Hyundai i30N RaceChip 320HP REVIEW POV Test Drive on AUTOBAHN & ROAD by AutoTopNL

**Unveiling the Performance Upgrade of the Hyundai i30**

In this article, we will delve into the world of performance upgrades, specifically focusing on the Hyundai i30. The car has been enhanced with a new tune by Race Chip, which significantly boosts its power output and enhances its overall driving experience.

The first aspect to note is the exterior design of the race-ship. As mentioned in the review, "nothing has changed" from the stock i30, but this does not mean that it lacks visual appeal. The steering wheel with driving mode buttons is still present, as well as a critical 6-speed manual gearbox. This manual transmission provides a snappy and engaging driving experience, making it ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate the art of shifting gears.

One of the standout features of the race-ship is its 320 horsepower output, which surpasses the stock i30's 353 Newton meters by an impressive 171 Newton meters. This significant increase in power is thanks to the addition of a high-performance downpipe, which not only improves sound but also enhances performance. The reviewer notes that the downpipe adds about 10-15 horsepower to the car, making it a worthwhile investment for those who want to push their i30 to its limits.

In terms of driving dynamics, the race-ship boasts a limited-slip differential, a 6-speed manual gearbox with snappy shifting, and adaptive suspension. The reviewer praises the adaptive suspension, which allows drivers to switch between different driving modes, including Sport+ mode. This feature provides a more aggressive driving experience, making it ideal for those who want to push their car to its limits.

However, one aspect of the race-ship that requires attention is its weight. With an estimated 1,429 kilograms, the i30 can feel quite heavy, especially when driven at high speeds or on the Autobahn. This is a common criticism of the stock i30, and the reviewer notes that this aspect of the car was also present in the review of the stock i30.

Despite its weight, the race-ship's performance upgrade makes it an impressive car to drive. The reviewer notes that the car struggles at high speeds and above 2,500 rpm, but with the new tune, these issues have largely been resolved. In fact, the car has already achieved a top speed of 250 km/h, which is significantly faster than the stock i30.

One of the standout features of the race-ship's driving experience is its sound. The reviewer notes that the car sounds "very cool" and "dark," with a louder exhaust note that provides a more engaging driving experience. This is thanks in part to the high-performance downpipe, which not only improves performance but also enhances the sound.

The reviewer concludes that the race-ship is an impressive upgrade for the Hyundai i30, pushing it firmly into the realm of its main competitor, the Honda Civic Type-R. With 320 horsepower output and a range of advanced driving features, this car is sure to appeal to enthusiasts who want to experience the best of both worlds.

**Additional Features**

* The race-ship's performance upgrade has been achieved with the help of Eibach Springs, which provide a sportier suspension setup.

* The car's adaptive suspension allows drivers to switch between different driving modes, including Sport+ mode, which provides a more aggressive driving experience.

**Comparison with Other Cars**

* The race-ship's performance upgrade has eliminated many of the issues present in the stock i30, including struggles at high speeds and above 2,500 rpm.

we are taking a look at this very cool you know I thirty and by race chip so I'm going to walk around it show you all the stuff that race chip has done and then we'll take it for a drive along this road towards the older man for an autumn amber lost with this car as well but before we begin I just want to show you our new watch this is it it's called the pilota that's the name of the watch limited to 50 pieces a very nice new leather which is super soft cool details like this brand on the clasp and this blue logo here and the blue stopwatch hand so check out ignition collection.com if you want to see more and check it out so let's begin with the i30 n it is dark grey we drove the stock one and it was red which was sort of fun fun whole touch appearance and if you want to check out that review click up here I'm not going to talk about the stock you and I are through a 30 n I'm just going to talk about what race chip has done and how it has changed the car so sort of compared to stock we've got 19-inch og racing wheels llegará h LT which are very cool with red and brake calipers behind them we've got a lot of black and orange striping down the side race chip logo orange stripe on the mirror cap as well with a ratio blow go it also has a bar suspension so it's 15 millimeters lower than the stock eye 30 M which is already 8 millimeters lower than talk i 30 so this is actually 23 millimeters lower than a stock i 30 which is pretty much that is a lot o is erasing as I said it has an HTS down pipe and that makes sure that the sound is even better because the stock I 30 and already sounds pretty crazy but this is a bit darker a bit more full-bodied sound with really loud bangs as well and we'll take a look under here there's the engine 2 litre turbo with 275 horsepower stock but because this has the race GTS black it actually has 320 horsepower and 524 Newton meters of torque which is a lot we can use these buttons to switch between the modes so this is off efficient sports and race of course we're going to do it in race and you can also use the app but we've showed you that a lot in the past so just thought I'd show you that you can use the buttons on the race ship itself as well interior wise nothing has changed still very cool steering wheel with these driving mode buttons and it actually has a heated steering wheel critical 6-speed manual of course really nice gearbox which you know if you have seen the stock I thirty and review I made started up so this is in normal mode I think yeah and if we switch to end mode all right so let me just rev it in normal mode little bit raw speed and if we switched you and a lot darker and very loud bangs very cool and of course the HTS downpipe also helps with the power but i'll tell you some more about that when we start driving all righty let's go we are just going to started and all righty we're just going to start in n mode of course for the best experience which also means we've got the ref matching function activated and as I said that's out because it has a valve control exhaust and an HTS down pipe which really improves the sound just gives it a look more body when it comes to sound and the performance gets a little more body as well with this relationship GTS black I mean stock it has 353 Newton meters and this has 524 so that's one hundred and seventy one new two meters more than stock they actually told us that they did some tests with just a race chip GTS black not the downpipe and this downpipe actually adds about 10 to 15 horsepower so it's worth considering getting one of those if you are getting something like a race chip and you could go even further by upgrading your intercooler which would improve performance even more because Inlet temperatures on this car are getting quite high actually so I think that would do what a lot for this car but let's talk about the driving because if you have seen the review of the stock eye 30 M I love everything about this car when it comes to driving it hardware wise we've got a limited slip diff it has a great very snappy six-speed manual gearbox which clicks into place it just feels lovely steering feels good suspension is quite firm but it it it's but it's actually adaptive so you can switch between the driving modes and the damping changes as well so Rea ship has installed Eibach Springs it just has the stock dampers so you still have that adaptive suspension even with this lowering kit but one of the things I didn't like about the stock either at the end is that it weighs fourteen hundred and twenty-nine kilos which is a lot and you sort of feel that weight when you drive it and with this power upgrade to 320 horsepower add 524 Newton meters that actually improves a lot all about performance well the stock one sort of have problems at the higher speeds and at the top of the rev range and it's it felt a little out of breath really keeps going we struggle to get 2:45 in the stock one but we've actually already done a couple of reps we got the 250 quite easily so that's 250 which is the claimed top speed of this car so that also improves so in essence this race tip sort of helps with the only real drawback of the i30 and which was the fact that it felt quite heavy and that was the case both you know on an ice road as well as the Autobahn but still you know this this car this I 13 is a magnificent effort by unite you know it's their first hold actions the first and label car is the first performance car it is super impressive I'm just going to switch to custom which is our sort of baal-zebub mode with everything in Sport+ except for the suspension which is it normal which is great and the great thing about this race ship about this tune is that most of the power game is delivered around 4000 rpm which is you know around the the area you use the most when you drive it regularly so that is when you're really going to feel that power increase just with regular driving short shifting and at HDS now vibe really improves the sound it is even better so great package by race chip I really like it I really like the i30 and to begin with but this just pushes it over the edge off you know a real favorite hatchback so with this tune 320 horsepower is exactly as much as all the Civic type-r which i think is its main competitor so they are they really are on the same level now and I think that is worth considering getting a race ship if you have a 930 n so thank you very much for watching I hope you enjoyed this video you can subscribe buckling the
