Following on from Forge's very successful intercooler for the RS3 8P chassis, the Forge intercooler for the RS3 8V chassis builds on our reputation for delivering cores that offer real-world increases in power and temperature drops.
The kit contains full instructions for installation, which should take around 3.5 hours, and a complete kit which includes everything needed.
Notes:
- Compatible with the Pre-Facelift and Facelift RS3 8V Models
- Re-uses your existing hoses or you can choose from Forge's own uprated hoses and clamps as an option
- If your car is fitted with adaptive cruise control, we can additionally supply you with a billet bracket and fixings to enable the relocation of the ACC radar. Simply select the ACC option in the drop down menu above. No re-coding of the unit should be necessary.
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.
The RS3 8V core is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a huge 87% more surface area than stock, and an even more impressive 133% more volume. The end tanks are made with integrated pipes in order to retain the stock boost hoses, though you can also replace the hoses with our a silicone boost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8P chassis, this kit comes complete with a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar which Forge modify in house in order to accept the new larger core, then finish both the crash bar and core in our standard black crackle finish powder coat for maximum longevity.
On the standard car Forge tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58ºC. With just this intercooler fitted and no other modifications, the same car made 386bhp with a peak inlet temperature of 23ºC, a gain of 24bhp and a drop of 35ºC. Gains on mapped cars will likely be even more impressive as the stock intercooler core really starts to struggle on stage 1 mapped cars.
Optional: Audi RS3 (8V) 2015-on Boost Hoses FMKT024 – Audi RS3 (8V chassis), and Audi TTRS (8S)
A set of four boost hoses and air box coupler hose for the Audi RS3 and Audi TTRS - Please note the airbox hose (centre of the kit image) does not fit the DNWA and DAZA engine codes. This hose kit includes the intercooler inlet and outlet hoses (two largest hoses seen in the kit image), throttle body hose located at feed into alloy inlet manifold elbow (straight reducer seen in the kit image), and turbo outlet hose (two smallest hoses in the kit image, one being an alternative for the facelift 8V models).
The Forge silicone hoses in this kit are Fluorosilicone lined to prevent oil vapour penetration throughout the inner hose wall. Fluorosilicone lining also renders the kit suitable to be used with either modern long-life coolants or Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.).
The use of a Fluorosilicone lining ensures that Forge silicone hoses are the clear market leader.
This durable Forge Motorsport silicone hose kit has been designed to withstand pressures experienced in both tuned and remapped Audi RS3 and TTRS engines, long outlasting the original hoses. This high quality hose kit is covered by the limited lifetime Forge Motorsport warranty, keeping you on the road and ahead of the pack!
This set of hoses is available in red, blue or black finish, an added aesthetic option for this high quality hose kit.
