Product Development Test Notes:
During initial testing of the Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L turbo engine platform, we encountered symptoms that the factory intercooler was insufficient in supporting the airflow even for the stock turbo (200+ degrees Fahrenheit intake air temperatures and steep drop in mid to top-end power).
We investigated the issues and realized the following:
First, charged air was not flowing fast enough through the intercooler for engine consumption. Due to excessive pressure drop across the core, the factory intercooler was identified as a major choking point. In fact, the inefficiency of the factory intercooler is the most severe case we encountered from any turbo platform including all of the Ford EcoBoost engines.
Second, low-density attributes of the factory intercooler posed a major issue for its thermal cooling capabilities. As a result, the factory intercooler not only restricted airflow, but also failed to effectively remove heat from the reduced airflow passing through the core. On a cold engine, one single 3rd and 4th gear run resulted in charge air temperatures beyond 200 degrees Fahrenheit! This is very hot! It's unsustainable for the engine to operate continuously with these air temperatures and remain reliable.
We replaced the factory intercooler with a sufficient high density and high flowing Garrett intercooler core. Immediately we recovered the pressure drop at the core and logged charge air temperatures 50 degrees cooler! Finally, we are able to provide adequate thermal cooling for the turbo system.
The dyno chart represents eliminating the airflow bottleneck from the factory intercooler and enabling ALL (unrestricted) airflow to the engine. Additionally, cooler charged air temperatures (the result of improved thermal cooling) create increased air density for the engine. The results, A LOT more power and torque (and available consistently due to less heat soak).
The ATP Intercooler (Garrett core) for the Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L works exceptionally well with the stock turbo and performs even better with an upgraded turbo (results coming soon). Invest in one!
