19-23 Ford Ranger 2.3L Ecoboost S&B Filters 83-2021 Hot Side Intercooler Pipe

S&B Filters Hot Side Intercooler Pipe – Part Number 83-2021 (2019–23 Ford Ranger 2.3L EcoBoost)

This performance-grade hot side intercooler pipe from S&B Filters is engineered specifically for the 2019 through 2023 model years of the Ford Ranger equipped with the 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine. It replaces the factory hot-side charge pipe with a reinforced, less restrictive assembly designed to withstand elevated boost pressures, reduce intake air temperatures, and increase turbocharger responsiveness. For anyone seeking an upgrade that supports higher performance and better reliability under load, this is a direct-fit solution offering strong value in both daily driving and spirited use.

Why this upgrade matters

When the factory hot side pipe on the Ranger’s 2.3L EcoBoost is subjected to increased boost or high thermal loads, it can become a bottleneck—leading to higher intake temperatures, reduced turbo efficiency, and potential boost leaks. By installing this S&B Filters hot side pipe, the upgrade enhances airflow, strengthens the assembly against fatigue, and supports improved performance. The result: more confident throttle response, better heat management, and a more durable charge-air system.

Key Features

• Direct-fit for the 2019-2023 Ford Ranger 2.3L EcoBoost engine—no cutting or fabrication required.

• High-quality mandrel-bent aluminum piping (or equivalent premium alloy) for smooth transitions and minimal airflow disruption.

• Oversized internal diameter compared to stock to reduce restriction and support improved turbocharger spool and response.

• Heavy-duty couplers and stainless-steel T-bolt clamps that resist boost-pressure separation and improve sealing.

• Finished in a polished or powder-coated appearance for both performance and visual appeal under the hood.

• Backed by S&B’s warranty policy (check terms at time of purchase).

Benefits

• Improved throttle response and increased potential for power gains thanks to reduced air-flow restriction.

• Lower intake-charge air temperatures lead to better density and safer operation under boost — helping avoid heat-soak and timing pull.

• Enhanced durability compared to stock: designed to handle higher boost and more aggressive tuning safely.

• Direct replacement makes the installation fast and simple — less downtime and lower labour cost.

• Maintains fitment and function with factory systems while offering an upgrade path for performance-minded owners.

• Warranty support from S&B means peace of mind — S&B stands behind its parts.

Install Difficulty Level

Installation is straightforward and within reach of most mechanically-inclined enthusiasts. Many users report a complete install time of approximately 1 hour or less, provided standard hand-tools are available and access to the intercooler piping is not obstructed. Because the unit is a direct-fit replacement, no major modifications are needed — simply remove the factory pipe, fit the upgraded S&B component, and ensure all clamps and fittings are properly torqued.
