On my stock Veloster N DCT my fastest 0 to 60 times with launch control have been on a lower than 3000 RPM setting. I have gotten 4.8 seconds with launch control set to 2600 twice.
Nice! I will have to try at a little lower RPM. I plan to do a video testing all the RPMs to determine what can get you to 60 fastest. Thanks for watching!
Agreed yes I found the lower rpms got me better hook up. This gentleman has aftermarket tires that I think are a little bit harder than the factory tires. The factory tires are very soft and have great grip but they are like erasers. They don't last long, And they are stupid expensive.
@@LordHolley I'm not sure if you're referring to me or not, but I don't have aftermarket tires yet. I do have aftermarket wheels, but kept the stock Michelin PS4S tires. You are correct tho, they are STUPID expensive to replace lol.
I have been waiting for it to warm up around here to really send it, but I have launched a couple times and found best success on 3500rpms. I am fairly sure this car can do a 4.7/4.8 0-60 in the right conditions. Keep up the great content.
Thanks for watching!! I agree, it can definitely get below 5 seconds. I am going to do another video testing different RPM's and seeing how changing them effects the times.
As a loooong time FWD drag racer, record holder several time with several platforms etc etc I have to totally agree with you. 3000rpm was not enough to keep the turbo on boil. I was going to say 3500rpm based on this video as well. With more tire, 4000rpm all day. While you don't want to blow the tires off, light wheelspin is actually much quicker than a bog. Same for light wheel chatter - not tooth loosening wheel hop - along with that light tire spin, The car obviously needs more tires. Both in size (If it can fit without major hacking) and compound. Perhaps a nice set of drag radials. 😁
@@JViello I was thinking to at least lower tire pressure or get a drag radial or atleast R888's for the front. Then bump the launch up to atleast 3800. It would be interesting to see what these do with and intake, downpipe and exhaust, drag radials, the seats and the spare tire out as well as a tune and meth or e85.
@@jimmyjohnson7883 Oh heck yeah...just dropping pressure will help...but unfortunately with no sidewall not as much as you might think, same with a little burnout to heat them up. Nothing crazy, just a little something to heat them up. With a good drag radial, you're probably looking at 4500rpm if it'll go that high. With slicks in high power cars I'm dumping the clutch at 6,000-7,000rpm all day. If this car has a close coupled cat, a downpipe will make a big difference. Cats hanging off the turbine outlets just kills the fun. E85 is another planet! Seriously, like forget it...You can get soooo aggressive with the tune on E. That helps when you are close to running out of turbo because you can find a lot of power on E in the tune compared to pump gas. Best thing that ever happened to turbo cars! LOL
There’s some stuff out to show NGS really only effects the low RPM so launching at low RPM usually gets better times w/ NGS on. I consistently get below 5s 0-60mph on Veloster N
Finally.. someone that explains "get on the gas." I've had a Kona N for a month and just recently thought I would go out and give the launch control a whirl.. only to discover I was too dumb to make it work. Thanks!
That 100% brake push is what a lot of people don't know - so they bang about how this launch control is not working as it should etc.. But anyway - interestingly I also always got worse time with NGC engaged - which is a paradox since it is supposed to provide some overboost. But anyway cool video
Thank you so much for putting this up! The number without using the launch control is the one I've been looking for, because it's more relevant to real world driving.
Nice runs. I have a veloster N and 5.0 sec is my quickest on regular roads and that was without launch control or ngs. My car does much better without launch control. I think the launch control works best on prepped surfaces.
@@cyber.e.n I get way too much wheel spin and wheel hop using launch control no matter what rpm I set it at. I think it's just harder for me to feather the throttle cause it's already to the floor with launch control. Just a personal preference for me I suppose.
I had my car for almost 2 months before I realized I was not using the launch control correctly at all. I was so excited when I figured it out it was like I got a whole new car again lol. It does suck that it is so difficult to turn on.
Nice.. maybe try to launch at dif/lower rpm to see differences. It’s torquey at low rpm.. I dunno ha, I don’t own one yet but next month hopefully I’ll have mine.
G’day pal, I don’t have a Elantra N or Sedan N we call in Australia, but I do have the Kona N in performance Blue…. Thanks for for the info you supplied and love the look of your car. 👍
For whatever reason those built in timers tend to be optimistic so... Draggy's have been proven to be very accurate, and they are cheap and easy to use. You can also do roll on acceleration testing 100 to 200. That is far more accurate for measuring performance.
There are companies that have tunes. However, I don’t think another 2k in launch control would be beneficial. Launching at a higher RPM is just going to lead to more wheel spin/hop IMO.
Try launch control with 2800rpm and NGS on the second gear not at the launch.. Many people use NGS at the launch and will see wheel hopping. But try on the second gear, you will see the stronger pull as the front tires get planted on the ground.
I’m getting some serious wheel hop on the yellow Power Flex lower insertsat 3000 rpm.Hoping after installing the other two mount replacements it will stop.✌️
Using LC in my GLI is a simple matter of dropping the tranny into Sport or Manual, depressing the brakes, revving the engine up above 2000 RPMs and dumping it. Heat soaking is only an issue if I launch the car multiple times in a short period, but I can register sub-five second 0-60 times fairly consistently. With nothing more than a stage 1 low torque tune and no other mods except for summer tires my best time is 4.5 sec. But these N’s are no joke fast cars. Hyundai is killing it lately. Modded they’ve got to be genuinely scary.
So without the super easy Launch Control engagement that you can easily replicate and utilize at every stoplight, you would be hard pressed to beat a Toyota Camry from a light (0-60 5.7)? 😅 Sorry, I couldn't help it. I do love this car and it is impressive. At least from a roll, it can put the power down on demand without the huge theater production to useuanch control. Nice car man! I turn and look every time I see one and that digital dash is sweet.
I mean, almost a full second 0-60 faster, and over a second faster in the 1/4 mile (13.2 EN vs 14.3 TRD Camry) I wouldn’t classify as “hard pressed” to beat lol. But thanks for watching!!
I think it can hit that stock anyway, but yes, 2nd being a touch longer would help. When I get my tuned ECU I am going to have them raise the redline 500RPM which should help as well
@@cyber.e.nnice video bro 👊. I do got a question though. You said ecu tune. Who did you end up going with and what stage tune did you get? Also how much did the 0-60 improve on the tune
Hmm this is intersting. I will have to give this a try. I've seen others do it exactly like I did and not get wheel hop that bad. I genuinely think it was becuase that road had some dust and dirt on it that cause the tires to not hook as good. Thanks for the tip!!
@@cyber.e.n I also do this in my Veloster N DCT. I activate NGS right when I'm about to shift into 2nd gear or right after, that way you get minimal wheelspin from launch control and a slightly longer gear to start your NGS on.
Also I follow another guy he installed a different engine mount bushings can’t recall correctly which helped a lot with the wheel hop maybe look into that if you haven’t already it might even be two polyurethane mounts can’t remember but if I find the video I’ll post it. This made me want a N so I will work my ass off for one
In the first 2 runs (w/out LC and w/ LC) it was getting wheel spin in the 1-2 shift and in the 3rd run (w/ LC and NGS) it was wheel hopping in the 1-2 shift.
@@cyber.e.n Ahh, that makes sense. My daughter just ordered one of these after I recommended it to her (she's treating herself, just graduated college and first real job hehe) She's pretty excited for it.
I mean, it was 3 completely different scenarios lol. No car produced is going to hit the exact same 0-60 time every single time lol. Also, what other performance sedan for $35k can even hit 60MPH in 5 seconds?
@@bradleyhovan9390 Sorry, should have been more specific. What NEW performance sedan can hit 60MPH in 5 seconds? I'll wait... That time you state is very unlikely IMO. The s70 was only produced from 1998-2000 and the fastest one (1998 version) has a posted 0-60 time of 6.4s. So perhaps you got your numbers backwards? Also, just to keep it fair, if the s70 was new, it would cost $45k today (retailed for $28k in 1998) vs the EN which cost $35k, so your point is still invalid lol.
@@cyber.e.n I figured by including a turbo cost you’d understand it’s not stock. If you’re the type of person that values NEW empirically… that’s fine. As for the cost, in 1998 you could’ve just got a 1970s car with a big block and said the same thing lol
