The all-new 2020 Explorer ST is turning out to be a serious performance platform. We are still in the early stages but just made a HUGE leap forward thanks to Whipple Superchargers. RareFab got the new intercooler installed and after testing, the results are incredible. Not only do cooler temps help improve the performance of your vehicle, cooler air is safer for your engine. Check out the video for details.

Those ST's not only performs great but looks amazing. Man ford sure did it with thoes explores
The only lacking area is the interior
You don't have to work the piles of caps all day
Love that portrait touchscreen lmao I saw that and said nope! Other wise I was going to buy one.
Dan Bedard I agree. The interior is ok but not great. The drive train, handling and performance though is stellar. I’ve had mine a year. It’s been flawless. Fantastic family hauler. Tows the boat and drives like a fast GT through the mountains. It’s great.
Frank Tank If you let that put you off you missed out buddy. Put it in dark mode and it looks much better.
I honestly laughed when I saw the stock intercooler.
His wife is gonna hurt some feelings lol.
It is an awesome vehicle if you can get over all the different noises you'll hear while driving it.
Any worries with excess condensation getting sucked into the engine ? Ford kind of learned their lesson with having a bigger intercooler than you need on the F150 ecoboost along the Gulf Coast and all the issues it had with that. Intercooler probably needs an easily accessible drain on the cold side end cap if you live in a humid climate
This is a great question.
Just got a 2022 ST. It is truly amazing. I love it.
People need to understand that running E85 in an ST requires an upgraded fuel pump and tune and very likely larger injectors. Just putting E85 in them and running the shit out of them will cause bad things to happen. I DO own one of these and they are pretty quick.
Most heat transfer of any intercooler/radiator happens in the first row, frontal square inches are far more effective than thickness but you don't always have that choice
Gonna likely be getting one of these within the next month. This is another upgrade I may need to add.
Bought mine in Sept 19', you won't be disappointed. It's a beast. I baby mine like a grandpa But we all know what's under the hood.
@@kilo3-186 been a year now, how you liking it?
@@unrealisticgoals if I could give it 3 thumbs up I would
I'm saving to buy a used ST in a couple years, to mod it and tune it
Stoplight racing is what matters to me that's for sure! I just don't have time to go to the track....I'm in Daytona beach Florida.
You wanna go race the Seabreaze bridge? What's up? Lol
@@djdsf Aye! Daytona in the house! I currently don't have anything fast enough to even try and race anyone tho 😔.
What’s up fellas NSB here!
Thank you for your real world condition testing and information!! You're absolutely correct, those street numbers are what are most important to a lot of us!! So thank you man!! Great Vid!!
Did you notice any increased turbo lag due to the increased IC volume? Did you notice increased coolant or condenser temps due to covering more of both the radiator and condenser with more IC surface area?
I'm no expert, but I don't believe so. I believe it may infact do the opposite. The increased air volume in the intercooler not only is cooler, but more plentiful before coming through the filter. So think of it as a performance intake header in a way. That with the higher density air.
@@SEVENZEROTWO no that’s all wrong my G. A component of perceivable turbo lag is the volume of space that exists after the turbo. Increasing the volume means the turbo needs to output more volume of air before pressure starts building. Bigger intercooler could mean that it takes slightly longer to come into full boost. I don’t think the volume is going to effect lag though.
I bought a Explorer ST about 4 months ago I love it and upgraded my exhaust system to a bolra S type catback 😎
@liberals are Anti American not a Ford warranty 😏, we're getting the ATAK
Heck yeah man, right on 👍
How do you like it? Is it super loud or just loud or what? We bought one in March as well, and I've been waiting for good options to hit the market!
@@alecgrosvenor mines is a throaty sound not loud just alittle deeper than the stock I have a touring package edition I don't like that loud sound
Shane Frasier Atak is the way to go for sound.
The only thing holding me back from an ST is the port injection and all that comes with it when the miles rack up. I wish Ford would develop the dual injection for these.
I have a 2016 Platinum 3.5L will y'all be able to do intercooler swap for this model?
You never get something for nothing. It's always a trade off. Remove heat from intake air and add it to the cooling stack. A/C will lose cooling capacity especially when ambient temp exceeds 100. If the engine is working real hard at that temp it could over heat.
I just I installed along with AFE CAI and SCT custom tuner with 93 Octane and a borla cat back exhaust
go to 10:00 you're welcome
We just got one last month and its a ripper. Already got the 93 octane tune and that alone makes a huge difference
Tell me more.
Any concern with “robbing” air flow from radiator?
This is my question. I live in PA, will this thing ever heat up in the winter, LOL.
is a tune required after install of this? on my STI everything was tune required lol
I just bought a 2020 Explorer ST last week! Same exact color as that one. I’m sitting here wondering if I should get a stock intercooler.
you should have the "stock" intercooler. Were you meaning to say you were wondering if you should get the upgraded, larger intercooller?
The factory one almost looks smaller than the factory setup on a Fiesta ST.
I subbed. 50 deg. with no modification and those zero to sixty times are insane. Awesome work!!!!!!!
Makes traffic light work!
Already ordered it. Can’t wait to see the difference
Nice job...looks like the Mustang Brembos might fit on that.... gotta stop to go fast.
Man what would the labor cost be for this install? Also does mods like changing the fuel pump or adding this inner cooler void the warranty?
Interesting, Ford made intercooler 30%smaller then what you will find on Gen 1 EcoBoost explorer. New intercooler is much thinner then Gen 1.
Probably due to active shutters
My fun car is my C7 and my wife's is the 22 ST. God damn that suv is freaking awesome!!!
Any reason not to use an active cooling sprayer on the intercooler with dry ice/etc to bring those temps down? Can only do so much with air temps >=90 plus sun on a black uncooled hood/engine bay. Could even bring it in via tubing throughout the engine bay to reduce ambient temp and then use a sprayer or even high transfer overlay. Isnt very expensive to do and similar to "liquid cooling" systems on some types of computers. Could even set up a regulator system to dial in the optimal engine bay, intercooler temps depending on components. Idk if that's been done before like that I just know for other applications it can have >=20% performance gains just with that and a tune which is a very cost effective high performance option. Literally
Keep at it guys!!! Hopefully by the time I receive my Ranger Raptor you’ll have a blueprint to bulletproof power gains.
10:04 if you don't want to hear the dude talk forever
Love what you guy’s are doing!!
How much HP gain from this mod?
prob nothing crazy, most important part of this is absorbing that heat soak
The ford explorers st are fast. I just bought a 2023 ford explore st. It’s fast……… but not near as fast as what I really wanted. Couldn’t afford it…lol.
The grand Cherokee SRT 2023 707 hp 80-90k or the 1200 Hennessy grand Cherokee SRT. 120-130k
NO SUV ON EARTH COMES CLOSE TO THESE!!!!
Well if you want to spend 100k for the trackhawk LoL
This car is still amazing lol
And jeep stop making 2021 trackhawk LoL and the prices have skyrocket
I installed a steeda intercooler AFE CAI and SCT custom tuner and borla cat back exhaust and I'm around 550
On 85;600
I finally bought one of these Got a 2020 St...same as this one in color and red calipers
Looking at purchasing an ST ASAP! What’s the pros and cons RWD VS AWD!? Any info would be helpful 👌
First thought is the traction advantage of AWD
Is there any changes in mpg?
@@PalmBeachDyno but do you get more parasitic power loss through AWD transaxle versus RWD?
@@jasonacsalesltd This is no way an answer to this question, however have had an AWD 300hp Chrysler 300S V6 my launch was rather enjoyable. I had to trade it in for my now 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum with 365 hp 380 lb torque. My 300S AWD would of had an advantage on launch, but would of loss it if I would pit it against my platinum explorer in my opinion. Would you agree, or disagree?
Good Luck I'm getting mine built in September, I'm going with the AWD for better control in the winter.
Does this mods work on a aviator. The Grand touring model asking for a friend?
It should but needs to be test fitted before we can say for sure. All the tuning is the same. We have tuned a few Aviators as well.
@@PalmBeachDyno 👌
@@PalmBeachDyno Do these modifications, Tuning and the intercooler, void the warranty of the vehicle? I just purchased the 2021 ST and would like to do these upgrades.
@@SteelNGuitars926 In the past, Ford allowed some Focus ST upgrades without this problem, but I don't think this one is specifically allowed. On the other hand, most dealers would not notice its there if the thing they are repairing for you is not either of the two coolers. They're nicely tucked away, and so long as the problem you are having repaired was not caused by the modification, I think it's perfectly honorable to get warranty work done without mentioning the mod.
Can I put an intercooler into a 2017 Ford explorer sport?
Serious question, would the addition of the intercooler (as much cooling and performance it adds) void a warranty? I own an SHO which also came with similar issues, but I'd love to replace my wife's Equinox with this all day!!
Magnuson Moss warranty act requires the manufacture to prove the failure was caused by the aftermarket part to void a warranty. I couldn’t see how they could argue that a better intercooler caused a failure unless the cooler itself failed internally.
THE ONE MODE IS A PLUG IN TUNE FOR $600.
this question may have already been answered: what does this mod do to the warranty and extended warranty?
Eli Gho don’t tell the dealer!
R A they will never know
@@IAMWAXX 😂
Would like to see the gains with free flowing down pipes.
Great video! I am curious what tuning platform you're using. Obviously we don't want to put in the innercooler without any tune adjustments... right?
You Did A Good Job on the Ford Explorer ST for 2020
Great video. Thank you!
Just bought a 2022 Timberline. Think that IC will fit it? 4cyl..
good question, same here, just want the intercooler without the tune, if possible....
I need to link up with you guys. My wife has this vehicle and I put a 93 Octane tune from Five Star but I'd like to get this put in from you guys with an E-50 tune as well. I also just bought a 2021 King Ranch with the 3.5L Ecoboost and I have been looking all over the place for a tune. I guess Ford has been making it increasingly difficult starting with the 2021s for third partys to be messing around with the computers.... Not sure what you guys have in stock now. I looked in March and nobody had a tune for the 2021s yet
Was going todo the swap myself... hellz NO -- gonna trade mine in for a new Supra... seeya!
That intercooler is a beast….I just purchased the ST in Infinite Blue…it’s purdy….how much does the cooler weigh…I’m guessing about 15 - 20 pounds?
Dumb question maybe--is it still warranted by Ford after what you have done and if not what can safely be done to this while keeping the warranty?
Turn up the boost to take advantage of the bigger cooler
As someone who isn’t knowledgeable about this, what is the impact of a larger intercooler on gas mileage? Does it increase or decrease MPG, or no real effect?
You should get about the same...
2 years later product still not availabe on website. Any update?
What about the changes in fuel consumption?
What is the total cost?
Thank u
thx for intercooler explaination
Do you guys know if this mod will effect the warranty?
Did you notice any HP gains with just the intercooler?
Hey man, I checked with both Ford dealers down here in Ft. Lauderdale. They both said my factory warranty will definitely be voided with a larger intercooler. So I can't do it.
Another fact if an “ST” it’s not just for sports technology it’s for “STandard”transmission
Have you ever data logged Cac temps with just removing the Louvers?
The stock one, is that the one off the interceptor? Did you guys have to retune it? I knownif it runs too cool or too lean it may cause problems later... that inter cooler does look bad ass!
Did you just switched the intercooler or you did some engine or fuel mapping change as well?
Also how did that affect the MPGs?
Do you know if the Whipple Intercooler will bolt up to a 2017 3.5L Twin Turbo Sport version
Are those 0-60 times with Tune and Inter Cooler only?
We don't have e85 in Connecticut
What high-pressure fuel pump are you using? I just got an ST. Doing my research.
Love what you guys did here, but went to your site looking for that Whipple Intercooler and found nothing. I did find it on Whipple's site, but thought maybe you just didn't get them from Whipple as planned?
How much is the fuel pump? I found the intercooler costs 995 but i cant find the high pressure fuel pumps price.
Great video, would be perfect for my wife's ST.
Nice!!!!! What color is it? If you don’t mind me asking
I love this car
has the ST been to the track yet? Didn't see any updated videos after this one....
Hello channel,
Considering getting myself an ST and doing these same mods + some more. If I heard correctly, this is the RWD version of the vehicle. Knowing that it is knocking out 3.85 with RWD, this thing is WICKED for cost to value. I have to ask, because they offer an AWD version, do you think it would perform noticeably better at its 0-60? Or would its extra weight offset that? I am currently driving a RWD Durango R/T and ready to get back in to something faster..... (previous Hellcat and Jeep SRT owner).....
i dont think ill be doing a simple intercooler if i have to pull the full front end off lmao. I can swap the cam on my L83 faster than swapping this intercooler lmao
Great video and thanks for sharing. What do you charge for the install, if you don’t mind me asking?
Very interesting project, what is your MPG after the mods( Carrying the kids and picking stuff from the store)
Where is your shop so I can go and get tuned by you guys !
Boynton Beach, FL !
Hey, what percentage did you tint your head lamps? Thanks
I am wondering if this will fit my 2021 Lincoln Aviator? The engines are the same just don't know if the internals are.
Is it possible to take the 21 inch stock wheels off of that car and put the 18 inch wheels that come with the XLT on it it is a very very rough ride you can feel every little tiny crack in the road because well you have 2 inch sidewalls but I think with the XLT tires and wheels the ride would improve substantially but I don’t want to spend the money until I know that they’re gonna bolt up?
Does anyone know if those wheels will fit?
Sir i just bought his little monster and i do live in such a hot super hot country should i replace the stock for Whipple intercooler !! Any precautions should i take while changing the intercooler !!
I currently have a 17 Platinum, waiting for the 2021's to hit the dealer. I'm torn between the ST or another Platinum. I can't really find what I'd lose amenity wise going with the ST.
The st and platinum have the same engine n trans
@@mlbjr The ST puts out 400 HP, The Platinum 365
After a tune the hp would be the same and probably cheaper insurance with the platinum.
@@gsxravery except the tune voids the warranty. I went with the ST and glad I did LOVE it!
@@troythibodeau3833 platinums are now 400 horsepower as well from the factory
Website says product not available??
Can we do the same for a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy?
I will look through your other videos but, with the tune, intercooler and fuel pump and all, what horsepower are you getting?
Im new to the E85 thing. Can I run E85 and regular 91 at my discretion ??If I want to road trip for a 1000 mile drive can I use both? thx. Great vid
Are there any intakes for the ST? I just got one
Any thoughts about modifying a 2009 Nissan Murano?
Yup, the biggest gain from a one power mod on the smaller ecoboost engine is the FMIC. Dyno proven so many times
What the hell is FMIC
@@uwont4gitme front mount inter cooler
Did you install a custom tuner as well or no?
Just intercooler 😊
How much it cost to install the new Inter cooler?
Price? Gonna need this here in AZ when it's 120F out!
Same ! $? Yeah no kidding 115 in the summer 🤦🏼♂️
Think they'll make one for the Edge ST eventually?
Did you performance the software too?
It seems to me that you jump the green light every time, so maybe try again at recording your times. The explorer starts to move before the green light hits
I have the 19' Continental.. thinking about borla exhaust.. what do you think
Can you send me the link where to order it please.
is phev also aplicable the same tune you've done?
Do you guys only work on Fords?
What was done to this explorer?
Tudor Bros tune, hi pressure fuel pump, and the intercooler.
