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\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe RS3 8V core is a huge 640x250x100 and of bar and plate design. This gives it a\u003cstrong\u003e huge 55% more surface area than stock\u003c\/strong\u003e, and an even more impressive \u003cstrong\u003e94% more volume \u003c\/strong\u003e(8.2 litres increased to 16l litres). 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 \u003cstrong\u003eFMKT024\u003c\/strong\u003e boost hose set if you so wish. Just like on the 8P chassis, w\u003cstrong\u003ee supply a genuine Audi RS3 crash bar \u003c\/strong\u003ewhich we 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the graph below, for both tests we let the car heat soak on the dyno until the radiator fans tripped on and off (which gives an inlet temperature of 36°C), then do a dyno pull from there. This gives a more consistent result and reflects real-world driving conditions more accurately. You can easily see the Forge intercooler cools much quicker and delivers a much greater drop in temperature compared to OEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/userfiles\/images\/website_imgs\/FMINT4-DYNO-TEMP-GRAPH.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOn the standard car we tested on, it made 362bhp completely stock (so largely in line with what Audi quote) with a peak intake temperature of 58°C.
