I would say the IAT's aren't as much of a concern since that is before the IC in the first place, the charge air temps is where you will see the difference.

Here is the stock IC:

Whipple:

The outside air temps were over 100 degrees on both of these logs at the time. There was less than a 5 degree rise in charge temp with the whipple (more pulls as you can see as well). The stock IC saw temps rise 53 degrees in a single pull.

That's pretty significant IMO. Thank for posting that @boosted_st (y)

I agree that it is, the size of the stock IC was the same as the one on the Focus ST I had with the 2.0l 4 cylinder (I upgraded that one too). So no real surprise it was that bad on this.

Thank you for the information! I’m going to see if I can find the charge air temp on the OBD Fusion App. If that doesn’t work, I’ll datalog and find it there.

Well, no luck getting the Charge Air Temp to work with the OBD Fusion App. The PID’s are there but apparently the Explorer is not providing the information.

Outside of a ZFG tune, the Whipple IC should be the one mod everyone makes before adding any other parts. Hands down.

Agree unless you never really beat on it. For short bursts you may not notice a difference but if you are on the boost heavy, temps will definitely shoot way up with the stock unit.

I agree that a bigger more efficient intercooler is need ,but how does that effect your warranty. Will it break your warranty? Per Ford any modds will. Tunes can be taken out or concealed and not detected

For sure the warranty on the factory IC you are replacing will be void. But the rest of your car’s warranty should still be intact. Putting in an IC wouldn’t necessarily be related to, let’s say the brake components or your electrical components. So if you get the midpipe rattle, as most do. They most likely won’t come back and say “no, we can’t replace your midpipes because you swapped out your IC” Each dealership will be different though.
