New Intercooler for Transverse 3.5L Ecoboost

[ZSHO]

I'm not quite sure if this was covered but assuming you will need an adjusted Tune to benefit the larger volume CAC(Intercooler) ?  Z

yep gonna be getting my money too.

To me that sounds much more complicated than paypalling Matt $650 (Or less on group buy? hint, hint)

haha very true.  But I do wonder how much the cost would be to do it on your own... Anyone know the dimensions of the factory intercooler?  I want to find out how much a properly sized bar-and-plate core would cost.

This should be the OE- CAC- Dimensions!  Z

I would be in for a group buy as soon as the tax refund comes

Not trying to burst the Bubble, but the install is a PIA, as we did this already
have to remove the front Bumper Cover, the AC Condenser, and lines,
the Radiator, and then the intercooler, and install the new one,
SO A/C RECHARGE, Radiator fluid, ETC, just being realistic, I AM STILL IN

i have a stock intercooler piece i can take measurements of if requested.

I still have not received my second (improved) prototype..... It should be worth the wait and have another 2 psi of boost available on the stock turbos compared to V1 which already made 460Hp to the tires.

Well if all those numbers prove accurate, and the price stays the same, I would most likely be buying one as well.  Kind of mind blowing that the gains are so substantial just by switching to bar-and-plate, with the core going all the way to the end tanks.  If that's the case, couldn't you buy a bar-and-plate core in the proper dimensions.  Then get some end tanks from a junk yard and have them attached to the new core.  Or is this way more complicated than I'm making it sound?

Factory end tanks are plastic   V1 of the intercooler use an aftermarket intercooler and just replaced the core with a higher flowing one with more surface area... V2 has newly designed end tanks to flow more air and have a flange like stock for ease of installation.

I'm waiting with baited breath for this to happen!!!

So if you had a 93 tune. 12.5 1/4 mile time HP area. What gains and such would you expect from this IC?

 

[mattr66]

depends on what IAT2 was doing down the track.... if you were at 175-180 after the 1/8th mile you would have at 2-3 tenths and 3-4 mph of mph gain after the intercooler.

Any updates as to when the intercooler will be released, Matt?

We were all thinking it

Holy crap, who is seeing IAT2 temps that high.  I've never seen temps that high in either the 2012 and 2013 cars.  That is even before running meth.

 

[TopherSho]

That is exceptionally warm after a run.  I have seen mine hit 170 in the lane,  but at the end of a run I was normally at 110/120 on a 105f day with 125f pavement temps according to the laser

I never said anything about IATs. I just asked a simple question. What will this add to the performance of a 12.5 second car.

They heard ya.  They were just letting you know that it's not a simple "X" amount of performance to be gained.  How much you gain depends on a few factors, and one of them is Intake Air Temp.  If you are running 12.5 and your IATs are super low, then an intercooler may not add much.  If you're running 12.5 with very high IATs then an improved intercooler will add much more performance.  So it depends on your individual case.  If you have some data-logs or even just a few data points handy, I'm sure the guys can give you a much more specific expectation with this intercooler.

 

[Macgyver]

Now that makes sense. Thanks.

 

[TopherSho]

Yup on the source temp being relevant to gains. 

Idle the car on black pavement for 5 minutes then launch hard from 1800-2000 rpm a d run from 0-110 while data logging spark1 spark2 knock, iat2, speed, rpm and time.. we can make a pretty good guess from there.
