The factory airbox on the i30 N is made for quietness, not for flow. Forge Motorsport replaces it with an open intake that routes air to the turbo by the shortest path: through a 102 mm aluminium pipe, CNC-bent with no restrictions, and a large Pipercross foam filter. The diameters are set so the engine gets exactly the air it needs – a consistent power gain across the whole rev range without losing low-end torque. A bonus you’ll hear first: a pronounced turbo induction note under acceleration.
Why the Forge induction kit
- 102 mm aluminium pipe, CNC-bent, with a black thermal powder coating that keeps engine heat away from the intake air
- Multi-layer Pipercross foam filter (25 years of motorsport experience) – 60% more flow than the factory filter, washable and reusable
- Forge silicone hoses in your choice of colour: black, red, blue or light blue
- Filter of your choice: multi-layer Pipercross foam or oiled cotton – same price
- On Forge’s dyno (together with their cat-back exhaust): from 275 to 296 HP and from 377 to 420 Nm
- Detailed Forge instructions for installation, without cutting or drilling
Foam or cotton filter?
The foam one (Pipercross) is Forge’s standard choice: multi-layer oil-free foam that catches even fine dust and does not give up in rain or high humidity; it washes with water and a mild cleaner. The cotton one is the classic oiled filter with slightly higher flow and a more open induction sound; it has to be re-oiled after every wash. For everyday driving we recommend the foam one, for the track it makes no difference – both flow far more than the factory airbox.
