I would always lean towards "Any modifications under the hood CAN void your warranty" but I am not a lawyer nor a mechanic nor a dealership. My take is that I don't want to give them a reason to void my warranty.Nice. Really getting serious about ordering a Mav. Things stay hot out here in the tropics. Out of curiosity is a intercooler upgrade considered something that will affect warranty? I've never had a vehicle worth enough to have a warranty on . I just know that new cars break alot and require alot of dealer maintence and dont want any trouble. But my last maverick weighed 2900lb and had 400hp, I want this one to have a little get up. But want to stay in that area of not getting screwed.
Obviously you don't care about performance and modifications, you have a hybrid on order.I would always lean towards "Any modifications under the hood CAN void your warranty" but I am not a lawyer nor a mechanic nor a dealership.

Personally I do not understand the thirst for performance on the maverick but I'm sure other people could say the same about a car that I would modify like an Acura ILX. In general I'm not keen on performance mods within the warranty period but I like that people do it and I like reading about it.Obviously you don't care about performance and modifications, you have a hybrid on order.
However, your assumption on a dick dealer voiding a warranty for no real reason is a good point.
One way around the warranty concerns would be to talk with your local dealer's service department manager, tell him what you're looking to do and as long as you have it installed there that dealer will typically work with you should a problem arise. YMMVObviously you don't care about performance and modifications, you have a hybrid on order.

I have many fond DSM memories. Couldn't believe it when I saw OP on here making Maverick parts.Bringing back memories of my 90 Talon TSI AWD
Thank you. We have always looked for new platforms I'm personally interested in, as you know.I have many fond DSM memories. Couldn't believe it when I saw OP on here making Maverick parts.
You're thinking about it wrong. "Intercooler" is the standard name for charge air coolers that cool the air between the turbo and the engine (in between cooler), and it was only on some old aircraft where they added a second intercooler that they figured they should give it a different name to help distinguish which they were talking about and so called the second one the "afercooler" instead of "second intercooler"... less syllables I guess.Why doesn’t this industry call them what they actually are?AFTERCOOLERS
INTERCOOLERS fit between two different stages of compression, to remove heat from the first stage before it is further compressed in the second stage
After coolers remove heat from the final compression stage so if you only have one turbocharger that cooler is not a intercooler.
Assuming cutting is necessary because your intercooler is more than twice as thick as stock. Curious to know how thick you could go without requiring cuts.There is cutting required of the plastic around the intercooler.
No idea, anything larger than stock is going to need to be cut because of the shutters and plastic.Assuming cutting is necessary because your intercooler is more than twice as thick as stock. Curious to know how thick you could go without requiring cuts.
Looks great and the numbers seem promising. TYVM for your contributions to this community.
It is an air-to-air heat exchanger. It cools the compressed air, by transferring the heat to ambient air.Here's what might be a dumb question but I am not a mechanic:
Does this thing directly cool the compressed air from the turbo or is it full of coolant like the engine radiator?
35 years of working in large thermal coal power plants, I beg to differ. “Inter” means in between stages in this reference. You cool the charge from 1 stage only of compression….you aftercool…if you cool the charge between 2 separate stages of compression you Intercool. I have worked on 6 stage centrifugal compressors that multiple Intercoolers and an aftercooler located after compressor. Every P&ID of L* systems (IEEE) i have ever seen support this claimYou're thinking about it wrong.

Since automotive applications don't have sequential turbos with two charge air coolers, they wouldn't have an aftercooler, and people will get confused if you call it that as it implies you have two.
