Description
The Mishimoto High-Mount Intercooler Kit (MMINT-BR27-21HKBKSL) is a forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the 2021+ Ford Bronco 2.7L EcoBoost. Rather than simply swapping a core, Mishimoto relocated the entire intercooler to the upper grille, combining a high-mount intercooler with a performance intercooler pipe kit so the 2.7L EcoBoost can breathe the coldest, densest air possible.
This forced induction system was built to solve two problems at once: heat soak and restriction. The 3.1-inch-thick bar-and-plate core is precision TIG welded to cast aluminum end tanks, giving this induction system 49-percent greater core volume and 93-percent greater external fin surface area than the factory unit, which translates into 21-degree cooler outlet temperatures. The factory’s weak plastic piping is replaced with cast and mandrel-bent aluminum pipes and Mishimoto Silicone Boots with DuraCore technology, cutting pipe restriction by up to 34.2 percent. Together, this performance induction upgrade produced dyno-proven gains of up to 11.6 HP and 13.7 lb-ft of torque on the stock tune, while the upper-grille mounting position improves airflow and trail clearance even with winches, light bars, or larger bumpers installed.
Vehicle Applications
