VR Performance Cold Air Intake Kit Ford Raptor | F-150 EcoBoost

Description

A cold air intake kit for the Ford F-150 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost is one of the first upgrades you should do to your truck.  The twin turbocharged engine that powers the F-150 and the Raptor will benefit from the improved intake design giving you an overall better driving experience.  The VR Performance cold air intake kit gives your EcoBoost better throttle response, allows the turbochargers to spool up quicker, as well as increase torque along with horsepower throughout the entire RPM range.  As you go through the 10 speed transmission, you will hear the turbochargers spool up as they take in a much larger volume of air.  When the driver is not heavy on the throttle, you can even expect a slight improvement to your MPG.  As tested on a stock 2018 Ford Raptor running 91 octane while using our Mustang Dynamometer, the intake made a peak gain of 10 rear wheel horsepower (rwhp) while maintaining a midrange of 12rwhp.  Torque jumped up 20ft/lbs over stock giving you more power off the line and when you need it most!   

Vivid Racing’s intake design and manufacturing is all done here in the USA.  The custom high flow cone filter has a large diameter flange taking in air from 360 degrees around. The box design has been engineered to integrate with the factory air snorkel.  The air filter is sealed off from hot engine air with a rubber gasket that is mounted to the one piece box.  Connecting the air filter to the two turbochargers is a one piece, roto molded intake tube that splits off with a clean seamless merge.  With this design, the VR intake tube flows over 100% more air than the stock intake tube.  The intake is finished off with an integrated sensor mount, Vivid Racing silicone couplers, and required hose clamps.

Why Stock Intake is Weak:

A factory intake box can have restrictions from the stock air filter and intake tubes. Looking at the stock intake of the Ford F-150 EcoBoost, you will notice the corrugated tubes that connect the hard piping to the filter box.  This design can cause turbulence to the air flow.  When the air flow is disrupted, this affects performance as the air speed is slowed down.  While air flow is very important, so is the amount of air that can be sucked into the turbochargers compressors.  The stock intake features a flat panel filter design which is common in most vehicles.  These paper air filters are non-reusable and do not have the best flow or surface area needed to gain performance.
