The FMINT27 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 between FMINT27 and FMINT31. 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's dedicated part is the FMINT31. 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 FMINT15 instead.
