Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-F150-11SL is a direct-fit performance intercooler engineered specifically for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150 EcoBoost, built to replace the factory unit that sits underused in the bottom of a spacious, oddly shaped cavity behind the front bumper. Rather than a simple bolt-in swap of similar size, Mishimoto angled the core design to fill that wasted space, delivering an 88-percent increase in core size, a 66-percent jump in internal core volume, and a 40-percent gain in external fin surface area over stock. This is forced induction cooling hardware built to actually use the room Ford left on the table.
As a purpose-built piece of forced induction system hardware, this Mishimoto intercooler is about maximizing the cooling capacity of your EcoBoost’s induction system without relocating components or blocking airflow to the radiator and AC condenser, since it retains the stock mounting location. The all-aluminum, TIG-welded core is paired with a set of included air diversion plates that route ambient air directly through the core, and a 1/4-in NPT drain plug is built into the lower mount to manage the condensation this platform is known for. Mishimoto dyno-tested the intercooler on both the stock tune and a specialized performance tune, and the kit is designed to fit with the stock intercooler piping as well as Mishimoto and most aftermarket pipe kits, making it a practical performance induction upgrade rather than a full induction system overhaul.
