Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-EVO-01KSL is a complete, direct-fit intercooler kit engineered specifically for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9, pairing the Mishimoto race intercooler with matching upper and lower intercooler pipes and silicone couplers. This forced induction upgrade replaces the restrictive factory setup with an aluminum bar-and-plate core, cast end tanks, and mandrel-bent piping built to move more air with less resistance.
As part of Mishimoto’s forced induction lineup, this intercooler kit is designed to make your induction system work smarter, not just harder. Low intake temperatures matter for consistent power output and tuning stability, and this Mishimoto forced induction system was built with a strategic core composition intended to deliver optimal reductions in intake air temperature while minimizing pressure loss. On a 350 whp test vehicle, this intercooler produced an 8 whp / 10 wtq gain over the stock unit and dropped intake temperatures by 28 degrees Fahrenheit, while the overall kit is designed to support applications ranging from stock to 600 whp. Cast aluminum end tanks promote even air dispersion through the core for improved airflow and added durability, while the included aluminum pipes and silicone couplers are built to handle boost without introducing the restrictions found in the factory forced induction turbo piping.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is a specific-fit part built for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, covering the 2003–2006 model years. It also fits the Lancer Evolution MR and Lancer Evolution RS for the 2005–2006 model years, as well as the Lancer Evolution SE for the 2006 model year. The kit is engineered around the 4G63 engine and CT9A chassis codes used across these Evolution applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Mishimoto MMINT-EVO-01KSL intercooler kit fit?
This kit fits the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for 2003–2006, the Lancer Evolution MR and RS for 2005–2006, and the Lancer Evolution SE for 2006. It is built around the 4G63 engine and CT9A chassis codes.
What performance gains does this intercooler provide?
On a 350 whp test vehicle, the Mishimoto intercooler produced an 8 whp / 10 wtq increase over the stock intercooler and reduced intake temperatures by 28 degrees Fahrenheit.
How much horsepower can this intercooler kit support?
This kit is designed to provide efficient intake temperature reduction for vehicles ranging from stock power all the way up to 600 whp.
What is included in the Mishimoto Evolution intercooler kit?
The kit includes one Mishimoto intercooler, two upper intercooler pipes, one lower intercooler pipe, three upper pipe couplers, two lower pipe couplers, one 3-in T-bolt clamp, eight 2.75-in T-bolt clamps, one 2-in T-bolt clamp, and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Can this intercooler be used with the factory airbox?
No. The upper intercooler pipes are not designed to work with the stock airbox, so an aftermarket open element air filter is required to use with these upper intercooler pipes. The intercooler itself can be used with stock or aftermarket intercooler pipes.
What finish options are available for this intercooler kit?
This intercooler kit is available with a Sleek Silver or Stealth Black powder-coated finish for the core.
