Description

TheRenault Megane RS 280/300intake is the result ofwidespread designtrialsthrough dyno testing and flow analysis. It was developed to achievethree mainobjectives:

• Maintain low inlet temperaturesin comparison to other aftermarket induction kits
• Improvedair flow
• Lookaestheticallypleasingandenhancesthe look ofyourengine bay

Our first criteriahas beenmet by enclosing the PRORamfilter with our CAD designed sheet aluminum airbox.The OE location for the airbox is not ideal as it is mounted at the back of the engine bay which inherently gets very warm and so it was crucial in our design to make sure weshieldedas much of the hot side as possible.It was imperative to incorporateboth OEair ducts inour designtoallowas muchcoldair flow to the filter as possible;allthese considerations are in order to keep IATs as low aspossible.

The second objective was met by trialing and testing of different air filters andwe have even gone to the extent of using two differentindependentdynosto make sure the datacollatedwasaccurate. Results showed that weachievedthe best gains withthe PRORamperformance filter.

Unlike other aftermarket intakes our kit utilises a huge velocity stack that in turn houses the filterwhich has been designed with a high quality, high flow, synthetic nanofiber filtration media which is pleated to maximize surface area and in turn increasethe turbosair flow.

When you look at the data, the gains are there to been seen. The Forge Motorsport intake system makes+15bhpimprovement even though the ambient temperature in the dynocellhas risen +3C. The biggest gain we achieved waswiththe combination of bothFMINDK31&FMTIA4. This testwasconducted at the hottestperiodof the day, however it made an outstanding+20bhpalongwith higher torque figures lower in the rev range,thus improving throttle response.

We also took the liberty to test a rival intake from the marketplace to see how that compared, this also worked well and demonstrated further, the need of free-flowing filtration on this vehicle.

The vehicle used for testing was a Renault Megane 280 cup with Stage one K-tecsoftwareand performance exhaustand sports cat.

Testing was completed onLitchfieldsMahadyno,manufactured by the same people who currently supply BMW M sport and MercedesBenz foralltheir engine calibration and Dyno testing.We also usedPerformance Remapin Gloucesterwiththeir VTEC 4 wheel-drive dynamometer. This was toensure all our datahas been achieved with results asaccurate as possibleby conductingalltests on two independent rolling roads.

Finally,theaesthetical challenge to enhance an engine bay which we felt is bland and a bit messy. Obviously, function over form is our number onepriority,however we have triedto produce something which is quite stealthy and classy, but isalsopurposeful.Finished in our black textured powder coating givesthe air box anair ofOE quality. The cold sideofthe airbox has been left open to aid breathing and show off the large PRORamfilter. When taking this product out of the box for the first time you will get to see and feel the quality of this product.Components like the expertly machinedMAF boss and the precision laser cut brackets showcaseour manufacturingexpertiseand reassure the enthusiasts the quality is second to none.

As aby-productof all the above not only will you notice the increased performance but a slight change in your engine acoustics can also be heard. As with all Forge Motorsport products we offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee onall parts of this kit excluding the filter.

A commonly asked question is will this fit a competitors & OE turbo inlet hose intake? The answer is yes it will fit other manufacturers inlet hoses and fits to the original Renault inlet hose.

• MAF BossManufacturedfrom6082aerospace grade aluminium.
• Black anodised& powder coatingfor ultimate protectionand durability.
• PRORAM performanceairfilter which has been designed with a high quality, high flow, synthetic nanofiber filtration media which is pleated to maximize surface area and in turn increase air flow.
• No engine check lights (EML)
• Increased air flow
• The Forge silicone hoses in this kit have been designed to include an expensive inner liner of modified silicone known asFluorosilicone.
• This means the hoses are suitable to be used with either modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.) or air containing oil mist.
• The construction of the hoses has been engineered to exceed that of the OEM fitments, and will enhance any engine bay both technically and aesthetically
• The use of aFluorosiliconeliner ensures that Forge silicone hoses are the clear market leader.
• Lifetime warranty
