i20N performance upgrades
Following up on the i30Nās success, Hyundai released the i20N the 2021. Offering the acclaimed N recipe in a more compact hatchback, the i20N was immediately a hit. The i20N features a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an output of 150kW/275Nm mated to a 6-speed manual. With a curb weight of only 1,190kg, the i20N is nothing short of a giant killer.
The i20N has endless tuning potential and Hyundai N Tuning offers everything you need to transform your i20N into the ultimate pocket rocket. Below, we take a look at what we offer for the Hyundai i20N. All products are available for supply and fitment right here in QLD at our Brisbane workshop.
Intake
Intake upgrades are some of the most important supporting mods you can install when it comes to tuning. Hyundai N Tuning offers a full intake upgrade solution for the Hyundai i20N thank to Forge Motorsport.
Forge Turbo Inlet: https://hyundaituning.com.au/product/turbo-inlet-for-hyundai-i20n/
The Forge Turbo Inlet Adaptor and Intake Tract for the Hyundai i20N is a full plug and play kit that includes a replacement cast turbo inlet adaptor, CNC machined hose couplers, and a silicone high flow inlet hose. The size of the inlet elbow is larger by over 170% to maximise the amount of air that can physically flow to the turbo from the inlet tract. The silicone inlet hose also removes the ribs and steps in the factory inlet hose for improved airflow.
Forge Induction Kit: https://hyundaituning.com.au/product/induction-kit-for-hyundai-i20n/
The Forge Induction Kit to suit the i20N features a CAD designed, laser cut, and precision folded heat shield thatās designed to form a barrier between the air inlet tract and radiant heat from the engine. This helps duct the cold air to the air filter, to help preserve low intake temperatures, which in-turn creates more power.
Exhaust
Upgrading exhaust components on your i20N not only means a more aggressive exhaust note, but also more tuning potential. If youāre looking to get the most out of your i20N, Hyundai N Tuning offers a full exhaust system to suit the i20N thanks to our friends at XForce.

The result is improved throttle response and increased power output with the added benefit of a more aggressive exhaust note.
XForce Varex Catback Exhaust System: https://hyundaituning.com.au/product/hyundai-i20-n-varex-valved-cat-back-exhaust-system/
The XForce Catback System to suit the i20N is constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel featuring 2.5-inch pipe work and aggressive twin 4-inch angle cut tips to not only sound great, but look great as well. The kit is also a Varex valved system for full control over exhaust volume.
