New Intercooler for Transverse 3.5L Ecoboost

StealBlueSho said:
I have been on the phone with Matt a bit lately... this WILL require a retune for sure...I’ve seen the datalogs and there are changes to the wastegate to accommodate the bigger IC among other things.

I did speak to LMS about this as well, and they will require at least a couple guys to get theirs dyno tuned before they offer a remote tune for it.

I am on the list to get one when they come out. So we will see! Money is already set aside.

On a side note... this IC coupled with the bigger HPFP and E30 should practically eliminate the need for meth to get into the lower 12’s consistently and safely....

That would be awesome. I am going to see what the general consensus is when people start receiving them before I go all in.
 
I'm excited too, and am on board to be within that 1st grouping of owners to receive them.

I'm sure LMS will be interested in tuning with it too, as I and BJ/SBS will be vying for dyno time respectively.

Although a group buy sounds great, and will benefit many, I don't mind being in that 1st group to pay full price. I mean after all, it's nice for Matt @ GH to recoup his costs after all.

It's also super important to reward those few vendors still left out there, that are investing in the R&D for the platform, as well as doing what they can, to propel the platform forward even further.

Getting more and more excited about this as the days keep ticking by.......

Not gonna lie, this, a CHRA upgrade, and HPFP are all on my "wish" list.

Matt is finalizing his turbo upgrades as well...
Should be available soon. $1800 price
Tag for them... he has a guy running his prototypes in CO (DA of 6000+) running 12.5’s reliably with no issues...

Sooo I have turbos and the IC money set aside... will be interesting...

As far as RD Gearhead is currently working on Turbos, IC’s, Cams(part of a motor build)and some other goodies.....

I’m going to worth remotely with him through a local shop I trust to attempt to develop a solution to strengthen the PTU...

GH is really doing some cool stuff...

I've always liked Matt's work.  I'd have his tunes on my truck if I didn't already had tunes on it.

Only $100 bucks to switch.

I'm aware, but at this point the truck is pretty much been regulated to plow/work duty only,  only other time I drive it is in bad weather.

That's impressive.  I've been stuck in the 13's here in Utah. Our DA is similar.  My turbo's can only sustain 12.8-13.0 psi after 4500rpm.
 
Maybe I’m blind or stupid or both but I can’t find a price point anywhere on this. Have they spoken about it? I just want to have the money ready the minute they go on sale. Like Bdp I don’t mind paying full price to help with the R&D costs. Any shop that’s willing to help push this platform forward, I’m willing to pay a little more for their parts. I’m thinking this is my winter upgrade over doing methanol.

Do both.  Maybe the IC first.  And I don't see a price either.  I emailed Gearhead and havent received a response, although its only been a couple days. 
The IC will be a nice way to keep everything cooler and make some more power but its not adding octane like Meth.  Do both.  And with their powers combined theyre Captain ..Plane...SHO 😆

The IC and Turbos are not listed yet... they should be available soon. And prices are not finalized... Matt has said the IC will be under $800(so 799.99) and the turbos he is targeting $1800.

Intercooler + racegas = no meth for Tim  :thumb:

I was fully expect 1k minimum but I’ll take $799 all day
 
Earlier this year he thought $650 but now he is saying less than $800... so some where in there is what I guess..

The first batch is for a 100 of them. 50 of which he is selling directly through GH and the other 50 will be sold to distributors....

So don’t be surprised if a few of the Ecoboost big name shops all of a sudden start selling IC’s...

I think EPP already announced he will be offering them as well..

GearHead responded to my email, they didn't quote a price but said after SEMA they will be released and at this point there isn't a group of buyers.  I was asking to be in the first group.  I thanked them for the update as well as for investing time and money to develop new parts for the platform.
