Ford Focus ST MK4/MK4.5 | Intercooler
SKU: RF081C100100

The Revo Intercooler utilises unique design features to lower intake air temperatures, minimise pressure drop and allow the engine to produce impressive power and torque with Revo Software. The unique end tank profile promotes internal laminar flow by decreasing turbulence and increasing airspeed and volume into the bar and plate core. This enhances charge air cooling giving you access to more power throughout the rev range.

The limitations of the stock intercooler were apparent throughout testing with space being one of the largest factors when looking to improve over the stock unit. The stock part consistently struggled to manage charge air temperatures, especially on vehicles with performance software. The Revo Intercooler has been designed to improve on every restrictive element of the stock cooler, enhancing cooling efficiency by lowering intake air temperatures by up to 33.3ºC vs the Stock intercooler, allowing you to drive harder, for longer.

OEM VS REVO

When you begin to enhance performance the restrictive OEM intercooler struggles to reduce intake temperatures and flow enough air, robbing the engine of power. One of the largest restrictions we found in the OE unit was the size of the inlet and outlet of the cooler, as you increase the power of the car the charge air temperatures increase, with the increase in charge air temperatures the OE unit starts to become a choking point and increases those temperatures further due to insufficient flow. The Revo Intercooler Kit removes the most restrictive elements, increasing the inlet and outlet sizes combined with a larger core, reducing intake air temperatures and promoting smoother airflow.

INCREASED CORE VOLUME

The Revo Intercooler was built around a simple principle; create a cooler that can keep up with your power demand. Designed from the ground up, the Revo Intercooler has a 28% larger core volume than the OEM part and offers perfect OE fitment with no modification to the bumpers or grill.

INCREASED FRONTAL AREA

Due to the custom-designed end tanks, the frontal area of the intercooler has been increased by over 13%. Offering the best balance between increased performance and acceptable part clearance, whilst also minimising pressure drop.

END TANK DESIGN

The Revo end tank geometry maintains the largest possible cross-sectional flow area to and from the core. With a cast interior surface finish, the Revo end tanks allow air to flow freely without obstructions. The design has been balanced between core width and optimal tank profile design. The inlet and outlet sizes have been increased by 20% over the OE design allowing significantly more airflow and volume, reducing charge air temperatures. End tanks play an important part in maintaining pressure and work in harmony with the core to promote airflow, the Revo end tanks are designed to offer the optimal balance between both of these key features.

BAR & PLATE

Designed with a bar and plate core to maximise the efficiency of heat transfer, the pressure drop is also controlled as the air meets less resistance compared to that of a tube and fin alternative. The Revo Intercooler also features carefully specified fin geometry to maximise cooling properties while minimising flow restriction. The ambient core side utilises louvred fins to slow ambient airflow which improves heat transfer, while the charge core side features an offset internal fin design to balance surface area and air resistance to minimise pressure drop.

INTERCOOLER PIPE UPGRADE

Supplied with upgraded and increased sized 4 ply silicone hoses. The increased diameter silicone hoses allow for increased air volume to the cooler, reducing the heat build up the OE ones suffer at the inlet of the intercooler. The internal diameter of each silicone is precisely matched to the diameter of the Revo intercooler with unique Flush Fit design, allowing a smooth transition between components.
