I might be the only one in this thread (or at least this current bickering piece) that actually owns a ecoboost equipped vehicle?

Tell me again how I have pools of liquid in my intercooler...


btw, fur and angels.

 

And apparently it's a problem some people with aftermarket intercoolers on their Evos also share. Oh, and the Ford engineers, the people who work on the car and have real degrees, have said it's due to an efficiency surplus. Then the argument happened.

 

THANKS YOU!

nemsin's link(s) confirm what I've been saying the whole time. its not that the intercooler is cooling to well, its that the routing is designed in such a way that moister can collect somewhere in the intercooler/charge pipes. looks like a common problem in turbo fords...


edit:
damn it! I said was giving up...

 

We all must be really bored 😀

 

Lets spice things up! Think RS drift button can do this?

 

should I insult honda's so you can be bored all of the sudden too?

 

Yup!!

 

 

i dunno, but sure does look fun

ummmm..........sure? LOL

i say we're all bored because we're discussing stuff that we really know nothing about and that really doesn't matter anyway LOL. so you know it's a low day on EvoM.

 

VW has had drift mode for awhile too.

Oh... and Purple and glass.

 

How does it prove that? His link is about a completely different car. The Ford engineers have said the problem is due to an overly efficient design, hence why they feel the blocking plates will be effective.

 

maybe he would be more correct to say, "since it's happened in another model it could happen this way" instead of a definitive "it is...".

 

Best forum feature. Ever.

 

Which would be pretty poor speculation if another poster was right when they said the F150 has a completely different intercooler design and piping than the Focus RS.

"This completely different vehicle with a completely different intercooler design and layout had a problem that was also attributed to overcooling of the intake charge. Surely that means the Ford engineers are wrong when they say the block-off plates were needed to address the overcooling of the intake charge in the Focus RS. It must be due to a poor layout that leads to pooling. Jet fuel can't belt steel beams!"

 

okay fine, but you typed "belt" instead of "melt", so we all make mistakes. so neener, neener.

:P
