Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-MUS4-15KPSL is a direct-fit, bar-and-plate performance intercooler kit engineered specifically for the turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost engine found in the S550-chassis Ford Mustang. Built to combat the rapid heat soak that plagues the stock tube-and-fin cooler during hard track laps or aggressive street driving, this Mishimoto forced induction upgrade delivers a 35 F (19.45 C) reduction in intake air temperature while installing in the stock location with no vehicle modification required.
As a purpose-built forced induction system, this kit goes beyond a simple core swap: it replaces the entire intercooler piping circuit with both hot-side and cold-side pipes and couplers in one package. The core itself sees a 58-percent increase in overall size, a 25-percent increase in internal core volume, and a 165-percent increase in external fin surface area compared to stock, giving your Mustang’s induction engine consistently cooler, denser charge air run after run. Cast, CFD-tested aluminum end tanks with an in-tank air diverter on the hot side optimize airflow through the core, while precision TIG-welding ties the bar-and-plate construction together for a durable, performance-induction-grade cooler rated to support up to 550 horsepower.
Vehicle Applications
This intercooler kit is a specific-fit unit engineered for the 2015-2023 Ford Mustang EcoBoost and 2015-2023 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium, both built on the S550 chassis around the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. It mounts in the factory intercooler location, working around the stock active grille shutters and avoiding any airflow blockage to the radiator or AC condenser, so there’s no need to remove the front bumper cover during the roughly two-hour installation.
