- Increased power and torque output
- Improved sound characteristics of the engine
- Improved visual impact of the engine bay
During our testing, we found that the location of the original air box was susceptible to a vast amount of heat soak. This is because the airbox air feed is placed directly above a very hot source of heat - the radiator. This led us to design and relocate where the air filter/airbox is housed in the engine bay. The Forge cold air intake system now cleverly draws air from within the Suzuki Swifts front bumper keeping the intake temperatures extra cool in any climate.
After extensive testing, we found that our carbon fibre canister filters worked the best. The filter element itself is provided by Pipercross, and is fully serviceable or replaceable if necessary. A replacement can be found here. The pipe work of the kit runs around the cold side of the engine and away from the engines turbo manifold; this again is to keep intake temperatures down as low as possible. In total, we observed intake temperatures fall from 39°C down to 26°C. These numbers will come down further still with the addition of our intercooler upgrade.
The Forge High Flow airbox produced an impressive increase of over 8BHP at 5500RPM and a gain of toruqe throughout the entire rev range on independent dyno testing.
The design of this kit has also introduced some excitement to the driving experience with a subtle yet characterful induction roar when on harder acceleration.
You will be very happy with the visual impact of the kit upon opening the bonnet. Every part of the kit from the handmade aluminium hard pipe to the bespoke silicone hose and the carbon fibre filter both look and feel high quality - quite simply, because they are!
The kit comes complete with everything you need for installation, which can be carried out in around 40 minutes, including a set of full colour instructions.
This intake is designed for RHD vehicles and will NOT fit the LHD version. For the LHD, see here.
⭐ "Well what can I say? This induction kit is absolutely brilliant! The looks, the noise and power difference is unbelievable. The carbon fibre just finishes off the engine bay. The noise well is more than I expected sounds brilliant, it really does 'suck' and 'hiss' absolutely brilliant from a induction kit. The power difference is really noticeable when boosting its harder and harsher and just
