Will these KN Charge Pipes work with the Whipple Intercooler?

Will these KN Charge Pipes work with the Whipple Intercooler?

Yes they will!

We have a big batch of K&N Charge pipes on order. They are a few months out last we heard though!

surprised Whipple didnt release their own charge pipes btw

Ask Whipple? Frankly, I think I may just get the tune only. I watched a video where they did the tune and got 60 additional xHP and the intercooler added just 10 more.

intercooler is to handle the heat generated from the extra power, weak link for the 2.3t

Pretty sure tune without Intercooler led to Ecoboom

Gosh, want to avoid ecoboom. Probably too cheap to even get the tune anyways. Pretty happy with the Bronco 2.3l just as it is today. Thanks for that, though.

How much power (HP/TQ) did you get out of your Mustang 2.3?

How much power (HP/TQ) did you get out of your Mustang 2.3?

regular dyno 311/373 before the downpipe and wastegate actuator

After, on a truck dyno, I forget the torque but 275hp (again, dyno for trucks as JDM engineering ran lightnings, F150s and Raptors on them)

I have the AFe charge pipes and the mishimoto intercooler (not installed yet). Had to remove the charge pipes along with the K&N intake and blow off valve to get dealership to check error codes. Turbo wouldn’t produce boost and it’s happened to me twice in about 1600 miles or so. After shutting the vehicle off for 10 mins the problem goes away. Dealership count find anything after clearing the codes and couldn’t replicate the problem, which I told them they wouldn’t be able to. Problem showed up after the charge pipes were installed (roughly 1000 miles) I believe the wastegate is malfunctioning with the extra air flow to the turbo. Dealership was no help. Going to reinstall the pipes and intake (bov is already back on) along with the intercooler and see what happens. No boost is a wastegate issue, I was told it could be the BOV… I laughed at the service manager and said I can hear the BOV working just fine. Bronco is noticeably slower with the aftermarkets not on. I hope someone comes out with a better electronic wastegate at some point.

Good article on S3 about Ecoboost bolt ons

“

We did several tests with the new intercooler, to compare the charge-air temperatures. The intercooler was able to pick up 30whp and 11wtq with zero tuning changes!

New numbers = 275whp and 315wtq.

The stock intercooler was really holding it back! Compared to the peak of 173 degrees of the stock intercooler, the new CP-E intercooler kept the peak temperature down at 90 degrees. Keep in mind, it was 83 degrees in the shop! We also loaded the COBB Stage-2 tune as well, which is made to optimize a larger intercooler. It picked up a few more HP here.

We then went back and loaded the stock tune – just to see if there was any difference with the bigger intercooler on a totally stock tune. Even with the throttle being closed most of the run (due to the aftermarket intake), the car picked up 10hp in the top-end vs the stock baseline. This shows that even if you don’t plan on tuning the car, the intercooler is still a worthwhile investment for efficiency, cooling, and power.”

Problem is the mustang doesn’t use active shutters in front of its intercooler on the performance package, unlike the Bronco
