I install a new and customised intake in my MK3 Ford Focus RS!

Specifically, the Mishimoto induction kit that not only has full three inch pipe work all the way to the turbo, including a single big crossover pipe as opposed to a two piece spit pipe like most competitors, but also featuring a full metal replacement air box!

The air box replacement and general design of the Mishimoto intake gets rid of a bunch of fragile plastic parts that are prone to failure - this was a big deal for me!

Also, compared to the Mountune induction kit that it is replacing, the pipes are simple bent aluminium pipes - not cast and without weird bulbous sections that take up space like the Mountune. So a better design that looks better!

The customisation that I have done is wrapping the main intake pipe and a large amount of the air box (any suerface pointing at the hot engine) using Funk Motorsport gold heat reflecting tape.

This is very striking visually (like a proper race engine!) but is very important for keeping heat away from the intake air and so keeping intake air temps as low as possible. This is important for performance and reliability and became a big concern after tracking the RS on the Nurburgring where under bonnet temps got pretty hot and so led me to this solution!

Mishimoto provide an extensive set of hardware that is all you need to get the job done and while it takes a bit of time, installation isn't too tough - apart from the clamp work to the turbo which is a very tight space - but take your time, it is very much worth it!

Make sure you stick around to the end of the vid to hear some revs!

Ford has finally manufactured a Focus wielding the "RS" badge, and we couldn't be happier. We wanted to improve and upgrade a lot of things on this car and among those priorities had to be an intake. Our engineers have spent many hours in development, performing a handful of tests and data collection, so that our intake gives you the right results.

This is a full intake, replacing every core component in the OEM system, including the airbox and the intake pipe. Our kit includes a 3" aluminium pipe that routes all the way to the turbo, with all of the necessary bracketry for a perfect fit. The airbox has a similar design to the stock airbox, facilitating an improved pressure drop with an open top, so that the filter is exposed to more air while also sealing the box against the bonnet, keeping it fully enclosed. This airbox uses the factory air inlet ducts, grabbing air right from the front of the car, and the ports are surrounded with weather stripping to avoid movement.

We have put this intake through hundreds of miles of road testing and countless dyno runs to ensure repeatable and reliable max gains of 12 whp and 15 wtq (more details below in our engineering blog). No cutting or modification to factory components will be necessary. This kit is a direct bolt-in for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS, and of course, this product is covered by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.

You may have seen gold reflective heat tape applied to intake pipework. Why? You may ask. Well, the answer is simple. Gold reflective heat tape works to reflect away radiant heat from intake pipework by up to 90%. A cooler intake is crucial to performance and battling heat transfer from hot components is one of the most common problems facing manufacturers, engine builders and enthusiasts worldwide. In top flight motorsport, as an example, dropping intake temperatures by just 1-2 degrees C, can make all the difference on track.

Gold reflective heat tape is commonly used on bulkheads to reflect heat away from the cockpit. As the engine bay heats up, so too does the cockpit and soaring temperatures within the cabin are less than ideal for the driver behind the wheel. Say goodbye to sauna like temperatures and protect the driver by ensuring your cabin is as cool as can be.

It’s safe to say we all understand the importance of keeping of fuel cool. Exhaust systems and other components can dramatically increase the temperature of fuel inside the cell leading to vapour lock and fuel starvation. Line your fuel cell in our gold reflective heat tape rolls or sheets, to reflect away as much heat as possible.
