Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler (MMINT-FOST-13GD) is a direct-fit, bar-and-plate aluminum core built specifically for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST. Engineered as part of Mishimoto’s Focus ST lineup, this forced induction upgrade replaces the factory intercooler with a core that is 128-percent bigger and packs 32-percent more external fin surface area, dropping outlet temperatures by 34 degrees compared to stock.
As the heart of your Focus ST’s forced induction system, the intercooler plays a critical role in keeping compressed intake air cool and dense before it reaches the engine. This performance induction upgrade was designed with a 4.3-inch thick core to maximize flow while working within the factory bumper opening, and independent testing showed consistent gains of up to 5 hp and 7 ft-lbs of torque over baseline. Whether you’re chasing repeatable track performance or simply want a more efficient induction system under sustained boost, this intercooler is built to keep pace without demanding bumper modifications.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto intercooler is a specific, direct-fit upgrade for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST. It bolts in without requiring any modification to the front bumper, and the factory shrouding beneath the front grille can remain in place to keep airflow directed at the new, larger core. Note that due to space constraints, this intercooler is not compatible with vehicles fitted with active splitters.
