Performance Intercoolers In Stock

We offer a number of intercoolers for EcoBoost Mustangs, and I want to show my two favorites.

The first is only 330 bucks and it's amazing. The dual core design allows a large core without blocking the air conditioning condenser. Better cooling for the charge air, and better air conditioning for you.

The thicker part of the core exhausts into the engine bay, where the pressure is lower than in front of the AC condenser. Thus more air through the core. It also puts more of the intercooler's mass down low where you want it.

The step up from that one is the same core but with ducting welded on to prevent cooling air from spilling around the core. More air through the core is better. This isn't a huge improvement but it does increase air flow through the core by about 10%. If you want the best intercooling solution for this car, this is it.

This also features two fittings for intercooler spayers or alternatively you can run a nitrous purge to this point so that when you purge it's not just wasted nitrous, it will at least do something. This one is quite a bit more at $589.

FIrst of all, I don't think cvf is a vendor here, and I certainly never mentioned them or their product. So I'm not sure why we are being attacked by their representative. There is some serious misdirection in that post. If you go to the start of this thread you will see I never said anything about blocking the radiator. Claiming that I did is disingenuous at best.

Of course for those intercoolers that do, the engine's cooling system can compensate for that, the thermostat has enough range to handle it so it's not a problem and I never said otherwise.

What I said was that some intercoolers block a relatively large portion of the Condenser for the Air Conditioning, which is true. That results in slightly less effective AC, which matters to some people. It depends a bit on where you live, but in Oklahoma it matters.

I also never said anything about the fit of your product, so I'm really not sure what you're getting at there. Ours fits quite well, of that I'm certain.

As for the spacing of the fins, it's just fine. In fact going by the pictures on your website they look to be the same as yours, it's likely the cores come from the same place. As for your statement that our intercooler is just "cut and stacked, no design just throwing it on there" is just silly. Of course there is a design, yes there are two cores stuck together, just like very dual core design on the planet. There is nothing wrong with that.

Regarding testing we have results on the dyno, the dragstrip and the racetrack. The product works as advertised.

I'm sure your product is fine, but I don't get why you are attacking us.

Really? I just looked and I don't see you in the Vendor section. I thought that to post as a vendor you had to have a vendor account. You show up a a registered user, not as a vendor. We pay our dues to the forum. Why are you allowed to post here for free?

Hi Bronco,

I put up videos of the dyno testing and drag strip action on this site. I'll put up the trip to the racetrack soon, that video is part of a bigger video project.

My main point of contention is that vendors who are not paying vendors should not be able to free load on the forum. Maybe that's not a rule here. If not I guess I should stop paying.

As for my statement that the engine coolant temperatures should not be a problem with any good aftermarket intercooler, that's because the stock thermostat has enough range so that it's never fully open in normal conditions. If you partially block the core the stock thermostat will compensate by simply opening up more. Of course there is a limit, perhaps if you were rallying the car in Death Valley it would be a problem, but I haven't seen that in any modern turbo car.

The issue is the A.C. especially in hot areas. Best case you will need a higher fan speed for a given amount of cabin cooling.

Every intercooler has pros and cons. I'm not being critical of Jason's intercooler, I think it looks pretty good, but obvisouly I prefer ours, otherwise I would have gone with something else. We do have four intercooler on our site, and it should be clear which one we use on our own car.
