Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-MUS4-15BK is a purpose-built Stealth Black bar-and-plate intercooler engineered specifically for the turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost engine found in the S550-chassis Ford Mustang. Developed after Ford brought a turbocharged 4-cylinder back to the Mustang for the first time in over 30 years, this intercooler was designed to solve the heat soak and rising charge air temperatures that stock tube-and-fin coolers struggle with during hard track laps or aggressive street driving.
As a forced induction component, this performance intercooler is central to keeping intake air temperatures consistent run after run, which matters for anyone pushing their Mustang’s induction system hard on track days or spirited drives. Mishimoto’s engineers built the core with cast end tanks that were CFD tested for maximum airflow, plus an in-tank air diverter on the hot side to direct flow optimally through the intercooler. Compared to the factory unit, this core delivers a 25-percent increase in internal core volume and a 165-percent increase in external fin surface area, translating into a 35°F (19.45°C) reduction in intake air temperatures with minimal pressure loss — a meaningful upgrade for any Mustang EcoBoost owner relying on their forced induction system to stay cool lap after lap.
Vehicle Applications
This intercooler is a direct-fit, specific-application part engineered for the 2015-2023 Ford Mustang EcoBoost and 2015-2023 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium, both built on the S550 chassis with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. It requires no cutting or modification, mounts in the stock location, and installs in under two hours without removing the front bumper cover. It was also designed to work with the stock active grille shutters and to avoid blocking airflow to the radiator and AC condenser.
