Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-A2W-SP-3 is a purpose-built air-to-water intercooler featuring a bar-and-plate aluminum core, 5mm-thick cast-aluminum end tanks, and a same-side inlet/outlet configuration engineered to support forced induction builds producing up to 1500 horsepower. Every unit in this lineup is professionally TIG-welded, giving it a pressure tolerance of up to 100 psi of boost and making it a serious core component for high-output charge-air cooling projects.
As intercooler technology has evolved, air-to-water intercooling has grown in popularity for its compact efficiency compared to traditional air-to-air setups, and Mishimoto engineered this forced induction intercooler to bring that efficiency to demanding performance builds. By keeping intake air temperatures down, this induction system component helps reduce the impact of heat soak and detonation, supporting more consistent power output from a force induction setup. The bar-and-plate core, CNC-machined ribbed inlet/outlet couplers, and -12ORB coolant ports work together to deliver a durable, leak-resistant upgrade for anyone assembling a custom performance induction package, and it’s available in multiple core sizes and end tank configurations with single or dual-pass coolant flow.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto air-to-water intercooler core is built as a component for custom forced induction installations rather than for a single factory-specific application; no particular make, model, or engine code data is listed for this configuration. It’s intended to be plumbed into a custom air-to-water intercooler system supporting builds up to 1500 horsepower, and the included 1/8-inch thick steel universal mounting bracket is designed to simplify fitment into a variety of engine bay layouts during a custom install.
