Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-BR27-21HKBKBK is a high-mount intercooler kit purpose-built for the 2021+ Ford Bronco’s 2.7L EcoBoost V6, pairing a relocated bar-and-plate intercooler with a complete performance intercooler pipe kit finished in stealth black. Rather than sitting behind the front bumper, this intercooler is relocated to the upper grille so it can pull in the coldest, densest air available at all times, even with winches, light bars, or larger bumpers installed. It’s a forced induction upgrade engineered for Bronco owners who want more capability from their turbocharged engine without giving up trail durability.
As a forced induction component, the intercooler sits at the heart of the 2.7L EcoBoost’s induction system, cooling compressed air before it reaches the engine so the turbos can make the most of every pound of boost. Mishimoto’s high-mount core offers 49-percent greater core volume and 93-percent greater external fin surface area than the factory unit, resulting in outlet temperatures 21 degrees cooler than stock. Paired with the included intercooler pipe kit, which reduces flow restriction by up to 34.2 percent versus the stock plastic piping, this performance induction system lets the 2.7L EcoBoost breathe freely, delivering dyno-proven gains of 11.6 HP and 13.7 lb-ft of torque on the stock tune. Cast and mandrel-bent aluminum piping and Mishimoto Silicone Boots with DuraCore technology replace the factory’s weak plastic components, adding long-term resistance to heat, pressure, fuel, and oil throughout the induction system.

How much power does this kit add?
On the stock tune, the kit produces dyno-proven gains of 11.6 HP and 13.7 lb-ft of torque.
What is the intercooler core made of?
It uses a bar-and-plate aluminum core precision TIG welded to cast aluminum end tanks, with a core thickness of 3.15 inches.
Will this affect adaptive cruise control or the 360-degree cameras?
Functionality of adaptive cruise control is retained using a relocation bracket, though it may function to a lesser degree compared to the stock intercooler setup; 360-degree cameras are unaffected.
What’s included in the kit?
The kit includes the high-mount intercooler, three intercooler mounting brackets, three intercooler ducts, an ACC sensor relocation bracket set, two grille shutter delete plugs, four hot side intercooler pipes, two cold-side intercooler pipes, nine intercooler pipe boots, eighteen heavy-duty stainless-steel worm gear clamps, mounting hardware, and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
