FMINDK54 is the Forge Motorsport cold air induction kit for the Stellantis Group 1.2 PureTech engine. As with all major car manufacturers in recent times, their top priority is to produce more powerful, more efficient yet smaller capacity engines – and the 1.2 PureTech is a significant example of what can be achieved. To accomplish these goals, the 1.2 PureTech has been very well developed which in turn creates more of a challenge for the aftermarket manufacturers and tuners to improve what is already fitted to the vehicle. Nonetheless, this hasn’t stopped us at Forge Motorsport!
Our change in the intake design compared to the OEM design is what helps increase the power and torque. The OEM airbox is situated at the back of the engine and once the engine is up to operating temperature it is susceptible to significant heat soak. Whereas FMINDK54 has its filtration element moved as far away from the heat sources in the engine bay with a more direct cool air feed. Furthermore, featuring our 4-ply silicone hose helps to create a smoother and cooler air tract to the turbo.
Why do we try to decrease IAT’s?
The design changes we made in FMINDK54 all helped to reduce IAT’S. Temperature and volume of air supplied to your vehicles engine that is compressed by the turbo charger, has a better effect on performance when cool, as this is to provide the engine with more oxygen (denser air), thus improving the combustion in each cylinder. In addition, by regulating and reducing the air temperature, it also increases the reliability of an engine by keeping the AFRs (Air Fuel Ratios) in each cylinder at a safe level; this in turn, can increase an engines power due to the air being cooler. A bigger bang is then created within the cylinder, providing the correct amount of fuel is added. This can equate to an increase in BHP and torque.
With this new design, cooler and greater volumes of air able to enter the turbo allowing the PureTech engine to reach peak power and torque sooner in the rev range.
The other and probably most rewarding benefit of this induction system is the change in engine acoustics. As soon as you push hard on the accelerator there is a lovely induction bark which is coupled to some turbo flutter when you let off. It really adds some extra character to the 3-cylinder power unit. Our Forge foam filter transforms the engine bay into a very purposeful proposition – as with all Forge induction systems, FMINDK54 is covered by our unmatched lifetime warranty. You can find a replacement filter here.
