According to this article, cooling capacity has been increased and the license plate is now in the center. If they made the CAC larger and/or took off the shield that they added before wonder what they are doing for the condensation issue now?

Hi.

Wellsir, some aftermarket CACs advertise their units, due to the increased size, 'help' reduce the condensation issue - Wagner's one of 'em:

Dunno exactly why that is, but would like to know ... but if it is legit, might that not also apply here?

Thanks fer the article!

I have a Wagner but have only had it installed for a month or two. I won't know until spring and summer when it really gets humid around here how much it helps.

I think Ford more than likely relocated the intercooler and I think the guys in the catch can threads have found the crud that's getting in to our intercoolers, check those threads out! I've been jonesing for a full race or Wagner intercooler for some time now but that rx catch can is definately my next purchase

I'm going to get one (RX) too. It won't be a problem for me to drain the can, do it on my motorcycle all the time. Just another memory thing.....like setting the alarm clock. LOL

I too plan on making the RX can my next purchase, however, will it stop the condensation/water build up in the intercooler? My truck is a stock 2011 and thank God I've had no problems however will the RX can stop the water build up in the intercooler? Or is there something else I need to be doing to stop water build up in the intercooler?

Will it stop it 100%? Probably not.... will it help, probably.

I think a mix of the catch can and the weep hole that engineermike's thread touches on will come together to prevent at a minimum-----a large gulp of catastrophic liquid into the engine.

-----before you ask, the weep hole will not result in a loss of boost, his thread "scientifically" discusses why. In a nutshell----it's electronically controlled so you will still see the same amount of boost.

Thanks for another great post, JDF. As you know, I also have the Wagner CAC. I plan to drill the weep hole in it when I don't have to lay in the snow to do it. The Wagner didn't stop the condensation problem, just provided a bigger collection area.

So the licence plate is back in the centre. The very early '11 EB's had the same front valance as the N/A engines.

There was no reason to have that IC located as low as it originally was. If it's been moved up and increased in size then good!

This has been my thought.
