Throughout the development process we have strived to \u003cstrong\u003eimprove the efficiency and performance\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Yaris GR’s engine. Our project brief was to develop an intercooler utilising all of the available space available in the original position of the OEM intercooler, and to ensure the inlet air temperature is reduced, without any negative effects on the boost pressure or engine and transmission cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing a combination of scanning software and traditional measuring methods, the design was created. This was then fine tuned by our computational fluid dynamics (CFD) team, and the end tanks were initially created by 3D printers. We then alloy cast our first prototypes from our 3D prints using a sand casting technique and started the testing procedure on several types of intercooler cores.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first iteration fitted the vehicle perfectly, however, our technicians and engineers felt the inlet and outlet should be enlarged along with providing the end user with the necessary boost pipes to ensure flow was maximized on the Toyota`s GR 3 cylinder engine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBefore getting to work on the dyno, we spec'd three different type of cores; one of these being bar and plate and two being a tube and fin construction - with all three cores having different internal and external fin pitches and configurations. We then welded the test parts ready for testing along with fabricating an internal baffle to the inlet (hot side) of the end tank. This is to ensure, from our CFD research, that the total volume of the core internal is utilised for optimum performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCompared to the OEM intercooler, the improved Forge product has a surface area increase of over \u003cstrong\u003e42%\u003c\/strong\u003e and an internal volume increase of over \u003cstrong\u003e100% \u003c\/strong\u003eas well as Gains of more than \u003cstrong\u003e10bhp \u003c\/strong\u003eand 10 lbs\/ft. These gains can be even higher depending on your vehicles state of tune and complementing performance products like the turbo inlet adaptor and the inlet duct. As the hot and cold side, inlet and outlet, have been increased to 60mm, we have included within the intercooler kit all the necessary silicone hoses and hardware to complete the installation and connect to the OEM parts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"\" pure-g pure-g-gapped\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"\" pure-u-1 pure-u-md-1-3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Forge Motorsport intercooler is a perfect performance enhancing product that fits directly to the OEM mounting points, making for an easy install, in a relatively short period of time. \u003cstrong\u003eNo cutting of any components are needed\u003c\/strong\u003e, making the installation reversible if the vehicle needs to be returned to stock at any time in the future. The core and end tanks are finished in our black textured anti corrosion coating that also aids with its thermal properties and keeps the product looking that bit more stealthy or OEM+.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Forge Motorsport \u003cstrong\u003elifetime warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on all hardware products shows the trust we have in the quality of our products while they are being enjoyed on your pride and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do we test different cores?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"\" center-block src=\"\" https:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere at Forge Motorsport, when developing an intercooler, we will test several different cores for each application. For example, a bar and plate style core, a tube and fin style core along with different fin pitches and heights e.g. 22 fins per inch or 17 fins per inch, as well as changing the internal fin pitches\/shapes and density within the tube enabling to fine tune the amount of pressure drop the intercooler produces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePressure drop is not always a bad thing, as our testing and research has proven on various projects. This is because the pressurized air velocity is being stalled by the pressure drop within the cooler thus allowing more time to cool the air within the cooler itself, as air passes through the non-pressurized face of the core that is open to the atmosphere. Too much pressure drop can of course have a problem on the higher performance engines as the intercooler reaches its maximum efficiency the turbo has to work a lot harder to force the air through the core. This in turn creates higher inlet air temps (IAT’s) due to the turbo creating more heat as it is over stressed and worked harder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHaving no pressure drop can also prove to be inefficient as the cooler will not lower the charge temperature again resulting in higher inlet air temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDyno Results\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" class=\"\" center-block src=\"\" https:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTesting was completed on \u003ca href=\"\" https: target=\"\" _blank\u003eLitchfield’s\u003c\/a\u003e Maha dyno, manufactured by the same people who currently supply BMW M sport and Mercedes Benz for all their engine calibration and dyno testing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGains of 10bhp and 10lbft\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTemperature drops of up to 20°C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReduced turbo lag, increased response\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGreater overall surface area for greater heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUtilising a race specification tube and fin construction air core\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh flow cast end tanks ensuring optimum air transition for cooling efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDyno proven horsepower and torque gains\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA smoother power curve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVolumetric increase of more than 100%, without additional lag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrontal area increase of over 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes necessary hardware and instructions for installation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Forge Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62774260171082,"sku":"FMINT25","price":865.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/6116\/1034\/files\/forge-motorsport-intercooler-toyota-gr-yaris-20-intercoolers-384.webp?v=1784589142","url":"https:\/\/sansomsspecialistparts.co.uk\/products\/forge-motorsport-intercooler-toyota-gr-yaris-20","provider":"Sansoms Specialist Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
