CVF intercooler and turbo smart blow off valve arriving tomorrow!!! Current average temperature is around 200f curious to see if average temp will be lower.

I'm assuming new intercooler will impact coolant temperature??
Or is it unrelated?

I wouldn't expect to see a change in coolant temp just because of a larger intercooler.

As I understand it, the effect of a larger intercooler is to increase the amount of air (oxygen) entering the manifold, by lowering the air temp (the air is denser when it's cooler).

Now if you tune it too lean, or run it too fast, you might see your coolant temps rise more than you'd like.

I recommend high octane fuel. You want to get the most out of your tune and upgraded hardware, right?

What would changing the inter cooler do for me ?

The biggest benefit would be lower air temps over a longer sustained boost period. The larger the intercooler is the longer you can maintain high levels of boost and have the intercooler remain effective as a heat exchanger. Smaller intercoolers are fine for most in normal driving with short bursts of boost but tend to have issues maintaining intake charge temps like when towing or in hilly areas when the turbo is spooling much more frequently or longer.

Will upgrading it provide any benefit on a daily driver? Depends on what you are doing. Towing a lot or live in a very hilly area, then yes it will help. Flat surface streets and minimal loads? Then upgrading it probably not worth the the expense or time to install it.

I live in Central Florida and have 1800 miles on my truck (since July). I drive it like Miss Daisy cause I am trying to save fuel.
Would it be worth it for me ?

Power dude.
Well just found out Livernois won't ship the tuner to California.
What the hell is wrong with California?
Ship it to me and I'll ship it to you.

CARB rules the land

Most likely Livernois has not had their aftermarket tune/hardware tested by CARB yet.
Do you have a friend in AZ or NV who can receive the shipment for you?

I'd say no, not a good investment.

More intercooler = more turbo = more fuel = less money

I'm having it shipped to my vacation Home in Washington State.

So many damn regulations here in California.

What next ban on internal combustion engine???

I'm going to ask if Livernois can make Sport Mode the default drive setting. Unless some knows of another that we can do it ourselves.

Didn't they just pass that? Slowly phase out ICE cars within 15 years
