Had an aftermarket intercooler from my 15. Installing it on my 17 was the first mod I made. With no other changes I realized a very noteable increase in power from 5500 rpm to redline.I noticed a performance increase with the Cp-e and Ford Performance tune regardless of air temp. Especially in the higher RPM .
As I noted above you get a noticeable power increase with the intercooler on an otherwise stock car, may not be as much as you could get if you tuned for it but it is an increase. The FP tune does not take advantage of the intercooler and I do not plan to go back to the Unleashed tune I had on my 15 any time soon.newbie here but just curious. what is the benefit of installing an intercooler before a tune rather than after?
This is true no matter which tune you are considering. I'm not sure what dgc333 meant with the claim that "[t]he FP tune does not take advantage of the intercooler," especially since he correctly noted that even the stock tune will benefit from an upgraded intercooler.So the order of which to install first wouldn't matter if I got the FP tune?
I'm running the CPE FMIC with VS2+. Not sure how that turbo compares to Turbonetics but the car dynoed 368.4 WHP on a Mustang dyno on 91 Oct with WMI (Adam states this should be close to E30 in octane). Mustang dynos show lower WHP than Dynojet by between 10-15% so I estimate that the car should show around 400 WHP on a Dynojet dyno.[MENTION=14142]Ron@cp-e[/MENTION] I installed the cp-e™ ΔCore™ FMIC on my 2017 Mustang EcoBoost a while ago, I bought it from Turbo Zentrum, which is one of your suppliers in Europe (Germany).
I am now planning to upgrade the stock turbo and I am interested in the Precision Turbonetics Drop-in kit (as shown in this link: https://adamtuned.com/collections/f...on-turbo-upgrade-for-2016-ford-focus-rs-11918). This turbo is supposed to make a power of approximately 380-400whp on 93 Oct fuel (100 Ron in European terms). Will the cp-e ΔCore FMIC be able to support this power safely for the motor without the risk of heat soak? I need to know this before I proceed to the upgraded turbo kit.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
I had almost the exact same experience, but was able to get the sensor in with some lube and lots of force without shaving.Did anyone else have a problem fitting the MAP sensor in the CP-e intercooler? Even with some lubricant I couldn't get it to fit. I broke my original sensor and had to order another. Only way I could get it to fit was by shaving some of the plastic around the sensor. Also the intercooler wouldn't even fit in all the mounting points properly but it's still on pretty sturdy, just a little crooked under the radiator.
Okay, I thought was the only one for a second. Hopefully the shaved plastic wont affect anything with the sensor.I had almost the exact same experience, but was able to get the sensor in with some lube and lots of force without shaving.
