GEN 2 Full Race Radiator and Transmission Cooler Upgrade

[BlazinPond]

I just ordered the Cobb Intercooler and decided I would also upgrade the radiator and transmission cooler when doing the job.

I'll probably go w/ Full Race on the Radiator/Transmission cooler.
Is it ok to have Cobb IC or should everything match?

It's probably not too late to cancel my Cobb Intercooler (from CJ Pony Parts) order as I only found out it was backordered after I hit enter (Said in stock during checkout).

It should be just fine to mix and match.

Thanks. Any advantage of Full Race IC? Price wise, they are about a wash.

Looks to me, there are more options (Full Race) for BOV and throttle body which is unimportant to me now....but down the road you never know.
Good to have options.

Talk to Geoff or Collin at Full Race before you cancel your order

I do like the internal vane inside the end tanks... it helps with the flow distribution. I opted to go with the Tial Q bov, which also requires the throttle body spacer. I’m not fond of the plastic OEM BOV.

There is no reason why it would be an issue. I'm running the SVC IC, FR radiator, FR trans cooler, and I also have the turbosmart BOV.

Full Race Radiator and Trans cooler will work fine with Cobb, Garrett, SVT, ADD or Stock intercooler. No compatibility issues!

the Full-Race Intercoolers are a high end solution. We use aerodynamic cast endtanks, internally divided. Also our kits include a 3" aluminum Cold-side TB Charge pipe and hand fabricated merge-pipe. This allows for the use of an aftermarket BOV, which is a benefit considering the plastic BOV's can have diaphragm failures.

Compared to the competition, many reuse the plastic OEM TB charge pipe and some use a rubber y-pipe. Its a matter of opinion and preference.

I was on the team that designed the original F150 EcoBoost intercooler in 2011 and we've evolved the system many times since those early days. The current iteration works very well and our customers seem to think so, too. If i can help with anything else feel free to reach out

thanks eric - post a photo inside the intercooler endtank if you have one, it's hard to appreciate how much work and optimization went into these

Got back from Melbourne Australia and finally did the install. So here is the outcome.

1.) Installed Full Race Radiator
2.) Installed Full Race Transmission Cooler
3.) Installed Full Race FMIC with FR throttle body spacer and TiAL BOV.
4.) Installed Warn VR8S with Factor 55 Prolink winch shackle mount.

Now for the pictures:

OEM setup:


Full Race setup:









All done... now for round 2 on the dyno with Cobb ProTuner CAMTuning so he can work his magic:



Thanks Geoff and the entire Full Race team for paying attention to detail and putting out quality parts.
