The Airtec Motorsport Stage 2 Intercooler for the Ford Focus RS Mk2 has been developed for drivers who demand maximum cooling performance from their tuned 2.5 Turbo. Thanks to a larger intercooler core and improved airflow, this upgrade offers a significant step forward compared to both the original intercooler and the Airtec Stage 1 version.
To prevent power loss during prolonged load, this intercooler uses an enormous 65 mm high-flow coreThe core is almost twice as high as the original intercooler and nearly 100 mm longer, resulting in an impressive 127% larger frontal surface area compared to the OEM system.
The integrated Air Ram Scoop directs airflow directly through the intercooler core to further increase cooling capacity. In combination with the smooth-flow end tanks and the integrated air guide creates a highly efficient airflow that ensures lower intake temperatures and more consistent performance during sporty street and track use.
During tests, the performance of the Stage 2 intercooler was directly compared with the Airtec Stage 1 version. Despite a higher incoming air temperature of 149°C, the Stage 2 managed to reduce the outgoing temperature to just 26°C, compared to 34°C with the Stage 1 intercooler.
In addition, a profit of was measured 20 hp in the mid-range and 40 Nm extra torque, solely due to the switch from the Stage 1 to the Stage 2 intercooler.
The intercooler is supplied in a durable Pro-Series Black powder coating and is backed by Airtec's 3-year warranty.
To make optimal use of the performance of the larger intercooler, this kit is supplemented with the Airtec Motorsport 2.5 inch Big Boost PipesThese pipes replace the more restrictive OEM piping and ensure greater airflow between the turbo, intercooler, and engine. Thanks to the larger diameter, resistance in the system is reduced, allowing the turbo to operate more efficiently and the engine to respond faster to throttle input.
NB: The supplied piping is delivered exclusively in black.
