Wait, did we put a Whipple on a Bronco?

 

Nope! But we did install their newest EcoBoost offering. For years, Whipple has offered upgraded intercoolers, intakes & calibrations for the EcoBoost platform (they aren't all just superchargers, they just like BOOST in general!) so of course they had to get their foot into the Broncos as well.

 

The 2021+ Ford F150s and Broncos present an issue with tuning right now, as the PCM is pretty much locked up tight. However, with Whipple's awesome relationship with the guys over at Ford & their calibration team, Dustin and the Whipple team are able to bring you upgraded calibrations for these new, secure vehicles making them the FIRST and ONLY (right now) company being able to tune the 2021+ Bronco and F150 (oh and did we mention they are 50 STATE LEGAL?!).

When Dustin called us and told us he had a calibration ready to go for our 2021 First Edition Bronco 2.7L, we jumped on it! But before loading the calibration, we wanted to make sure to get some baseline numbers to see what improvements the tune gave us.

While the truck was stock, we decided to not only toss it on the dyno to get some stock horsepower numbers, but we also did some testing (in Mexico) with a Dragy.

On the dyno, the Bronco put down 253rwhp / 318rwtq. It's not breaking any horsepower records but that's not really what these trucks were built for, anyways.

With the quick Dragy test, we saw a 2.53 60' and a 0-60mph time of 7.51 seconds. Again, not breaking any records but this truck was meant to crawl rocks, not fly. 

 

Now it was time to load up the Whipple Bronco calibration and see what she could do! First test: the dyno.

With the Whipple calibration, our Bronco made 312rwhp / 400rwtq. That is over 50rwhp and over 80rwtq increase from just a TUNE. We're impressed.

Next up, we wanted to see what the Dragy was going to tell us about the new tune.

The results from the Dragy were a 2.14 60' and a 6.99 second 0-60mph time. We picked up half a second in the 0-60mph and almost the same in our 60'. We'll take it. 

 

Overall, with just the calibration from Whipple Superchargers on our 2.7L Bronco, the results are awesome. Whipple is finishing up their new intercoolers for these trucks and we'll definitely be putting one on ASAP to complete our Whipple Stage 1 setup.

The Whipple stage 1 systems couples the Whipple Mega Cooler, high flow air filter and industry leading custom calibration to make up to an amazing 90* foot pounds of torque and 50* horsepower over stock. Even better, from 2000rpm, the systems produces significantly more torque giving more power under the curve for incredible throttle response. The calibration further enhances shift points to better utilize the increased torque, resulting in a much better overall driving experience, while also giving you the ability to change the tire and axle size to fix vehicle issues related to aftermarket tire/wheel changes.

The Stage 1 systems heart and soul is the industry leading calibration. Whipple and it's Ford calibration team worked feverishly using advanced tools to develop a calibration that could maximize power based on 91 octane or higher fuel, while maintaining safety for everyday driving conditions. Whether your cruising, off roading, towing or just like to burn the tires, the Whipple cal is designed for all applications. The kit also features revised pedal mapping, increased speed limit, updated shift points, updated shift schedule and deactivate the annoying auto start/stop feature. Each drive mode is maintained, leaving you all the potential options your Bronco was equipped with. The Whipple Tomahawk flash tool allows easy uploading and downloading of the Whipple files while also offering the ability to read/erase trouble codes, live data viewing and advanced data logging capacity.

The Whipple Mega Cooler offers 58% greater internal core volume, 144% increase in external fin surface and 12% less restrictive than stock intercooler core. The robust, TIG welded bar and plate intercooler features offset fin on both the cold and hot side, allowing for increased cooling capacity while fitting into the stock packaging. Test show an amazing 32 degree (F) drop in temperature just on the dyno during back-to-back runs, yet even bigger gains are shown during real world applications. The colder air allows increased spark advance and more O2 to the engine, resulting in more consistent power while maintaining safety.

The new high flow, washable and reusable filter is made of an 8-layer cotton material and special blue oil. The filter is a direct replacement and features a power stack filter end for increased flow capacity. 

The Whipple Stage 1 system is the first and only 50-state legal Ecoboost complete upgrade package available today, allowing for upgrades in all 50-states. (EO-D231-73)
