The piping included from the factory is constructed from rubber, which not only degrades over time, but also tends to move around in the engine bay as you put your Focus ST through the paces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe here at Mishimoto ditched the degradation-prone rubber for 5 layers of durable silicone reinforced with steel wire to make sure it stays put in the engine bay and holds its shape against the serious boost pressures running through it. Speaking of shape, the Mishimoto performance intercooler pipe is designed with a unique elliptical shape to accommodate for an upgrade to the Mishimoto performance radiator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur silicone piping also features a 2.5-inch inner diameter, increasing volume 10% over the stock piping and resulting in a 40% increase in flow.

First, notice the odd, flattened, oval-like shape in the middle of the tube. That is no accident. Our engineer formed the tube in this fashion so it can clear the radiator and air conditioning condenser. The image below shows the spacing around our design. It’s also worth noting that this part was installed on an ST that had our Performance Radiator, which is why the clearance looks tight here. There will be more clearance with the stock radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12019\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"\u003e\u003cimg data-attachment-id=\"12019\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2017\/07\/completing-package-intercooler-piping-rd-coming-hot\/_mg_5633r\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1497404777\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"_MG_5633r\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Cold side tube nestled right next to the A\/C compressor\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?fit=350%2C233\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12019\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?resize=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cold side tube nestled right next to the A\/C compressor\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?w=600\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?resize=150%2C100\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/MG_5633r.jpg?resize=350%2C233\u0026amp;ssl=1 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; height: auto; max-height: 572px; display: block; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003eCold-side tube nestled right next to the A\/C compressor\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal structure is what helps the cold-side pipe keep its shape.

This means that under vacuum, there won’t be any structural degradation or misshaping, which keeps the airflow constant. We wanted to show this to you, but don’t really have any X-ray equipment.

We wouldn’t be able to do any dyno testing on them as the printed filament used won’t stand up to the heat, but it will give us an idea of what changes must be made regarding fitment, should the need arise. Using a 3D printer saves us a lot of headache and engineering time since we don’t have to go through the painstakingly long process of making actual metal pipes from scratch. That can be time consuming, especially if a dimension is off by even a tiny bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11750\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11750\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"\u003e\u003cimg data-attachment-id=\"11750\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2017\/06\/completing-the-package-intercooler-piping-rd-part-1-halfway-there\/_mg_3449r\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1489539744\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"_MG_3449r\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Hot side connected to the turbo\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r.jpg?fit=350%2C233\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11750\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.mishimoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r-600x400.jpg?resize=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hot side connected to the turbo\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r.jpg?w=600\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r.jpg?resize=150%2C100\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3449r.jpg?resize=350%2C233\u0026amp;ssl=1 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; height: auto; max-height: 572px; display: block; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11750\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003eHot side connected to the turbocharger\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg data-attachment-id=\"11751\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/2017\/06\/completing-the-package-intercooler-piping-rd-part-1-halfway-there\/_mg_3446r\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1489539696\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"_MG_3446r\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r.jpg?fit=350%2C233\u0026amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r.jpg?fit=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11751\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineering.mishimoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r-600x400.jpg?resize=600%2C400\u0026amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"_MG_3446r\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r.jpg?w=600\u0026amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r.jpg?resize=150%2C100\u0026amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mishimoto.com\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MG_3446r.jpg?resize=350%2C233\u0026amp;ssl=1 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 3D parts are printed in a matter of hours, and if something doesn’t print correctly, or needs to be adjusted (which, in our R\u0026amp;D facility, doesn’t happen often), it’s only a matter of a few extra hours to get the part redesigned or re-printed before it’s ready to go. It’s the closest we can get without having a production level, testable part manufactured. We need to be sure everything is as spot-on as possible, from the bracketry, to the pipe angle, and orientation before we dive head-first into a fully manufactured part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow, you can see how our 3D hot side pipe fits. The sizing is larger overall and clears everything in its path. Since we can’t print the entire pipe in once piece, it had to be made in sections and pieced together.
