Fits: Hyundai Elantra N, Kona N, Veloster N and i30 N (2.0T Theta II). The Elantra N and Kona N are a direct bolt-on. The Veloster N and i30 N need our custom hot pipe for a fully bolt-on fit.
What this is
The HT450 is our made-to-order hybrid turbocharger for the Hyundai N 2.0T Theta II platform. We take a brand-new Elantra N turbocharger and build it up: bored out, fitted with a larger, optimized billet compressor wheel, and port-and-polished internal compressor components. The turbine inlet is 5 mm larger, the compressor inlet is 9 mm larger, and it keeps the OEM bearings. Each unit is built to order in Canada.
These turbochargers take the Theta II engine to 400 whp and up. They hold up to 28 psi at 7500 rpm, the mechanical limit of the turbo and about 9 to 10 psi over the OEM turbo. Our own Elantra N 6-speed test car made 490 whp and 464 ft-lb.
We develop the ECU calibration for this turbo in-house and recommend running it. See our Elantra N calibration, Elantra N calibration (2024-2026) and Kona N calibration. You also need a supporting downpipe, such as our catless downpipe (Elantra N and i30 N Sedan) or our 4-inch downpipe with high-flow cat.
Why this turbo
We build power on the car's OEM-style turbo path rather than going to a custom exhaust manifold and a big turbo. The hybrid route needs no engine work: owners make mid-400 whp on OEM sealed blocks, because the N 2.0T is strong from the factory.
The build (billet wheel, port and polish, bored out) gives a broad powerband that holds set boost to redline with no mid-range fall-off, 26 psi all the way to 7000 rpm. It is intended for track use and built to be reliable there: one owner has run this turbo for over 18 months, and owners have run it hard on track for 40,000 miles at 27 psi.

Options
- Vehicle: Kona N, Elantra N or Veloster N. i30 N owners choose the Veloster N option and add the hot pipe.
- Add Custom fit Veloster N Discharge Pipe (Hot Pipe): No or Yes. This is the discharge pipe that makes the HT450 a fully bolt-on fit on the Veloster N and i30 N. Yes is offered with the Veloster N option only.
- Custom build options: powder coating, custom heat shielding and more can be added when you order.
Installation
The HT450 is completely bolt-on, with no fabrication. On the Veloster N and i30 N, the hot pipe makes it a full bolt-on swap. Before install, prepare the car with a downpipe, an intake and water-methanol injection, plus spark plugs; we suggest a high-pressure fuel pump. This is a track and competition part, so follow the rules where you drive.
Because each turbo is built to order, email info@n75motorsports.ca before ordering with your car, transmission and full build so we build the right unit.
FAQ
Will it fit my i30 N?
Yes. Choose the Veloster N option and add the hot pipe.
Can I run this on a DCT car?
No. A DCT cannot handle hybrid power levels with an aggressive tune; TCU tuning and upgraded DCT clutches are still early-stage.
Do I need a tune?
Yes. We develop the ECU calibration for this turbo in-house and recommend running it. See our Elantra N, Elantra N (2024-2026) and Kona N calibrations.
