ACL Race Series Rod Bearing Set, tight clearance — eight tri-metal big-end shells for the 2.0 litre Theta II turbo bottom end, machined with a thicker wall so the assembled engine runs 0.025 mm (0.001 in) less oil clearance than our standard set.
Read this before you order: this is a clearance grade, not an undersize bearing. ACL list it on the same table as the standard and extra-clearance sets, all three for a crankshaft at standard journal size. It is the tight mirror image of the extra-clearance set. If your crankshaft has been reground undersize, this is the wrong part.
Who it is for. Two kinds of engine. One is a build where you want a tighter oil film than standard for better control and stability. The other is a crankshaft that measures a whisker under standard from ordinary wear or a light polish, where the thicker shell brings clearance back into specification without a regrind.
Fitment — ACL's own application guide names the i30 N. Hyundai i30 N 2018 on, Veloster N 2019-2022, Elantra N 2022-2026 and Kona N 2022-2023 — 2.0L Theta II turbo (G4KH). Journal and housing dimensions are unchanged from the standard set; only the wall thickness differs.
From ACL: tri-metal construction, with a lead-tin-copper overlay over a nickel barrier layer and a copper-lead-tin lining on SAE1010 high-tensile steel. The higher steel tensile strength improves bearing retention, and the increased eccentricity compensates for bore distortion and helps the hydrodynamic oil film form.
Details: 8 shells, one pair per rod; standard journal size with 0.025 mm (0.001 in) reduced clearance; rod housing bore 51.000-51.018 mm; crank rod journal 47.954-47.972 mm; wall approximately 0.0125 mm thicker per shell than the standard set.
Mixing grades is normal practice. ACL expect builders to mix adjacent grades on one journal to land on a target clearance — one tight shell paired with one standard shell halves the change, to 0.0125 mm (0.0005 in). The thicker shell goes in the most heavily loaded position, which on a connecting rod is the upper half.
Rod bearings only. There are no main bearings in this set.
A note on appearance. Race Series shells arrive with a dark tarnished colouring that can look black, brown or blue. ACL applies no cosmetic tin flash. It is deliberate, and it is not a defect.
Final oil clearance is the engine builder's responsibility. Measure the assembled bearing bores before you commit, and never polish the bearing surface to change it.

Let customers speak for us
Solid shipping ,good communication ,great product 5stars all the way
First let's preface I have tried three other tuners. Not bad mounting or name dropping as they all were solid tunes. But Daniel just has that magic touch when tuning the 1.6 platform.
The car has a buttery smooth power band making the car feel like a larger displacement six cylinder over a turbo charged car. Plenty of fun to be had at any speed or RPM range.
He will take the time to get you dialed in perfectly for your car. No canned tunes here folks. And if you are a EK1 user three tunes for the price of one simply can't be neat.
I received the Stage 2 tune. Here are my thoughts:
- The shifts are buttery smooth
- I love the auto shift @2000rpm when cruising around town; saves me an extra 2-3mpg overall
- Driving in traffic is a dream now, much better than stock. I don't even hear that annoying shifting fork anymore, lol
- Any and all DCT slips are gone
- The increase in torque limit! This opened up my N75 Stage 3 ECU tune; I can feel the difference. The last time I dynoed, I got 289 lb-ft of torque. But it feels much more substantial than that!
- The clamping force is unreal. I did a run from a dig, and it hooked and slammed through the gears all the way to 7k rpm in each gear. Amazing.
Conclusion: This TCU tune is a must-have. If you have an N75 ECU tune, it is an absolute game-changer! Especially with the Redline MT-LV fluid that I'm running. I can't wait to get my retune with water meth injection. Daniel and the rest of the N75 team are the best!
Works like suppose to be fast delivery after installation 5 minutes drive TPMS sensors lights off everything is normal like from factory 👍👍👍

Product was very easy to install and what a difference in shifting also n75 was super awesome to deal with will shop here again
After using the N75 tune for a couple of months, I can confidently say that it offers the best value for your money on the market. I've tried SXTH and LAP3 tunes before, but since switching to N75, I won't look back. With top-notch customer support, it ensures your car performs better, turning heads at every car meet.
Been running stage 2 off that bat and had some problems here and their regarding fueling. Daniel has been with me the whole way, answering questions and adjusting tunes while adding revisions whenever asked. He answers every question I ask even when they don’t relate to tuning.
Highly highly recommend N75!
Daniel's tuning and customer service makes this product a 10 out of 10. I'm new to tuning and he made the process a breeze. I literally laughed out loud when I first drove the car after installing the stage 2 tune. I still can't believe the difference.
Love the intake, fitment is superb, instal was easy and best of all n75’s customer support is stellar and way above average!
