Why fit the ETS 3.5-inch Front Mount Intercooler for S550 Mustang EcoBoost?

The factory calibration pulls timing once charge air passes 100 degrees. The ETS 3.5-inch Front Mount Intercooler for S550 keeps charge air within 10 to 20 degrees of ambient in ETS testing, so the EcoBoost holds timing and makes consistent power in hot weather and on repeated pulls.

Do I need new intercooler piping?

No. ETS designed the intercooler to work with the factory intercooler piping, or with aftermarket piping built for the factory intercooler. The 2.5 inch inlet and outlet line up with those pipes, so the upgrade is the core swap alone for most cars.

Does it keep the crash beam?

Yes. The intercooler is a direct bolt-on that works with the factory crash beam and needs no cutting or drilling. That keeps the front structure of the Mustang intact and makes the install something a capable owner can do at home.

How much power will it support?

ETS rates the 20 by 14 by 3.5 inch core for more than 700 whp, well beyond what most EcoBoost Mustangs make on the factory turbo. That leaves room for a future turbo upgrade without needing a second intercooler later on.

What colors are available?

ETS offers the core in silver, black, blue, gold, red or purple, and an ETS stencil can be added. The core sits behind the lower grille, so the finish shows from the front of the car and can be matched to the paint or trim.

Description

ETS 3.5-inch Front Mount Intercooler for S550 Ford Mustang EcoBoost

The ETS 3.5-inch Front Mount Intercooler for S550 Ford Mustang EcoBoost is built to stop heat soak, which ETS notes makes the factory calibration pull timing once charge air reaches 100 degrees, and more as temperatures rise. Its 20 by 14 by 3.5 inch core with 23 charge rows keeps charge air within 10 to 20 degrees of ambient in ETS testing, and supports more than 700 whp.

Core Design

ETS uses 23 charge rows with an increased number of heat transfer plates, which improves internal flow while keeping pressure drop low. ETS reports an average reduction in charge air temperatures of about 35 percent.

Bolt-On Fitment

The intercooler is a direct bolt-on that works with the factory crash beam and needs no cutting or drilling. It works with the factory intercooler piping, or aftermarket piping designed for the factory intercooler, through 2.5-inch inlet and outlet connections.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
