2023 Hyundai i30 N – Stage 1 Performance Servicing & Powerflex Engine Mount Upgrade
This impressive 2023 Hyundai i30 N, equipped with Stage 1 performance tuning, recently visited Kreskas Automotive in Croydon South for routine servicing and a Powerflex performance mount upgrade. Powered by Hyundai's responsive 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the i30 N has established itself as a highly capable enthusiast vehicle, combining impressive factory performance with considerable aftermarket modification potential. With this particular example already benefiting from increased performance, maintaining its mechanical condition and controlling drivetrain movement were important considerations.
​
Performance tuning can increase the torque demands placed on engine and transmission mounting components, particularly during hard acceleration and rapid gear changes. Factory rubber mounts are generally designed to balance drivetrain control with cabin comfort, but additional engine movement can become more noticeable in modified vehicles. Powerflex performance mount upgrades use firmer materials to help control unwanted drivetrain movement, potentially improving throttle response feel, shifting consistency and traction during spirited driving. This can also help reduce the wheel hop sometimes experienced by powerful front-wheel-drive vehicles. Alongside the mount installation, we completed routine servicing to help maintain the engine's reliability and mechanical condition. Regular maintenance is particularly important for tuned turbocharged vehicles, where increased performance can place additional demands on lubricants and supporting components.
