Have a non-USDM Focus ST? No Problem! Now our intercooler includes a free adapter that will work with non-USDM MAP sensors.
After months of engineering and development, cp-e is proud to
release the 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.
- 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
cp-e started off by determining the maximum size core that could fit
without major modification to the vehicle. After removing the active
grill shutters, and squeezing big hands in tight spaces, cp-e developed
the largest core available to the market, a 28” x 8.25” x 5.5” monster!
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 monstrous 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.
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 Endtanks
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.
Maximized Core Size
The EcoBoost platform has seen some incredible power gains in a very
short period of time. With this in mind, we wanted to create a very
large intercooler that would support both stock and big turbo
applications. Even with this large size, no modification or removal of
stock parts are needed.
This combined with our fin design makes this intercooler the best choice out there for both stock and big turbo upgrades.
