Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-RS-16SL is a direct-fit, Sleek Silver bar-and-plate intercooler engineered specifically for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS and its 2.3L EcoBoost engine. Whether you spend your weekends on track, enjoy spirited backroad drives, or simply want your RS to stand out, this forced induction upgrade is built to handle the abuse without compromise. It’s a true bolt-on performance part that requires no modification for installation.
This forced induction intercooler boosts the induction system’s cooling capacity with a 36-percent increase in internal core volume and a 214-percent increase in external fin surface area compared to the factory unit, translating into real gains in air-cooling efficiency. The all-aluminum, TIG-welded core reduces air outlet temperature by almost 40-percent while minimizing the inlet/outlet pressure drop across the core, improving heat transfer at both idle and cruising speeds. Owners running this Mishimoto performance induction upgrade with a stock tune have seen bolt-on gains of 7 whp and 8 ft-lbs of torque. Included left and right diversion plates direct airflow through the intercooler core for maximum efficiency, and the stock mounting location keeps the radiator and AC condenser airflow path clear.
Vehicle Applications

It functions with all factory equipment on these model years, and it is also compatible with Mishimoto’s own upgraded intercooler pipes as well as most aftermarket intercooler pipe kits, giving Focus RS owners flexibility as they build out their forced induction system.
