Full-Race 2021+ Ford Bronco & 2024+ Ranger 2.3L/2.7L EcoBoost Intercooler

The Ford Bronco and Ranger are built for adventure—but when the going gets tough, heat soak from the stock intercooler can rob power and throttle response when you need it most. Whether you're blasting through the desert, towing heavy loads, or anything in between, the Full-Race Intercooler upgrade ensures your 2.3L or 2.7L EcoBoost engine stays cool, consistent, and ready for anything.

With a 48% increase in core volume, this intercooler is stronger, more efficient, and significantly more capable than stock. It features an expanded core height for increased cooling capacity, along with a high-performance bar-and-plate core and TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks for maximum durability. This advanced design drastically improves heat dissipation, eliminating heat soak and keeping intake temperatures lower for more reliable power in any condition.

Plus, it fits seamlessly into the factory location with no cutting or permanent modifications required—a true plug-and-play upgrade that installs in about an hour with basic hand tools, no lift needed.

Features & Benefits

• 48% Increase in Core Volume: A significantly larger bar-and-plate core improves cooling efficiency, airflow, and heat dissipation for better performance under load.
• Lower Intake Air Temperatures (IATs): Reduces intake air temps by up to 19°F compared to stock*, keeping your EcoBoost engine running stronger, longer, and more consistently—even in extreme conditions.
• High-Performance Bar-and-Plate Core: Maximizes heat dissipation and airflow for stronger, more reliable power delivery compared to the restrictive factory tube-and-fin intercooler.
• TIG-Welded Cast Aluminum End Tanks: Provides unmatched durability and strength, eliminating the weak plastic end tanks found on the stock intercooler.
• Direct-Fit, Plug-and-Play Installation: Bolts directly into the factory location using OEM mounting points, ensuring a perfect fit with no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications required.
• Built for Durability: Engineered to handle off-road abuse, high boost levels, and extreme temperatures. 
• Warranty: Your investment is protected with a comprehensive one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, providing you with peace of mind and assurance in your purchase.

Application List

• Full-Race Bar-and-Plate Intercooler Core: A high-efficiency, large-volume intercooler featuring a bar-and-plate core that is 48% larger than stock. Designed for superior cooling, heat dissipation, and durability under high boost conditions.
• Custom Full-Race Mounting Bracket: Engineered for a perfect fit, this custom bracket allows for a taller core than would otherwise be possible, maximizing cooling performance while ensuring secure installation in the factory location without modifications.

How does the Full-Race Bronco & Ranger Intercooler improve performance?

Heat soak is a common problem with the stock intercooler, especially during hard pulls or off-road adventures. The Full-Race intercooler reduces intake air temperatures, ensuring your engine stays cool and retains power even under extreme conditions.

How difficult is installation?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes less than an hour using basic hand tools. No lift is required, and all necessary hardware is included. While many enthusiasts choose to install it themselves, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal fit and performance.

How does this compare to the stock intercooler?

The factory intercooler is a tube-and-fin design with plastic end tanks, which can heat soak quickly under load and struggle with durability in high-boost or off-road conditions. In contrast, the Full-Race Intercooler features a high-efficiency bar-and-plate core and TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks, providing superior heat dissipation, increased airflow, and greater strength for high-performance driving.

In terms of size, the Full-Race Intercooler offers a 48% increase in core volume over stock, translating to significantly better cooling capacity and improved charge air temperatures.

• OEM Intercooler Core Size: 448mm L x 178mm H x 82mm T

• Full-Race Intercooler Core Size: 466mm L x 200mm H x 115mm T

This larger core and stronger construction help maintain lower intake air temperatures (IATs), reduce heat soak, and provide consistent power delivery, whether you're towing, off-roading, or pushing higher boost levels with performance upgrades.

What are the benefits of TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks?

The OEM intercooler uses plastic end tanks, which can crack or leak under high boost pressure, extreme temperatures, or off-road stress. The Full-Race Intercooler replaces these weak plastic components with TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks, ensuring maximum durability and reliability for performance applications. This eliminates a common failure point found in factory and lower-quality aftermarket intercoolers, making it a must-have upgrade for EcoBoost owners pushing their vehicle to the limits.

Will this affect my vehicle’s warranty?

Aftermarket parts can affect your warranty. Consult your warranty agreement or dealer to understand the impact of these repairs on your coverage.

Does this intercooler retain factory features like adaptive cruise control or parking sensors?

Yes! This intercooler retains full functionality of factory systems, including adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and 360-degree cameras.

*Dyno testing in winter conditions showed that the Full-Race Intercooler lowered intake air temperatures (IATs) by up to 19°F compared to the stock intercooler. This improvement helps reduce heat soak and ensures more consistent power delivery, especially under demanding conditions.
