Saw a N-line today

I was at a gas station in park city KS today and saw an ultimate red N-Line getting gas, I thought it looked super cool and I loved the side badge and the dual
exhaust on the far right. I have a N in ultimate red and I see other N’s but I almost never see a N-line for some reason where I live, I think they look super neat and I was super happy to see one :))

I feel like I should’ve taken a photo now, but I didn’t as to not be weird lol, man I wish the N’s had the side badge, that feature is just so cool to me. I was in a jeep but I wished I had my N so I could be like hi look we’re matching colors and trim (sorta, still a N).

Hey, i'm going to tune my 2024 Elantra N to 380whp - 400whp.

I will be using Whoosh's HPFP, a WELDSPEED port injection manifold, 1 step colder spark plugs, a whoosh intercooler, whoosh intake and inlet, a forge oil cooler, powerflex motor mount inserts (to kill wheel hop), and a flex fuel sensor for the ECU so I can use ethanol. I will also be upgrading my clutch to be appropriate for whatever torque I end up with at that level when I tune.

I'm currently looking into a turbo that can handle power at that level and I've landed on the Pure450 turbo as it will give me 360whp reliably, and i'm hoping to push it to 390 - 400 whp. I'm hoping the supporting mods will reduce its stress as much as possible at that power level. I'm considering a turbo blanket as well to help it even more.

I've also been seeking out forged internals, but I've noticed it is super hard to find any information about the N given how new it is. Has anyone tuned past 400 whp and even up to 500 and if so, what internals did you end up using, and did you have to just get a hone or was a bore necessary? So far I've found Molnar Rods for $518.75, and Traum Pistons for $900, but these are just what I think will work and I'm not entirely confident that they will. If you guys could offer me any advice on what internals I should get, that would be awesome. My end goal is to have it dailyable at 400 whp reliably. The PI manifold is due to the stock injectors not being able to keep up at 400 whp and there are no plug and play DI injectors that I can use to solve that as far as I know. Also, if I am forgetting any parts that I would need at that power level, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
