CP-E Delta Core Focus ST Front Mount Intercooler Stg 2

CP-E brought their engineering dedication and excellence to their Focus ST Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) for those who want maximum performance and maximum cooling..

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. The CP-E lightweight FMIC is a great piece for a daily driver that's been upgraded or might see the odd track session, but for those looking for bigger power or heavy duty track work, CP-E have brought out this "full fat" version!

At Steeda Europe we independently tested a stock EU Focus ST when they were first launched and found that after a SINGLE power run on the dyno the stock intercooler was overwhelmed and the car would start to lose power on every run after that... So people who think that intercoolers are irrelevant, and that remaps, intakes and exhausts are all that matter are very much mistaken! Sure if all you want is a "single run pull" number that you can talk about on forums, then OK, but if you want actual repeatable, useable power on street or on track, then a high quality intercooler is a must in the Ford Focus ST mk3.

Features:

• Low Turbulence End Tank Design
• Minimal Pressure Drop
• Maximized Core Design
• Substantially Lower & More Consistent Charge Temps
• Bolt-in Design, No Vehicle Modification Needed
• Fully Cast End-Tanks
• Available in Silver or Satin black

cp-e started off by determining the maximum size core that could fit without major modification to the vehicle. After the initial large core, they ended up with his 28" x 8.25" x 5.5" (711mm x 210mm x 140mm!)) giant core that performs consistently under pressure to keep your power where you want it to be. This core uses the bar and plate design to help ensure a high level of efficiency.

Now our Focus ST FMIC includes a free adapter that will work with non-USDM MAP sensors.

Focus ST FMIC Design
cp-e then set their sights on the end tanks, 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 end tanks 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 end tanks. By designing the end thanks to be smaller, and more efficient cp-e, has found a way to minimize turbulence in order to keep the drivability of the car high, while still enlarging the intercooler drastically.

The internal design of the end tanks 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 end tanks 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.

Ford Focus ST FMIC Highlights

Turbulence Reduction Fins
When creating an intercooler, the goal is to maximize size, while not increasing pressure drop. Larger cores almost always exhibit some form of pressure drop, due to the massive turbulence in a large core. cp-e has engineered a way around this by adding our carefully calculated turbulence reduction fins to smooth out the airflow from the end tanks to the main core.

In the real world this translates to extraordinarily low pressure drop and no loss in spool times.

Fully Cast End Tanks

When durability and high horsepower are the main goals, nothing beats casting. Cut and weld sections just don't have close to the reliability of a cast piece. The problem is that casting is too expensive and out of reach for many manufacturers.

With the ultimate product as our end goal, we only accept fully cast end tanks for all of our front mount intercoolers.
