Forge Motorsport Carbon Fibre B58 Intake Induction Kit For BMW M140 F20 F21 / M240i F22 F23 / 340i F30 / 440i F32 F33 F36
The B58 engine is a masterpiece from BMW, it makes great power, produces a fantastic noise and with the addition of FMINDK50 you can take these qualities even further. When our development team analysed the OEM airbox and inlet tract on the BMW M140i kindly loaned to us from The Performance Company, we came up with a multiple part solution to maximise all areas.
The Carbon Fibre
Using carbon fibre brings obvious benefits of strength, lightweight and aesthetics. However, a part that is often forgotten is its low thermal conductivity, which means it reduces heat soak and transmission of said heat to nearby items. Keeping Inlet Air Temps (IAT’s) low is often a difficult part of developing induction systems, so replacing metal or plastic inlet solutions for FMINDK50 will help decrease IAT’s and increase the volume of air supplied to your vehicles engine that is compressed by the turbo charger.
This has a better effect on performance when cool as this is to provide the engine with more oxygen (denser air), thus improving the combustion in each cylinder. In addition, by regulating and reducing the air temperature, it also increases the reliability of an engine by keeping the AFRs (Air Fuel Ratios) in each cylinder at a safe level, which in turn, can increase an engines power due to the air being cooler. A bigger bang is then created within the cylinder, providing the correct amount of fuel is added. This can equate to an increase in BHP and torque.
The Inlet Hose
The sound resonator and accordion ribs on the OEM inlet hose cause significant turbulence to the airflow causing a detriment to the engine’s potential performance. Our improved solution, FMINLH25 (included in this kit), gives you a host of performance upgrades
The Front Inlet Air Ducts
BMW designed the intake path to pull air from the low-pressure zone in front of the radiator, however during testing we found that there is a drop in performance at speeds above 35mph when compared to FMINLD2. By creating a direct air feed to the inlet tract, this helps to force air towards the airbox/intake helping with throttle response and keeping inlet air temperatures (IAT’s) at a reduced and more consistent temperature. A reduced consistent temperature is of great importance because any high temperature peaks will cause the ECU to retard the ignition and reduce the power you have available.
FMINLD2 is a simple bolt-on product which is easy to fit in approximately 45 minutes with no specialist tool, drilling or cutting required. Not only is the Forge part a better option for performance, but the carbon fibre really helps to give the front of your BMW a pleasant aesthetic appearance. The high-quality composite fibre is manufactured from 100% prepreg 2x2 carbon fibre twill formed in an autoclave from billet tooling and finished with an anti UV gloss gel coat. The Forge Motorsport lifetime warranty on all our hardware products shows the trust we have in the quality of our products while they are being enjoyed on your pride and joy.
