With Forge Motorsport leading the way in aftermarket products for Hyundai’s N division vehicles we are proud to present our turbo inlet adaptor and intake tract for the Hyundai Elantra 1.6T N Line. The kit comprises of a full plug and play solution with a replacement cast turbo inlet adaptor, CNC machined hose couplers, and silicone high flow inlet hose; which is available in a choice of black, red, blue, or performance blue. The FMTIA15 will not only increase your Elantra’s performance, but it also helps transform the aesthetics of your vehicles engine bay.
The inlet elbow has been enlarged by over 170% to maximise the amount of air that can physically flow to the turbo from the inlet tract. The OEM factory alloy cast elbow is fairly small which has lead us to use our years of our experience in performance induction kits and inlets – we knew this would be one of the key components to target as tuners start to increase the boost levels and performance output of the 1.6L turbocharged combustion engine.
The plastic OEM inlet hose has ribs and steps within the bore causing detrimental turbulence while disturbing and slowing the airflow. The large Forge Motorsport silicone turbo inlet hose has increased flow over the standard item due to the ribs being removed and the capacity having been enlarged. Testing on the dyno certainly represent the huge benefits from such a well-engineered product.
Why did we use silicone?
We also tested in the development stages an oversized aluminium pipe, however, we found it did start to heat soak; this had a detriment to the impressive initial power gains and after the third pull on the dyno we found the alloy pipe conducted too much heat on this application and started to decrease the gains. With the use of silicone, the heat cannot be stored or conducted as effectively meaning even after six pulls, the silicone hose stayed at a steady temperature and did not decrease the power whatsoever.
The Forge Motorsport developed turbo inlet adaptor improves your vehicles airflow in several ways; designed in a similar way to a conventional velocity stack it routes the air more directly into your turbo charger and allows more air to be compressed due to its larger capacity. This has a positive effect on accelerating your vehicle after long deceleration or in between gear changes due to more air being kept within the intake system
Dyno Results
Testing was completed using Performance Remap in Gloucester with their VTEC 4-wheel drive dynamometer. This was to ensure all our data has been achieved with results as accurately as possible by an independent tuner.
As you can see from the dyno results below, peak power was increased from stock by nearly 7 BHP and 12NM of torque when mated to the OEM airbox and standard factory filter. The best news is that there are significant gains across the entire rev range, meaning that the car will pick up quicker and pull the whole way through to redline as TIA15 also benefits from a 17NM of power gain between 2500 RPM and 3000 rpm; this is right as the power comes in and can really change the feel and power delivery when behind the wheel.
After installing a tuning box or re calibrating the ECU with stage one or two tunes, the performance yields can be expected to be a lot higher than the figures stated. Testing on the dyno certainly represent the benefits from such a well-engineered product, this coupled with our lifetime guarantee is just the reason to choose Forge for your Elantra’s performance hardware.
