New Intercooler Option - CP-E

[Locust13CT]

Came across it while looking for Labor Day Sale stuff on LethalPerformance, I don't know much of the company, but its noted in the description it fits both Bronco Raptor and Ranger Raptor.

Holy cow that is expensive.

Seems middle of the range, cheaper than Cobb and Turbosmart, more expensive than the rest... Power coat adds $100.....

CP-Es performed well on the Mustang EBs, they do a lot of work on flow pathways and I would say they are worth the cost if you value quality and efficiency. You will most likely experience least amount of lag with CP-E than with most other designs, generally it should drive like stock but with obviously better charge temps.

I had a CPe on my Fiesta ST. Great intercooler with great charge temps.

Bronco reviews reported similar IC temps to the rest of similar sized ICs as expected. I would wager this has the least mount of lag and most even charge temp distribution becuase of the internal turbulence reduction fins that even out airflow better throughout the core.

In my mind thats a better overall design that maximizes core usage so you dont need a gigantic core that induces lag. Ill probably go this route and I also really like that its 100% drop in including keeping both front and rear shutters without cutting like the Wagner. Should pair very well with FP Pro Cal.

Why do I want to keep my shutters?

1. Front shutters help with faster warmup. If you remove the shutters in front of the IC you pull a down draft in front of the radiator even with the radiator shudders still closed. In winter I want a fast warmup in winter / cooler days of spring / fall etc. to minimize cold start wear as my truck gets driven year around!

2. Rear shutters close at low speeds so the radiator fan pulls air through the IC, this is beneficial for low speed towing and for trails where speeds are low.

This is the only IC that allows you to keep 100% factory ducting without cutting things up. Wagner would be my second choice since you can still maintain factory ducting with a little DIY modding.
