INCREASED COOLING PERFORMANCE FOR 2021+ GEN3 RAPTOR.
A high-performance intercooler is the most significant upgrade for your turbocharged Ford EcoBoost engine. Also known as the ‘C-A-C’ (Charge Air Cooler), the intercooler’s job is to cool the charged air temperatures and prevent knock. The problem is OEM coolers can reach 190-220F at max load! (this is way too hot). With only the Full-Race Intercooler upgrade installed, Inlet Air Temp (IAT) can drop 90+ degrees, controlling temps at or near ambient.
The Full-Race V2 Intercooler is the most brutal and highest-flowing intercooler ever developed for the Ford Raptor and EcoBoost F-150 trucks. Featuring aerodynamic cast end tanks with internal flow dividers, this hardcore intercooler supports a 1000cfm flow rate (that’s a 70% increase of internal flow area over stock), and limits pressure drops to <1psi at 700+hp airflow rates.

Our solution uses efficient and durable bar-and-plate intercoolers with optimized Fin pitch and expertly TIG-welded end tanks in precise fixtures. This intercooler uses a 3.0″ inlet / 3.0″ outlet and is available with water/meth bungs on the cold side charge pipe. Each intercooler is individually tested for leaks up to 50psi, as even the tiniest hole can cause a dramatic loss in power. Since the stock EcoBoost intercooler mounting location is anything but ideal, Full-Race focused on installing a steel bumper, bull bar, snowplow, and virtually any other form of F-150 front-end upgrade that is fully compatible with this intercooler.

The 2015+ EcoBoost Ford F-150 (and its hardcore Gen 2/Gen 3 Raptor brethren) is the sort of truck that can tackle the worst forms of worksite abuse and then shift gears to take on some serious off-road action over the weekend. Unfortunately, even the most hardcore trucks have their inherent pitfalls, with the intercooler portion of this pickup being one of its most significant weaknesses.
Also known as the CAC (charge air cooler), the stock intercooler unit on the F-150 is tucked beneath the radiator and sits toward the lower portion of the front grille. The OE EcoBoost intercooler is little more than an aluminum core affixed to a couple of equally dinky plastic end tanks, which is not ideal for durability or for keeping intake air temperatures in check. Additionally, the stock intercooler does not allow the fitment of an aftermarket bumper (or a slew of other front-mount accessories). It will not support adding larger turbos or a tune on stock turbos.

Simply put, the stock EcoBoost intercooler unit is not cool at all, and its replacement should be a top priority when modifying an F-150 with a twin-turbo 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost engine.
Full-Race eliminates these issues via an aerospace-grade intercooler core with TIG welded end tanks with internal flow dividers. It then gives it a hand-fabricated lower support beam constructed from high-strength steel for additional rigidity and longevity. Inlet and outlet sizing has been boosted to accommodate 3″ piping on each side, with the cold side of the charge pipe being fully customizable for those looking to slap in some water/meth injectors. Each intercooler can also be powder-coated black or gunmetal for additional appearance and protective purposes, with throttle body spacers for extra boost ports optional. A Turbosmart Vee Port EM Valve or a Smart Port blow-off valve can be added to the mix for those looking to get the most out of their EcoBoost engine.

OEM Electronic Blow Off Valve option (eBOV)
In high humidity or rainy environments, the stock intercooler position can lead to condensation water building up inside the stock cooler. This water can be introduced into the engine upon sudden acceleration and boost, causing a misfire event. We recommend using a mechanical vent-to-atmosphere BOV (blow-off valve) on the lower charge pipe after the intercooler. These can help evacuate moisture from the charge air stream before it enters the engine’s throttle body. The 2015+ EBOV may leak a boost above 22psi, so we strongly recommend using a mechanical BOV for any high-boost setups.
