Following the success of the Forge performance enhancing products for the Hyundai MK3 i30N and Veloster N, it was only obvious they should further develop on another of Hyundai’s popular performance N platforms, the Hyundai Kona N. Due to the difference in crash bar design, and following intensive testing, Forge found that, unlike the i30N, a stepped core was not the best performing intercooler during testing, neither would it offer to be a completely reversible plug and play solution.

In the development stages, Forge engineers used their knowledge and sheet metal expertise to help improve vital airflow through the bar and plate core by hand forming alloy sheet metal and the necessary brackets to mount the 83% larger volume intercooler in the OE position. This is the ideal location with a frontal surface area increase of over 27%, and has no detriment to any other of the vehicles cooling components. The development team also created a hand fabricated ducting system that has been skilfully integrated into this superior design, to ensure as much air as possible passes through the face of the intercooler.
