Full Race Intercooler / CAC Upgrade Kit price listed and added to cart!
#52
I just placed my order with Jeremy @ Full-Race for the CAC kit. I went with the anodizing and the meth injection bungs. I might not ever go with the meth injection but if one day I do, the bungs will be there. My main reason for ordering the kit is to prevent the condensation issue with the stock CAC. I have a 2012 with 3500 miles and have not had any issues nor do I want to have any.
The 2013 uses an electronic BOV which I am not a fan of. Im working on a couple designs to try and keep the stock electric BOV, but not sure which (if any) will go into production - been considering using an external aftermarket BOV ...
I've seen some high temps towing well beyond my personal comfort level(228f not being irresponsible with regard to speed, and weight), but my main concern is with the condensation issue. My wife uses the Eco for dd duties, and it has lost power on me 3 times, all documented, but she(lead foot) has no complaints. I look forward to hearing results with someone who has the condensate problem solved with your CAC, will order the same day, as Ford seems to not really care. How about a turbo for my Tundra?
If you are towing a heavy load often, and find yourself with elevated water temps - an external oil cooler located in the original FMIC position would be a good bet.. Ive been working on an external oil cooler kit (and debating pulling the winch off of our truck in favor of it..)
30hp/40tq seems to be the norm on these engines

the electric BOV is less expensive to mfg (only 1 and all plastic) and also quieter with the built in muffler chamber. The belief is most people (non enthusiasts) do not want to hear their turbos working. One thing that is interesting is the 2013 PCM is a hybrid between the 11-12 F150 and the 11-12 flex/SHO in order to accomdate this and a few other changes

yes we will have data as soon as the fmic is shipped to us @ Tuners Inc. We will also be datalogging with an Aeroforce gauge during street driving before and after install.

just as it comes. don't need the black anodizing as we want to show off the intercooler through the grille, and we'll add our own bung for our methanol nozzle.
if you think my stock truck looks good now... hopefully you'll like it next month when the TrueForged 20" Victory wheels come in and the 3.5/5 DJM drop is installed.
