This is Forge Motorsport's front-mount intercooler for the facelifted Mk3.5 i30 N. It carries over the design Forge developed for the earlier Mk3 car with a few changes to suit the revised bodywork, and Forge points out that the facelift turbocharger runs more boost and flows more air, which makes the restrictive factory cooler more of a limit than it was before.
By Forge's figures the bar-and-plate core holds over 129% more volume and presents over 71% more frontal area than the standard unit, fed through high-flow cast end tanks with a divider on the turbo side. The inlet and outlet grow to 65mm, a 64mm hot-side hard pipe replaces the 50mm original, and a fabricated duct guides air through the core. This is a facelift-specific part and will not go onto a pre-facelift Mk3.
Features
- Bar-and-plate core construction, not tube-and-fin
- Forge quotes over 129% more core volume and over 71% more frontal surface area than the stock cooler
- High-flow cast end tanks developed with CAD and CFD, with a turbo-side internal divider so the full stepped core is used
- Fabricated ducting system integrated into the design to route air through the core
- Inlet and outlet enlarged to 65mm, which Forge rates at 27% more volume than stock
- Supplied with a 64mm hot-side hard pipe in place of the 50mm factory pipe
- Black textured powder-coat finish on both the intercooler and the boost pipe
- Forge's own dyno testing recorded 24 C intake temperature against 48 C on the factory cooler
Fitment
Hyundai i30 N, Mk3.5 2021- Facelift. Forge also lists the Hyundai Veloster N 2021- (Facelift) under compatible vehicles for this part, and the fitting instructions are shared with Forge's facelift Veloster N cooler. Forge states no gearbox restriction on this listing and does not call out DCT separately; for the facelift Veloster N where DCT coverage is spelled out, Forge has a dedicated part. Note for North American buyers: the i30 N and i30 Fastback N are not sold in Canada or the United States, so in this market the relevant car for this part is the facelift Veloster N.
Does not fit: This is the Mk3.5 facelift part and does not fit the pre-facelift Mk3 i30 N of 2017-2020, which takes Forge's separate pre-facelift cooler instead.
