The Injen FM9003I Front Mount Intercooler is engineered specifically for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS MK3 platform, delivering superior cooling performance for both street and track use. This high-efficiency bar-and-plate intercooler replaces the restrictive factory tube-and-fin unit, which is prone to heat soak under spirited driving or increased boost levels.
Performance Benefits:
- Dyno-proven gains of up to 14 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque
- Over 25% increase in core volume compared to stock
- Average 35% reduction in charge air temperatures
- Maintains charge air temps at or near ambient to prevent timing retardation
- Minimal pressure drop for consistent boost delivery
Construction and Design:
- Custom bar-and-plate core construction for maximum heat dissipation
- Precision cast end tanks engineered for optimized airflow management
- CNC-machined aluminum flanges for direct fitment with factory piping
- Precision TIG-welded construction throughout
- Distinctive silver finish with brushed aluminum appearance
Installation and Compatibility:
- Direct bolt-on installation with no cutting or drilling required
- Average installation time of one hour
- Uses factory intercooler piping (no piping included)
- Designed to work with stock ECU calibration
- Compatible with Injen cold air intake systems (SP9003P, SP9003SE, SP9003WR, SP9003WB)
Factory ECU calibrations begin pulling ignition timing once charge air temperatures exceed 100°F, progressively reducing power as temperatures climb. The FM9003I intercooler prevents this power loss by maintaining consistent intake temps, ensuring reliable performance on the street, road course, or drag strip. Made in Pomona, California and backed by Injen Technology's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Important Notes:
- Not CARB exempt - not legal for sale or use in California
- No intercooler piping included - uses factory pipes
- Direct fit for 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS L4-2.3L Turbo only
