Description

Product Description

  • 129% more volume
  • Huge power gains
  • Massive torque improvements
  • Fabricated in the UK
  • Guaranteed for life
  • Engineered in conjunction with BTCC

If you use a i30N for fast road or have a high performance tune in a hot climate, this product is essential. Utilising our industry leading bar and plate design alongside Solidworks CAD and flow simulation design (Computational Fluid Dynamics - CFD) to develop our high flow cast end tanks, the turbo side end tanks feature an internal divider to ensure the full volume of the stepped core is utilised. 

The bar and plate core has over 129% more volume and an increase of frontal surface area over 71% (over the stock cooler) meaning the Forge Motorsport intercooler is the largest currently available on the market. To ensure we deliver optimum cooling efficiency, the development team created a fabricated ducting system that has been skilfully integrated into the superior design of this product.

The inlet and outlet sizes have been increased in diameter to 65mm, giving an increase of 27% more volume over the stock cooler to give perfect flow. The development team also added a custom hard pipe increasing the diameter by 14 mm to 64mm - up from the factory 50mm. This replaces the stock factory pipe on the hot side to ensure this package gives you all you need for maximum performance gains on high levels of tune. The boost pipe and intercooler come in our standard black textured finish powder coat for maximum longevity.

 

 

During our extensive testing, we let the car heat soak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of around 40°C), we then did a dyno pull from this point, in doing this it gives a more consistent result and reflects real-world driving conditions more accurately. You can easily see the Forge intercooler cools much quicker and delivers a much greater drop in temperature compared to OEM.

After more than six pulls on the dyno we still had super safe IATs and the Forge Motorsport intercooler gave results of 24°C, halving the factory’s intercooler intake temps from 48°C. These tests took place in relatively cold conditions with an ambient dyno cell temperature of 15°C proving how inefficient the stock intercooler is. In the summer months, the stock intercooler along with higher inlet air temperatures will have a hugely negative impact on the engine’s performance. In these conditions, the engine management will retard the ignition, resulting in a lower powered engine as temperatures rise and the ECU then pulls out the timing to stop detonation. On a mapped vehicle, the results will be even more detrimental and can lead to possible premature engine wear.

This intercooler combined with our intake, and a quality aftermarket cat back exhaust will deliver you unparalleled levels of performance. The final testing results were very notable - not only did the Forge Motorsport intercooler halve the IATS, it also significantly increased both power and torque over Hyundai’s claimed figures of 275bhp and 278lb.ft of torque, making an extremely impressive 307bhp and 347lb.ft.

The Forge Motorsport front mount intercooler has all the necessary hardware to install the kit in approximately 2.5 hours depending on competency and tools available.

I bought this bad boy ready for my remap, ran it on the car along with the boost pipe upgrade, without the remap and the car ran flawlessly so no problems there. The team when I emailed a few questions were very helpful and prompt. The intercooler itself is a work of art, It’s HUGE I laughed when I took it out the box BUT it fits perfectly. Looks great hiding just behind the lower grill not in your face but if you no you no. I went for the unpainted as I think it looks a bit more stealth, the OE cooler also being imparted. The instructions were clear and easy to follow I did the whole job on my drive up some homemade wooden ramps in about 5 hours and I took my time. I Highly recommend this product for your i30n

Made a big difference to cooling and airflow, combined with the big boost pipe my throttle response and torque was a lot smoother

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.

This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.

Hello, Do i need to Tune the car, or can i just switch this part at home and there is no need for re-maping the car. Thank you.

Hello , the intercooler needs no additional tuning to fit to the vehicle , even on a standard vehicle the forge intercooler will improve performance and increase power. while if you choose to Re-calibrate the engines ecu in the future the yields of power the intercooler will produce are far more advantageous than the original manufactures item.we offer a Remap and installation service at forge HQ , we are happy to advise on any aspect of performance products we offer for the Hyundai platform and would welcome any inquiry. please do not hesitate to contact luke.amon@forgemotorsport.co.uk if you require any further information.

Does this part fit a 2019 I30N?

Bonjour, dans la notice vous ne parlez pas du liquide de refroidissement. Mais comme le liquide s'évacue en enlevant les tuyaux, j'aimerais savoir combien de litre de liquide de refroidissement il faut. cordialement clément Crespel

Bonjour, Pour installer le FMINT15, vous n’avez PAS besoin de retirer les tuyaux de liquide de refroidissement.

Hello, for fitting the FMINT15 you do NOT need to remove any coolant pipes.
