CVF Performance Intercooler Upgrade for 2021 - 2024 Ford Bronco 2.3L + 2.7L and 2024 Ford Ranger 2.3L + 2.7L
Key Features:
Direct bolt-on replacement - no modifications required other than removal of the AGS (active grille shutters)
+28HP and +45TQ gains on the dyno with no tune required (data in graphs)
+31 degree reduction in Charge Air Temps. (IAT2) observed in real-world conditions (data in graph below)
58% greater internal core volume and 144% increase in external fin surface in comparison to the OEM intercooler
High-flow cast end tanks (featuring the CVF logo) ensure considerably better airflow efficiency than welded aluminum
TIG-welded bar-and-plate construction
CVF Lifetime Warranty
LESS HEAT, MORE POWER
The CVF Performance Intercooler for the 2021 - 2024 Ford Bronco 2.3L + 2.7L and 2024 Ford Ranger 2.3L + 2.7L is a direct fit replacement that is considerably larger than the stock unit. Specifically designed to keep the cool air flowing, it features a core that is 58% larger than the OEM unit.
EXCEPTIONAL CONSTRUCTION FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Manufactured from top-grade aluminum, the CVF Performance Intercooler features a TIG-welded bar-and-plate design for maximum durability and fully cast end tanks to ensure maximum flow of air into the unit and out to your turbo - equaling more HP.

LESS HEAT, MORE POWER
Improve the performance of your Bronco by replacing the small, inefficient stock intercooler to reduce heat and produce more top-end power. This intercooler is a direct fit replacement that features a core over 58% larger than the stock unit.
As the charts show in the images above, the CVF Performacne Intercooler saw Charge Air Temps. (IAT2) DECREASE -9 degrees compared to the OEM intercooler's +22 degree INCREASE during a 20 - 80 MPH run under similar conditions: the same stretch of road, the same vehicle, and in the same ambient temps. (the only change to the vehicle was the intercooler).
The CVF Performance Intercooler realized a whopping +31 degree improvement over the OEM intercooler in real-world street testing by an unbiased, third-party tester where it matters: on the street in day-to-day driving. Taking it one step further, the above chart shows that on the dyno the CVF Performance Intercooler alone yielded a +28HP and +45TQ gain on a 2.7L model. Note that this is WITHOUT a tune, which would help enhance the gains even further.
EXCEPTIONAL CONSTRUCTION FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Manufactured from top-grade aluminum, the CVF Performance Intercooler features a TIG-welded proprietary bar-and-plate design for maximum durability and fully cast end tanks (imprinted with the CVF logo) to ensure maximum flow of air into the unit and out to your turbo - equaling more HP.
APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION
The active grille shutters (AGS) have to be removed for installation. There is no check engine light associated with removal of the AGS and they can be placed back on the vehicle if the intercooler is removed.

Product Function & Benefits
Optimized Performance:
Temperature regulation is crucial for power production and delivery. When engine or charge temperatures rise too high, your vehicle automatically limits power output to prevent damage. This applies to both stock and tuned vehicles.
Enhanced Efficiency:
Upgrading the stock intercooler helps maintain lower charge temperatures for extended periods. This means your engine can operate at peak efficiency for longer, minimizing power limitations due to high temperatures.
Tune-Related Impact & Tuner Recommendation
Recommended vs Required:
• Upgrading the intercooler is not required for tuning. However, it is strongly recommended to maximize gains.
• This modification will support maximum gains from tuning and any future modifications, like a cold air intake.
• Upgraded intercoolers do not require a tune.
• Adding one to a tuned vehicle does not require a tune update.
Explorer-Specific Information
1. High or excessive engine and charge temperatures are seen within ¼ mile of spirited driving on the stock intercooler. This is called heat soak.
2. When excessive temperatures are present, the engine automatically pulls power to prevent engine damage (this is called a ‘safety’). This happens with a stock or Custom Tune applied.
3. The benefits of tuning, and other mods, become null when heat soak sets in, and the safety is applied.
4. All of the available intercoolers provide adequate cooling for extended performance on stock and ZFG Tunes.
