Creative marketing for sure. Three back to back runs inside a garage with front of truck up against the wall is far more stress than the truck running a quarter mile pass with fresh air running across the intercooler.
Did it work in keeping temps down under the same conditions, absolutely, but for them to say it added 60hp is a stretch.
Understood but still wonky that they are saying it adds 60hp. Like Bob said, prevents heat soak loss of up to 60hp.Look in the ceiling above the hood of that truck. There's a directional air mover system that make it feel like a hurricane in that dyno cell. It's nuts.
^ yes we do
Exactly. An intercooler prevents HP loss. New math......Yeah, saying it "added" 60hp is marketing speak. In reality, it is ensuring that your F150 EB truck doesn't LOSE power due to heat.
Baselines:
#1 318whp
#2 295whp (drop of 23whp)
#3 266whp (drop of 52whp)
Pulls with Livernois intercooler:
#1 326whp (increase of 8whp from baseline #1 pull)
#2 315whp (drop of 11whp from first pull with intercooler)
#3 318whp (drop of 8whp from first pull with intercooler)
Saying you gain 60hp is a real stretch. Truth is, it prevents/reduces heat related power loss.
I used a Mishimoto J-Line on my 14 Sport. Total cost with the adapters and couplings was around $350.Need something like that for the 3.5TT Explorer
Maybe a year at the very most but damn is it pricey. Cutting is required just like I had to do with my J-Line.
