Hyundai Kona N ECU Calibration on Spare ECU - Multi-Map - Rolling Anti-Lag

Fits: Hyundai Kona N.

Current lead time

Allow 10–35 days after ordering before you receive a tracking number.

What this is

A new Kona N ECU, calibrated in-house by N75 Motorsports and coded to your car, so there is no downtime and Bluelink works like OEM. Your OEM ECU is never touched; we need only your VIN and transmission type. Our ECUs work anywhere in the world.

This version adds three switchable power levels and rolling anti-lag on the cruise control button; because of that programming, you may lose cruise control function.

Stage 3 — 357 whp on our Elantra N 6-speed test car (Dynojet, STD correction).

Stages

Stock output is around 250–270 whp. Maps are dyno tested by our dealers overseas; we under-list power because fuel conditions vary worldwide.

Stage 2 lists injectors after a large number of recent injector failures, some stuck open.

366 whp / 411 ft-lb with the air-fuel ratio trace (Dynojet, STD correction).

Maps and how to switch

The ECU holds three maps, switched without flashing the car. The three numbers in each set are the stages loaded into map slots 1, 2 and 3.

• 1-2-3: Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3.
• 2-2-2+: Stage 2, Stage 2 and Stage 2+.
• 2+-3-3+: Stage 2+, Stage 3 and Stage 3+.

Pops are selective per map: say which maps get them in your order notes.

Rolling anti-lag

Anti-lag is activated with the cruise control button and shuts off when you release it, adding boost for a rolling 60–130 pull. DCT cars also get 2-step style anti-lag in launch control: aggressive pops and flames that spin the turbo to 17–18 PSI. Assisted launch control adds boost in launch-ready, first and second gear, up to 13 psi standing still.

Anti-lag is aggressive on the engine and turbocharger. Repeated use will damage the motor over time. We do not suggest showing off with it.

Options explained

• 7000/7200 RPM shift (any stage, applied to all three maps): shift point raised to 7000 RPM on DCT cars and 7200 RPM on 6-speed manual cars.
• N Mode pop map: pop sound changed through the ECU, far more aggressive than OEM, N Mode only like OEM. A high-flow catted or catless downpipe is recommended.
• Flame map: pop flames tuned in. The car must be catless. Flames are produced on rev hang.

How it works after you order

1. Order with your map set and options and send us your VIN and transmission type. That is all we need.
2. We code a new ECU to your car, load your three maps and ship it with tracking.

Calibration features

Developed in Canada on our R&D car and test cars overseas with WinOLS, a worldwide tuner network and the full factory definition (damos) for this ECU. Click the badge to verify our WinOLS licence with EVC.

• Fuel delivery: HPFP and fuel maps optimized so the ECU does not pull power or cut fuel under high demand.
• AFR: the factory calibration runs very rich; corrected for more power and better fuel economy.
• Torque, ignition, airflow and VVT: torque maps changed, not just boost; timing optimized for a smoother powerband; air limits and expected manifold charge raised; VVT changed slightly; WOT areas optimized together.
• Turbo management: wastegate duty cycle, pressure application, turbo limits and wastegate opening limits changed; boost increased.
• Overboost: stock is around 18–20 PSI; lifted to around 25 PSI, removed completely on Stage 3 and up.
• Temperature control: full power and boost only once engine oil is up to temperature; coolant fan at 100% instead of 50%; Stage 2 and 3 raise allowed exhaust and intake model temperatures to hold power toward redline.
• Fault prevention and octane learning: primary O2 monitoring never triggers a fault code; no codes deleted, O2 DTCs removed only on request; octane learning disabled by default, left on if you ask.

DCT only

• Interface removal (Stage 2 and up): the DCT's power reduction in certain shifter positions is removed.
• Increased clutch pressure: the ECU requests more clutch clamping load from the TCU via torque and TCU-related maps, logged with Hyundai dealership scan tools.

Before you order

• Run the required mods for every stage in your set. We can tune on the OEM HPFP, but it is a weak point on this car and we suggest replacing it.
• 5w40 full synthetic engine oil and top-tier premium fuel are suggested; power figures are octane dependent.

FAQ

Do I send you my ECU?

No. We code a new ECU from your VIN and transmission type.

Will Bluelink still work?

Yes, it works like OEM on the N75 ECU.

Use and liability notice

Stage 2 and 3 raise OEM temperature limits. N75 Motorsports takes no responsibility for damage caused by lifted temperature limits where the car lacks the supporting mods or runs incorrect fuel, plugs, a charge-pipe leak, non-recommended engine oil, poor maintenance, incorrect or non-recommended WMI fluid, or a pre-existing mechanical issue that becomes far worse on a tune.
