Cold Air Intake for Hyundai Kona N Line Sport (2022-2023) 1.6L L4 Turbo Engine

Unlock Hidden Turbo Response: Hyundai Kona N Line Sport 1.6L Smartstream Turbo Intake

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for Hyundai Kona N Line Sport owners running the 1.6L Smartstream T-GDi engine who want to eliminate turbo lag, improve throttle response, and hear their turbocharger breathe during daily commutes or spirited weekend drives.

The Turbo Lag Chokehold: You step on the gas to merge into traffic, and your Kona feels like it’s holding its breath. The factory air box is designed for silence, not performance, utilizing a restrictive paper filter and a narrow plastic intake path that creates massive air turbulence. This bottleneck prevents the 1.6L Turbo engine from reaching its target boost quickly, resulting in a muted driving experience and sluggish acceleration.

The Engineering Solution: We engineered this kit to delete the restrictive factory baffles and replace them with a high-velocity 3-inch aluminum mandrel-bent intake pipe. By providing a direct, smooth path for oxygen to reach the compressor wheel, we reduce pumping losses and allow the Smartstream engine to spool the turbo significantly faster. The result is a 10% boost in potential power and a sophisticated induction sound that lets you know the turbo is working.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Flow Gain: Delivering up to a 10% increase in horsepower and torque by reducing intake restriction, unlike "universal" pod filters that actually soak up hot engine bay air.
• Premium Materials: Constructed from high-grade 3-inch aluminum piping, which dissipates heat faster and won’t crack or warp over time like the thin factory plastic or inferior rubber components found in budget kits.
• True Direct Fitment: This is a model-specific bolt-on system using OEM mounting points. Unlike generic kits that require hack-sawing or drilling, this installation is completely reversible and won’t void your factory warranty on 2023-2024 models.
