2015-2016 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5L with K&N Air Intake Boosts the Boost
- 17 Feb 2016
The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling vehicle since anyone can remember. And the 2015-2016 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5L is the most technologically advanced version to date. Besides the revolutionary all-aluminum body, and its many autonomous driving aides, the 13th generation F-150 can be ordered with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6, which makes an impressive 365-hp/420 lb-ft. Compared to V8's of old, this twin-turbo V6 is a real powerhouse. But if you believe that more is better, then you'll love the extra power that you'll get from a K&N 63-2592 AirCharger High Performance Intake System.
A turbocharged engine makes power by forcing air into the cylinders. This air gets mixed with fuel inside the cylinders, and the resulting detonation often creates more power than a larger naturally aspirated engine (like a V8) would make. Feeding those turbos is key to getting the most performance, and a restrictive stock air intake system, like the one fitted to the 2015-2016 Ford F150 EcoBoost 3.5, can actually be costing you performance. The K&N 63-2592 AirCharger High Performance Intake System on the other hand, is designed to eliminate power-robbing airflow restrictions, and give your 2015-2016 Ford F-150 3.5 EcoBoost an estimated 23 extra horsepower. And you don't even have to make any additional under-hood modifications. The heart of the K&N 63-Series AirCharger Performance Intake System is the roto-molded K&N intake tube. This big-bore air intake system is completely smooth on the inside, which straightens out the airflow path, and allows the air to be funneled to each turbo with minimal turbulence.
The roto-molded HDPE intake tube attaches to a rugged heat shield that is designed to prevent the warm air inside the engine bay from being drawn into the intake. Feeding the system is a high-flow conical K&N performance air filter that not only collects a large volume of air compared to the stock air box, but its oil-treated cotton gauze material is able to filter out contaminants that can’t even be seen by the naked eye. Plus, this reusable air filter can go for up to 100,000 miles before it needs to be cleaned (depending on road conditions).
Each K&N performance intake system is designed to fit a specific vehicle, so they easily install in place of the stock intake system. The K&N 63-2592 AirCharger Intake System doesn't require any under-hood modifications, and you can install it in about 90 minutes using just a few sockets, wrenches, and screwdrivers. K&N installed one on a 2015 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5L V6, and dyno testing revealed an estimated increase of 23.01 horsepower and 34.48 ft-lb of torque. The airflow increase also significantly improved throttle response and engine sound, making for one responsive Ford Turbo-Truck. Of course your individual results may vary, due to the mileage, modifications, and condition of your specific truck. K&N also makes lots of other Ford F-150 performance parts, including K&N Air Filters for the Ford F150 as well as additional K&N Air Intake Systems for the Ford F150 .
