Introduction
For enthusiasts aiming to enhance the performance of their 2020–2025 Ford Explorer ST, the CVF Performance Intercooler + Aluminum Pipe Kit Bundle offers a comprehensive solution. This kit is designed to improve airflow, reduce charge air temperatures, and increase overall engine efficiency, making it a valuable upgrade for those seeking to optimize their vehicle’s performance.
Key Features of the CVF Performance Intercooler
Superior Construction
The CVF Performance Intercooler is constructed from top-grade aluminum, featuring a TIG-welded bar-and-plate design. This construction ensures maximum durability and efficient heat dissipation. Fully cast end tanks are incorporated to promote optimal airflow into and out of the intercooler, contributing to increased horsepower.
Enhanced Cooling Capacity
Compared to the stock intercooler, the CVF unit offers a 214% increase in volume and a 260% greater frontal area. These enhancements lead to a significant reduction in charge air temperatures—up to 85 degrees Fahrenheit in real-world conditions—resulting in improved combustion efficiency and power output.
Aluminum Pipe Kit Advantages
Improved Airflow
The included aluminum pipe kit comprises 2.75″ cold-side and 2.25″ hot-side pipes, which outflow the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components by 28% and 15%, respectively. This increase in airflow contributes to better throttle response and overall engine performance.
Elimination of Restrictive OEM Components
The CVF pipe kit addresses and eliminates the crumpled section found in the OEM cold-side intercooler pipe, which can restrict airflow from the intercooler to the throttle body. By removing this bottleneck, the kit ensures a smoother and more efficient airflow path.
Installation and Compatibility
The CVF Performance Intercooler and Aluminum Pipe Kit are designed as direct bolt-on replacements, requiring no modifications for installation. This plug-and-play approach simplifies the upgrade process, making it accessible for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. The kit is specifically engineered for compatibility with 2020–2025 3.0L Ford Explorer ST models.
The Wrap up on the CVF Performance Intercooler
The CVF Performance Intercooler + Aluminum Pipe Kit Bundle presents a well-rounded upgrade for 2020–2025 Ford Explorer ST owners seeking to enhance their vehicle’s performance. With its robust construction, significant improvements in cooling capacity, and optimized airflow, this kit stands out as a valuable addition for those aiming to maximize their Explorer ST’s potential.
