Whipple heat exchanger options and discussion
I saw this getting buried in the other thread, wanted to give it its own spot.
What all is out there? I saw the one from Whipple, how do the dimensions compare to the one it comes with and better yet how much larger is it than the 15-17?
What about the Afco unit mentioned?
Im on a road trip in my F250 this weekend, got stuck in an hour long traffic jam yesterday that made me realize my 15-17 Whipple HE with no fans just isn’t gonna cut it in the south. I’d like to retrofit one of the 18 HE’s in there to use the radiator fan plus gain some coolant volume.

Specs on the afco unit. There website states 2010 and up F150. Ive run this unit for the past three summers and have never had IAT numbers over 133F. Normal temps are 114F- 118F after heat soaking. 130s was while pulling a car trailer up I35 and sitting in construction traffic jams. I have modified mine to excepts -16an inlet and out lets and a high flow water pump.

I can vouch for the whipple fans. There's a long story behind this but the short version is that they work. My truck with fans lost basically nothing on 3 consecutive dyno pulls. My buddy's truck lost a lot, over 35 hp and 30 ftlb on just the second pull and the exchanger was too hot to touch (>130 f).
