This is true, except I don't see pushing much more boost out of the stock set up. Ford already has it push 21.5psi. With the motor being over 10:1 compression I don't see adding much more boost. I'll have to wait and see some testing before I order a new intercooler for a bolt-on modded FiST.Superly fly often with aftermarket coolers you get better flow in addition to greater size for better cooling. Generally the sacrifice is a bit of boost lag, but in modern cars, its not much at all. The positives outweigh the negatives. The larger inter cooler allows you to push more boost as well. A larger i/c by itself won't do too much for power, but the cooler temps will help eliminate any pinging or detonation from high heat.
What are the advantages of going with an aftermarket intercooler? I'm new to the Fiesta community and don't know much about the OEM setup. By replacing the IC with a bigger unit, don't you sacrifice flow vs attaining cooler temperatures? Any info is appreciated.
OP says the pressure drop is less than 1.5psi. Does this mean peak boost numbers are dropped by 1.5psi? if so, less boost would make less power? no? I understand the additional cooling will cool the air charge and make more power, it would be interesting to see some dyno numbers with "just" the intercooler and nothing else. Thanks. .... BTW, how would I make a new "paragraph" on this forum. "enter" doesn't do anything![]()
Looking at all of the aftermarket intercoolers available and there is probably at least 6 or so including the UK offerings, Levels Performance appear to be the only ones that have actually made the core smaller in length and used mandrel bent piping to achieve a straight inlet tank design. The standard intercooler with its plastic end tanks and shape 90 inlets are a poor compromise Ford has chosen and definitely reduce the performance of the intercooler. Replacing the OEM Fist intercooler is one of the first things I would do to increase performance.
