[QUOTE="weaponsfree, post: 1789183, member: 57133"] Decided to install CVF's new Titan v2 Intercooler in my 2019 Raptor. 38K miles. Stock ECU, no other engine mods. Core is definitely thicker than OEM. Definitely higher quality and finish than OEM. (CVF Titan v2) [ATTACH type="full" width="530px" alt="IMG_0847.jpeg"]357720[/ATTACH] OEM [ATTACH type="full" width="531px" alt="IMG_0853.jpeg"]357721[/ATTACH] Compared side by side (CVF Titan v2 back) (OEM front) [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0851.jpeg"]357722[/ATTACH] It's a very tight fit so here's my installation notes, took me 5 hours to install due to many trial and errors so here's some tips to make your install not as long as mine: [LIST=1] [*]The new intercooler is heavier, a floor jack is recommended to help raise it to position. Use a 2x4 between the jack and intercooler to protect finish and structure (it's Aluminum) [*]When removing the assembly from the vehicle be careful of the BOV cable, it's not easily visible and parts of the wire harness is taped to the assembly. Have a knife the cut the tape. [*]Air guides definitely needs to be removed, however any trimming of shroud is not necessary. [*]Have a shop towel on hand to wipe some oil from the chargepipes. Especially if you have a higher mileage Raptor. Mine had 38K miles and there were some. [*]During re-install, position the intercooler fan first then have an assistant raise the intercooler into the position with a floor jack. The floor jack will help keep it while you do step 4. [*]Re-install the hoses only after the the intercooler is in place. Do not yet tighten the clamps but it's a good idea to push the hoses as far as they go. If you do this, trimming of the shroud is not needed. Make sure the clamp screws are indexed so that they can easily be turned at your working angle. [*]Once the hoses are in place (not tightened) you may remove the jack. The grip of the hoses are enough to keep the assemblies in place at this point. [*]Re-install the lower intercooler bracket. I found it easier to start by bolting down the driver side of the bracket. [/LIST] Testing I used Forscan lite to datalog runs. Did 3 15-85mph passes with 5 minute cool down in between to simulate real world conditions and to add gradual heat-soaking. Baseline 3rd pass: Maximum charge air temp was 145 degrees (F). Ambient that morning was 95 deg (F). Maximum difference from ambient 50 degrees (F). [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screen Shot 2022-06-06 at 5.17.28 PM.png"]357723[/ATTACH] Post CVF Titan v2 install - 3rd run: Maximum charge air temp was 127 degrees (F).
