The development focused on three main goals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow intake air temperatures\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to other aftermarket intakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImproved airflow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylish appearance\u003c\/strong\u003e that completes the engine bay's look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimal intake air temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first goal was achieved by placing the \u003cstrong\u003ePRORam filter\u003c\/strong\u003e in a CAD-designed aluminum intake housing. The original intake housing is located at the rear of the engine bay, where temperatures can easily rise high. Therefore, special attention was paid to preventing hot air entry and providing the most effective thermal protection for the intake housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth original \u003cstrong\u003eOE air ducts\u003c\/strong\u003e have been retained in the design to ensure the most efficient cold air flow to the filter. The aim of these solutions is to keep the \u003cstrong\u003eintake air temperature (IAT) as low as possible\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore efficient airflow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second goal was achieved by testing and comparing several different air filters. To ensure the reliability of the measurement results, the tests were performed on \u003cstrong\u003etwo independent dynamometers\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTest results showed that the best performance benefits were achieved with the \u003cstrong\u003ePRORam Performance air filter\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many other aftermarket intakes, this system utilizes a large \u003cstrong\u003evelocity stack air guide\u003c\/strong\u003e, inside which the air filter is positioned. The filter uses high-quality, high-flow \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic nanofiber filter material\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is pleated to maximize the filtration surface area. This allows for greater airflow to the turbocharger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasured performance benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurement results show a clear performance improvement. The \u003cstrong\u003eForge Motorsport intake achieved a +15 hp power increase\u003c\/strong\u003e, even though the ambient temperature in the dynamometer measurement room increased by 3 °C during the test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greatest performance improvement was achieved by combining \u003cstrong\u003eFMINDK31 and FMTIA4 components\u003c\/strong\u003e. The test was conducted during the hottest part of the day, but an impressive \u003cstrong\u003e+20 hp power increase\u003c\/strong\u003e was still achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, torque increased especially at lower revolutions, which improves the engine's \u003cstrong\u003ethrottle response and reactivity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor comparison, a competing intake system available on the market was also tested. It was also found to perform well, highlighting the importance of an efficient and free-flowing filtration solution in this vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe test vehicle used was a Renault Megane RS 280 Cup\u003c\/strong\u003e, which had K-Tec Stage 1 programming, a performance exhaust system, and a sport catalytic converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTests were conducted on \u003cstrong\u003eLitchfield's Maha dynamometer\u003c\/strong\u003e. In addition, measurements were taken at Performance Remap's \u003cstrong\u003eVTEC all-wheel-drive dynamometer\u003c\/strong\u003e in Gloucestershire. The use of two independent dynamometers allowed for cross-referencing results and ensuring the reliability of the measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStylish and refined design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to performance, the goal has been to improve the appearance of the engine bay.
