GPE HI-FLO Ported Throttle Body & Intake Manifold - Install & Review

[MWILD]

Gotcha. Not my area of expertise, so I wasn't sure. Thanks Duc

You can always reach out to GPE and ask. They might be able to?

Should this always be the last performance upgrade or would you get decent benefits if you started with this?

I’m not entirely sure. I would guess you’d still see gains, but not sure to what extent.

Clink on some links if you need to know pricing and do a little math, but I doubt that was your objective anyway.

I very much like to compare potential mods for myself with the power per dollar metric. So sure, I expect this mod to be terrible in that regard.

Manifold Riser w/ throttle body spacer

I am curious how you would compare the Boomba manifold riser and throttle body spacer to the mod you have done. They are claiming 11 to 19 hp and you seem to be in that same range.

I suppose one could even do both mods at the same time, But would the results be linear ?

I've done about everything else bolt on, stuck with the milder Ford Performance Tune, but had been looking at the Boomba next

I'd consider doing both, figure it couldn't hurt. I just need said parts to make it work

I’ve just done both and it’s worth it wait and do them at the same time. I’ll have a full write-up the Boomba stuff soon enough. In short, they add power, but it’s mostly noticeable when at WOT, while the ported parts are more noticeable in day to day driving. They make a good combo

Also, GPE is offering 7% off on the ported combo until Jan 7th, 2025

Add me to the list that got the ported combo installed, and it has been a great experience so far. Prior to this, the only performance mods I had were the Procal tune and charge pipes/intercooler upgrade. The Procal definitely made a difference, but I still hated the laggy pedal response. I wasn't looking for a performance mod as much as I just wanted a more responsive pedal for just daily driving. This combo has helped with this a great deal. I would compare it to something between normal and sport mode, or probably the first couple notches on a pedal commander. I've had the pedal commander on a couple of Toyotas in the past, they would eventually always throw a code and one time it put me into limp mode trying to get onto the freeway so I wanted a more "bolt on" solution. I also thought the pedal commander felt too artificial, this ported combo is just very smooth and linear, not jerky at all.

Like @MWILD says, it just makes the daily driving experience more enjoyable.

Awesome! Appreciate you sharing your experience.

How do we get the 7% off? Is there a code we can use on ebay?

Yup, just use code FSFB2024

i wonder if they're interested in doing a ported intake manifold for the 2.3?

Reach out to the owner of GPE (Joe). He may be able to help.

I have installed all performance upgrades except this and a cat-back exhaust, my car is a daily driver + a go dune bashing with it on the weekend … and i live in a place near from Dubai.

I wanted to order this combo, but after seeing the website and most of the orders are sold using ebay i was not comfortable testing it, as if i faced any issues in the long run it would be difficult to contact them and find a solution fast. The product look like a quality product, but how is it after years of use?… I think it is still new on the bronco but they sell similar products for other cars as well.

Modification list:
1-CVF Stainless Steel Catted Downpipes
2-CVF Performance Intercooler
3-Injen Cold Air Intake System
4-Injen Intercooler Pipes
5-Turbosmart Blow Off Valve
6-SPD 170 Degree Thermostat
7- swapped the OEM ECU to an F-150 ECU for better flexibility in the tune.
8- SCT Custom tune.
9- Dual Ford performance Cach can

I would not hesitate to purchase from them. eBay is the store front because it’s low overhead as a seller. You’re buying OEM parts that he has then ported to flow better. So it’s not a lot that can go wrong and easy to swap back.

from a daily driver pedal response, this was a great mod for me.

Your vids and review are what pushed me to take the plunge and splurge on the whole setup. You saw my write up and the response I got. Only been four days, but happy with the changes. Everything is smoother. And the pedal response....

BTW- your install vids were invaluable. I think I watched them about 20 times before the install, followed your advice on tools, etc. Took me less than two hours start to finish. I really got to find a dyno to see my improvements.
