Description:

After months of engineering and development, cp-e® is proud to release the ∆Core FMIC for the Ford Explorer ST. The stock intercooler does an excellent job for the everyday driver that doesn't want to modify their car. However, once you find that you want additional power, the intercooler is a must have modification.

We started off by determining the maximum size core that could fit without having to cut parts of the vehicle, while our ∆Core FMIC uses the bar and plate design to help ensure a high level of efficiency. The next step was to design the perfect endtanks, developing a design that not only encloses the monstrous core, but also requires no cutting, no drilling, and no permanent modification to the vehicle. With the cast in place brackets, the intercooler will mount in the stock location while matching up to the stock intercooler piping. Customers can now upgrade their piping when their power demands need it and modify in smaller increments.

As always, the cp-e® intercooler includes cast endtanks that are welded and pressure tested with the core. What truly distinguishes these endtanks is the innovative engineering that defines their unique shape and sophisticated internal design. Hours of design and computer flow diagrams have been put into the tanks' design to virtually eliminate turbulence within them. Many times, upgrading an intercooler causes increased turbo-lag, and an overall pressure loss. This is because of the large size of the core and the turbulence within the endtanks. By designing the endtanks to be smaller, and more efficient, we have found a way to minimize turbulence to keep the drivability of the car high, while still enlarging the intercooler drastically.

The internal design of the endtanks directs the air to bring the most optimal airflow as well as an even distribution throughout the core. In intercoolers, the back half of the core only does 25% of the cooling. The endtanks have been designed to direct the air properly into the core for the most even cooling, giving the vehicle the most consistent conditions going into the engine.

Fully Optimized Core Size

To build one of the most efficient intercooler designs possible, we set out to make the largest core available. To accomplish this, we have maximized every single square inch of usable space under the stock valence. This is evident in the core design with recesses for a perfect fit, yet the largest size physically possible without permanent modification to the vehicle.

Turbulence Reduction Fins

When creating an intercooler, the goal is to maximize both the size and usage of the core. Our turbulence reduction fins work to distribute air evenly inside the core. This keeps the core cooling at optimal efficiency and utilizes every inch of the core.

Fully Cast End Tanks

When durability and high horsepower are the main goals, nothing beats casting. Cut and weld sections just do not have anything close to the reliability of a cast piece. The problem is that casting is too expensive and out of reach for many manufacturers. With the ultimate product as our end goal, we only accept fully cast endtanks for all our intercoolers.
