cp-e Core Lightweight Front Mount Intercooler Core Titan Finish 13+ Ford Focus ST
$ 682.52
After months of engineering and development, cp-e™ is proud to release the Lightweight ΔCore Front Mount Intercooler for the Focus ST. The stock intercooler does an excellent job for the everyday driver that doesn’t want to modify their car. However, once you find that itch to go faster, the intercooler is a must have modification.
Lightweight, highly efficient design
Minimal Pressure Drop
Maximized Core Design
Substantially Lower & More Consistent Charge Temps
Bolt-in Design, No Vehicle Modification Needed
Fully Cast End-Tanks
cp-e™ started off by determining the maximum size core that could fit without major modification to the vehicle. After our initial large core, we set out to build a lightweight version that combines performance with a smaller footprint. What we ended up with is a 28” x 8.25” x 3.5” core that performs great with lighter weight and a smaller size. This core uses the bar and plate design to help ensure a high level of efficiency.
cp-e™ then set their sights on the endtanks, developing a design that not only encloses the core, but also requires no cutting, no drilling, and no permanent modification to the vehicle. With the laser cut brackets, the intercooler will mount in the stock location while matching up to the stock intercooler piping. Customers can now upgrade their piping when their power demands need it and modify in smaller increments.
As always, the cp-e™ intercooler includes cast endtanks that are welded and pressure tested with the core. What sets these endtanks from the rest is the engineering behind their shape and internal design. Hours of design and computer flow diagrams have been put into the tanks’ design to virtually eliminate turbulence within them. Many times, upgrading an intercooler causes increased turbo-lag, and an overall pressure loss. This is because of the large size of the core and the turbulence within the endtanks. By designing the endtanks to be smaller, and more efficient cp-e™ has found a way to minimalize turbulence in order to keep the drivability of the car high, while still enlarging the intercooler drastically.
The internal design of the endtanks directs the air to bring the most optimal airflow as well as an even distribution throughout the core. In intercoolers, the back half of the core only does 25% of the cooling. The endtanks have been designed to direct the air properly into the core for the most even cooling, giving the vehicle the most consistent conditions going into the engine.
