Title: Forge Twintake, ED30
Post by: beppe on March 19, 2011, 03:53:27 pm

Im looking into getting the forge twintake for my ed30, just wondering is it possible to leave the oem engine cover on? (or even modify it to fit) and is there any issues with the MAF sensor?

cheers for the quick reply. Had my ed30 3 years now so its time to do some work to it. over the summer im going to be getting a blue flame tbe, THS intercooler, the forge twintake and forge bypass valve. then eventually a remap.  Any tips on how to squeeze some extra horsies out of my ed30?

I just chopped a couple of bits off engine cover and it fits fine. A remap will do for extra hp. Maybe add a high pressure fuel pump to your list :happy2:

I'm looking into getting one of these too, will this bring any lights on? Will it mess with my ecu as the car isn't mapped? I would just like some more noise really, I've found the kit for 288£ so may take the plunge, also will it help my mpg? Or get worse?
Sorry bout the hi jack
Jack  :love:

Where have you seen it for £288? Sure that's not excluding VAT?

Yes please where for £288 and are you sure its the twintake and not just the single intake version at that price.

F&r running and something tells me it's +vat but I'll try to find it, I just googled twintake and saw it

You probably saw it at Awesome for that price + VAT mate. :smiley:

You know what I probably did, I'm imagining all sorts of prices on stuff at the moment  :surprised:From twintakes @288 to twintercoolers @ 345 ( but thats me getting the two confused lol)
I'll just go sit back in the corner now  :popcornsoda:

Haha no problem, if they were available for that price I'm sure we'd all jump on it! I think one of the cheapest places online is Larkspeed @ £312 + delivery.

I thought the car sounds like a corsa and wanted a better sound really, that's all gone out the window!....I'm booked for a remap and a twintake with rave @ PDF shortly lol, just waiting for some dates  :party:

Any pictures of the factory engine cover off the car, I am curious to see how much damage is done to fit  :happy2:

Not too hard to make the cover fit. Here's one I cut  up myself and had painted up.

Anyone have a forge twintake near St Albans or Watford area, I would really appreciate a trip round the block in one to see how loud the induction noise is.
