?

@@cindysue5474 the ek1 pro already shows the vin registered to the ecu with our correct vin number.

Welcome jasen to the N family here in California

We had lap3 on my wife’s last platform. Proud to made the switch to Sxth. Check them out you won’t be disappointed.

Thankfully with the ek1 you can get tunes emailed and uploaded that way. Stage 1 is for stock with no mods. Once we get intake and fmic and downpipe it will go to stage 2

Yeah the CEL is gone. I’m Not sure if the ek1 pro deleted it when I attempted to through the system cause it was still on the dashboard. But within a few minutes it disappeared so idk if the ecu learned the vin or what.

We have the stock plugs in right now but have the ngk heat range 9’s coming in. And I will look into the mic as well thank you for the recommendation 🙏🏽

Thank you for the love. And we appreciate your support. Thank you.

Thanks brotha, your going to love it!

Thank you Jason! I traded in the genesis due to my engine builders neglect. It was a sad decision but overall I’m happy with what I chose 😬 biggest difference is this is an actual tune rather than the jb4 or afe tapping into sensors and tricking the ecu into thinking it’s seeing stock boost when it isn’t and same thing with all the other variables it tricks the ecu. The ecu tune for us was the best route

Lol just a resonator delete nothing other than that.

I actually didn’t even really bother looking at the gauge while we were driving cause of how much fun it was but lol. But if I remember correctly I think my eye saw 21-23

They have a section you can click on Elantra and then elantra N. I’ve bought a few things from them and I have always seen an Elantra icon.

Yeah sxth already has a dyno showing what numbers it made with just the tune and than their intake. We didn’t make the video to brag about numbers just posted it so people have a basic understanding where this should put them..

Benefits of having a spare ecu is you can swap the stock ecu back in if your worried about the dealer checking for a tune. A majority of the time they don’t even scan the ecu to check. But the only reason we have a cel is because we have the ek1. The cel is no longer there as it was a software cel code for vin not matching. Nothing engine related. Nathan from sxth emailed us another email file with the correct info to fix the issue.

@@KDMStation thanks for that tip ! I've been binge watching and liking some of your other vids now and very appreciative. So is the light gone permanently now ? You just erased it and good to go ? Or does the light come back over time and you just live with it ? ... Which I've done many times in other vehicles, like when i put coilovers in my civic type r and lived with the light haha

@@jasondavis9784 we appreciate the love, thank you for that. And yeah the light is permanently gone now. It was a small kink that our spare ecu wasn’t relaying the vin to the ek1 unit but now everything is golden.

This is with conservative.

Yes as mods come out that is when we will take advantage of that

Thank you 🙏🏽 so for the cel you won’t have that issue like we had. We had the cel due to the vin not matching but this was when the ek1 just came out and sxth was working on the little issues. Now everything is good to go with no issues. You’ll be able to have your stock tune on the device and you won’t need to put in a spare ecu. The device can load the stock tune back onto the ecu.

You are amazing! Thank you for the information!! 😊

You can feel the torque from the tune. Advertised power is 320-340whp so the car feels quick.

This is conservative Crackles not the aggressive option. Stage 1 and correct max is at 7000k now I believe. And the exhaust will only crackle in n mode no eco or normal.

@@KDMStation sweet 😋, thank you sm. Makes me wonder what the aggressive sounds like 🥶

Yes, sxth is the intake we will be waiting on due to the aesthetics of it as well as performance.

@@KDMStation well it looks like the gain is 9-13 hp since you have the tune. I like that SXTH is honest about a zero gain on a stock car. I had the CPLT intake on my 2018 Elantra Sport and because of its stock intake not being efficient it did make a gain on a stock tune. I hope you show the CEL going away after putting in the VIN# because it puts the element of fear/doubt in this product. I would only use that screen only if I needed to do something, other than it's just another screen on the dash that doesn't flow with the stock look, plus it's a distraction...IMHO.

@@klasseact6663 I deleted the code and it hasn’t came back on. I’ll put on at least 100 miles to verify and if it doesn’t come back then it’s nothing To worry about.

@@KDMStation Did you just erase it or did you put the actual Vin number in

@@klasseact6663 I erased it. the ek1 pro shows it has the correct vin to the car so we know it’s linked. When I erased it off the ek1 pro it didn’t go away right away though. So there could be a chance the ecu caught the vin and it went away lol.

Thank you! We actually didn’t use the blue wire tap because we don’t have the ek1 on all the time for gauges sometimes we keep it in the glovebox. But if you did want to use the ignition wire I would tap into an accessory fuse so it only turns on when the car is on. Media some labeled where it’s only on when the car is on.

​@@KDMStationbro donde puedo poner el cable azul en el elantra n es que se queda prendio lo puse en modulo 5 y no se apaga al menos que tenga la opcion de auto apagado en on

Not at all! The only thing you would need for stage 2 is the supporting mods. Which are step colder plugs, downpipe, and hpfp. The rest are just supporting mods that you can add later. And congrats on your new N!

Yes numbers please, and what are the differences based on this canned tune. Sorry but it is a canned tune unless you personally have it dynoed and tuned.

Yeah Emily got the aggressive 😬

We actually found out that we have the conservative pops. So aggressive will be much more… aggressive lol

@@KDMStation if that’s conservative I’m excited to hear the aggressive pops when my ECU comes in this week 😂

@@iamcoryv4144 ... hey man how's the aggressive tune sound ? I too opted for the aggressive and curious hows its gonna sound ?

@@johnw7597 sounds great! It’s kind of hard to describe but the crackles are more common and the exhaust has a deeper sound in my opinion

SoCal Garageworks

Yes we did we are running a .025 gap. We have that info in our spark plug video

They no longer do spare ecu. So it’s the price of the ek1 lite or pro depending on which you’d like. And then whatever tune you choose.

They do have a spare ecu option. You would have to contact sxth for their pricing.

Real diamonds mined from innocent children

The stock ecu is flashable. But I wanted a spare ecu for worst case dealership visits

Yes or have the ability to flash this ecu back to stock and reflash it with the tune after the dealer.

@@KDMStation Well I know for a fact the dealership will have the ability to know if you've flashed the ECU. So maybe it'll be a better idea to reinstall the original ECU if you have to bring the car in for a major repair..

@@Ch12iSx727 yeah that’s why we purchased the spare ecu 😊

Absolutely. Sxth has quite a bit out for the Kona n

Yes the ecu needs to be unlocked. So either sent in to be unlocked or order a spare ecu that’s unlocked for the ek1 to pair too.

No as of now I believe the only option for tuning is an ecu tune.

You should get familiar with the magnuson v. moss act to know how warranty works. They can deny a claim but not void a warranty. And they also have the prove said part caused the defect. But that’s not anything we are worried about 😊

Yes thankfully that’s completely gone now. Depending on your tune it’ll be consistent boost.

Lmao the cel is from vin number not matching which is getting worked out… but yes great tune 🤙🏽

@@KDMStation Did this get worked out? Can you give a little more detail on what caused the CEL?

@@CallOfBooty13 cel was causing by the vin numbers not matching up. We were the first Elantra N running the ek1 pro so we had some small kinks to fix out when we made this video. Now sxth has everything straightened away. You don’t even need to buy a spare ecu anymore like we did. You can flash directly to your oem ecu and keep your stock ecu tune on the ek1 device to flash back whenever you’d like. The cel we have now is from the downpipe. We aren’t running a 2nd o2 sensor due to the oem one binding onto the oem pipe. It’s only there to read that the cat is in place which is now a high flo cat so it threw a cel. It will be fixed once we get a replacement o2 sensor.

Stage 1

Ek1 is around $900 and spare ecu with tune is around $900 as well

Thanks I’m saving . Went poor after getting the car . For 34k$ 🥵

@@tenkayruanaya2554 I feel that lol.

Obviously this is better than jB4 or lap3 tune but could you possibly explain the benefits/difference to a noob to tuning it would be appreciated. Thank u.

“Anything” can void warranty lol

Nope, no warranty is gone. We have a spare ecu that we can swap in at any time.

@@KDMStation pretty sure dealers can work that out no?

@@mharro88 from my previous experience with dealing with the little bit of warranty work we have had to. They never questioned our ecu when we swapped it back in.

its actually kinda slow stock

@@damienfrizzell9394 slow? It keeps up with a type r and basically beats everything else in it's segment on track it's not slow.

They can’t void a warranty but they can deny a claim. This isn’t our first rodeo 🤠

@@KDMStation how would they be able to tell if you reinstall stock ecu?

@@boostlife6370 we did get a check engine light after installing the ecu due to incorrect vin not matching ecu. I’ve deleted the code and it’s no longer popping up. But when you get a cel I’m not sure if it send anything via blue link. If it were too I would just say I was having issues with the battery and play stupid.

@@KDMStation haha I got you. What if you just install the old ecu. I was kind of worried that blue link would monitor those types of things because there gonna loose so much money with warranty claims of tuned cars.

@@boostlife6370 yeah they’ve been doing this with blue link for awhile though since I want to say 13-14 gencoupe did had blue link. We just didn’t have the fancy screen to tell us what’s going on lol. But I’m sure if we put the stock ecu it would be perfect I’m just not sure how long the info is stored in the system. But warranty is always dependent on dealer. If you have a good relationship with them sometimes they are willing to work on claims

There is nobody else to crack into these ecus except sxth, n75, lap3 and alphaspeed. And at the end of the day dyno numbers mean nothing. It’s a great baseline but powerband is where it’s at.

@@KDMStation i'm running N75 tuned excusively by Daniel him self.

@@MegaManX7 a street tune being datalogged is just as good if not better than a dyno tune. Your actually having the car under load unlike a dyno.

@@KDMStation my tune has been tweaked a few times so its not just all dyno numbers. If you know n75 you'll know his tunes are what everyone goes after. People buy the ek1 just to run a n75 tune. I had 300whp on a jb4 tune on the same dyno. I wont argue with ya. Just try a proper tune thats all

I’ve been in the kdm community for 12 years. I know a good tune. Lol n75 and sxth are both good
