Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-FOST-13BK is a direct-fit performance intercooler purpose-built for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST, replacing the factory unit with a bar-and-plate aluminum core that is 128-percent larger than stock. This forced induction upgrade is designed to move more air through a bigger, more efficient core while dropping intercooler outlet temperatures by as much as 34 degrees Fahrenheit.
As part of Mishimoto’s forced induction lineup for the Focus ST, this performance induction intercooler pairs a 4.3-inch-thick core with 32-percent more external fin surface area than the factory unit, giving the induction system more surface to shed heat under sustained boost. In Mishimoto’s own testing, this force induction upgrade produced consistent gains of 5 hp and 7 ft-lbs of torque over baseline. CNC-machined ribbed inlet and outlet necks are built to hold couplers securely, and the unit includes provisions for both US and Euro MAP sensor locations, making it a practical forced induction system upgrade for drivers seeking cooler, denser intake charges.
Vehicle Applications
This intercooler is a specific-fit part engineered exclusively for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST. Installation is a direct swap for the factory intercooler, and the factory shrouding beneath the front grille can be retained to keep airflow directed at the core. Due to space constraints, however, this intercooler is not compatible with Focus ST models equipped with active splitters.
