Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-A2W-DPR-1 is a purpose-built air-to-water intercooler configured in the 500HP opposite-side inlet/outlet layout, engineered to bring compact, high-density charge-air cooling to serious forced induction projects. Built around a 9.79-inch bar-and-plate aluminum core paired with 5mm-thick cast-aluminum end tanks, this unit carries a Maximum Recommended Horsepower rating of 500 and a Maximum Recommended Boost Pressure of 100 psi, giving builders a dependable core for custom forced induction system installations.
Mishimoto designed its air-to-water intercooler lineup to bring the compact efficiency of liquid-to-air cooling to performance projects, and this configuration continues that mission with a focus on force induction reliability. The cast-aluminum end tanks are custom engineered for airflow and are professionally TIG-welded to the core, while CNC-machined ribbed inlet and outlet couplers help create a secure grip between the intercooler and your piping. For anyone building a dedicated induction system around an air-to-water setup, the -12ORB coolant ports integrated into the core simplify plumbing, and the included 1/8-inch thick steel mounting bracket and hardware make installation straightforward. The finish is a sleek, durable micro-wrinkle black powder coat that matches the rest of the Mishimoto performance induction catalog.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto air-to-water intercooler is supplied as a component for custom forced induction builds rather than a specific factory application; sourced specifications list its fitment classification as Specific with a universal mounting bracket included, and no particular make, model, chassis code, or engine code is specified for this configuration. It is intended to be integrated into a custom air-to-water intercooler system as part of a broader forced induction or turbo project where the builder selects coolant lines and fittings, such as Mishimoto’s -12ORB Aluminum Fitting options, to complete the installation.
