Airtec Stage 2 Intercooler for Ford Focus Rs MK1

TECHNICAL DATA

Why is a front mount intercooler kit necessary? While the original charge cooler kit may suffice for standard cars, it struggles to cope with increased boost on modified vehicles. This can result in water temperatures within the charge cooler reaching dangerous levels, leading to a rise in Air Charge Temperatures (ACTs) to over 55 degrees. To avoid power loss and potential engine damage, it is recommended to install a Front mount intercooler. This will keep ACTs well below the safe 50 degree mark, enabling your engine to safely produce more power.

This kit will take you approximately 4-6 hours to fit and can be carried out at home, there is no cutting, grinding or welding & you don't need to turn your turbo housing with this kit.

Kit includes.

• AIRTEC 100m core Focus RS intercooler
• Alloy boost pipes
• Silicon hoses
• Full stainless steel jubilee clips for silicon hoses
• Alloy Battery relocation tray with battery clamps
• Step by step fitting Instructions
• No other parts needed we provide every bolt, nut you will require.

(Please note this kit has been designed to use K&N Gen2 or similar as the original air box cannot be used)

Test results taken @ torque of the devil on 31/01/09

(Tested on our own test car, mods were dream science set on race, stainless exhaust with de-cat, gen 2 air filter, uprated actuator and of course huge AIRTEC front mount intercooler kit.)

Before Intercooler was fitted the car made only 262bhp & 306 lbs/ft

After Intercooler was fitted it made a very impressive 292.7 bhp & 345 lbs/ft torque @ 21psi peak boost, thats 30 bhp just by bolting on this kit!

Act drops (Air charge temperature)

Inlet temp (going into intercooler from turbo) 158 degree’s

Outlet temp (coming out of intercooler going to inlet manifold) 25 degree’s

Yes 25 degree’s ‘thats a 133 degree drop in act’ simply amazing.

Please remember our car has standard Turbo & manifold and this kit will work even better fitted on cars with after market manifolds and turbos.

Note – all intercooler kits will come with the dump valve take off. This can easily be blanked if not required.
