Whilst the 8V chassis shares many components with the older 8P, the space available behind the bumper is a different shape and the crash bar has also changed. This required a whole new intercooler and crash bar setup for this latest chassis\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RS3 8V core is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a\u003cstrong\u003ehuge 55% more surface area than stock\u003c\/strong\u003e, and an even more impressive\u003cstrong\u003e94% more volume\u003c\/strong\u003e(8.2 litres increased to 16l litres). The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with Forge Motorsport's\u003cstrong\u003eFMKT024\u003c\/strong\u003eboost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8P chassis, w\u003cstrong\u003ee supply a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar\u003c\/strong\u003ewhich Forge Motorsport modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in Forge Motorsport's standard black crackle finish powder coat for maximum longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the graph below, for both tests Forge Motorsport let the car heat soak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of 36°C), then do a dyno pull from there. This 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the standard car Forge Motorsport tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58°C. With just this intercooler fitted and no other modifications, the same car made 386bhp with a peak inlet temperature of 23°C,\u003cstrong\u003ea gain of 24bhp and a drop of 35°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. Gains on mapped cars will likely be even more impressive as the stock intercooler core really starts to struggle on stage 1 mapped cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains full instructions for installation, which should take around 3.5 hours, and a complete kit which includes everything needed.If your car is fitted with adaptive cruise control, Forge Motorsport can additionally supply you with a billet bracket and fixings to enable the relocation of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – RS3 – 8V 2015-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi – RS3 – 8V Facelift 2017-2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"No ACC Bracket","offer_id":58356015071615,"sku":"FMINT4","price":1592.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"With ACC Bracket","offer_id":58356015104383,"sku":"FMINT4-ACC","price":1627.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/torquelab.eu\/products\/audi-rs3-8v-intercooler-2015-fmint4","provider":"Torque Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
