Best Intercooler/High flow airbox upgrade?

[Mad_Motorhead]

Exactly. What would you say you would be at after the AFE intake as of horsepower

Probably around 470 crank horsepower tops

Links to what? There is no link to anyone making 500hp out of a 3.0L ecoboost with just an airbox and an intercooler.

There’s several that have done it with downpipes, fuel pump, injectors, etc…

Links to your claims the fuel system has been proven to fall short when a custom tune is done with an airbox. I’d like to see IDCs and fuel tables.

I linked you a 3.0 ecoboost Bronco Raptor done by 5Star tuning with an intake making almost 500 bhp in this thread, maybe you should watch it (even gave you a timestamp).

Nobody has more experience tuning the 3.0 EB than these guys…
Even with an upgraded fuel pump and injectors they aren’t making 500hp w/ E85.

I agree with all other posts here, 500hp won’t happen with just intercooler and CAI, it will definitely require a tune. And injectors, pump etc… (Nostrum, looking at you)
That being said, the FP tuning offered isn’t accessible to anyone outside of the US and Canada (as per FP email I received) therefor a custom tune is definitely the way to go for anyone outside these countries.

if memory serves, ZFG offers a tune for the RR

Here’s a link to a few nice things for your power build !

cheers !

Sorry, just saw your post ! Missed the second page

Big difference between RWHP and BHP (crank). OP didn't specify and is looking for a general number. Details matter.

I showed a video with crank rated HP numbers on a dyno with an intake... the ZFG tune data you are comparing is showing RWHP so we aren't comparing apples to apples. Not once did I say RWHP. The Ford Performance tune numbers always get tossed around with crank HP too. Clearly RWHP is a better metric, but for any comparison you have to use the same metrics.

Aaaaand that absolute beast of an engine fits under the hood of the RR, doesn’t it !? (Hex wrote while Praying hard and throwing signs of the cross in the air…)

It's a roomy engine bay. If I do keep this truck a long time it will likely go under transplant surgery for a Coyote 5.0 with SC or maybe even a 5.2 Raptor R crate motor.

If Ford gets a wild hair to add a Ranger Raptor "R" with 5.0 and I'm upgrading for sure.

There was a place that swaps the Coyote into the 6G Bronco at SEMA, but it's hardly plug-n-play and more than likely how the RRaptor would end up if attempted. (ignore the Bronco specific stuff in that pic)

Yea not expecting plug and play at all. This is down the road post warranty and would expect transmission, harness, ECU, as well as some changes to handle the weight difference etc. etc. Again - if the truck stays with me 8-10 years without a better option available, a heart transplant would be in the cards.

@Slyder and @Catalyst , WOW, I was thinking of doing the same much further down the line but had no idea it was actually possible already (with the truck being so new and all)
Many many things could happen from now until then, but great info, thanks guys !

just going by the quoted numbers ( I haven’t had it on a dyno), it should by around 475HP / 550TQ.
Not bad for an utterly dependable daily driver.

What’s the total you say you would have to spend to get it to that number?

I installed on mine a JB4 tune, JB4 meth, Fabulous Fab CAI, and Fenix IC. It went from 345 whp stock to 417 whp on the most aggressive JB4 map with 93 octane. When I did this in 2023 there were'nt much options available for the RR.

I have seen other intercoolers much larger, I would upgrade to one of those, other than that I would stick with the same other items.

I hope the info helps.
