Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler and Intercooler Pipe & Boot Kit (MMINT-BR23-21KBBK) bundles two purpose-built forced induction components into one upgrade for the 2.3L EcoBoost Ford Bronco. This Black Intercooler and Black Intercooler Pipes package replaces the factory plastic-end-tank tube-and-fin intercooler with a bar-and-plate core and cast, TIG-welded aluminum end tanks, giving the Bronco’s forced induction system a more durable, higher-flowing air-charge path.
Built around a huge 4.7-inch thick core with CNC-machined 6061 aluminum inlet and outlet flanges, this Mishimoto performance induction upgrade is engineered to move more air with less restriction than the stock intercooler and pipes. In Mishimoto’s own testing, the combined intercooler and pipe kit reduced outlet temperatures by 21.2°F and increased flow by 7 percent over stock, translating into dyno-proven gains of 5.68 hp and 5.32 lb-ft of torque. During trail-simulation heat-soak testing, after six back-to-back dyno runs the kit still delivered outlet temperatures 20°F cooler than the factory setup — a real advantage for a forced induction turbo application that sees repeated boost cycles, whether crawling trails or sitting in traffic. The kit retains full functionality of adaptive cruise control and 360-degree cameras, so none of the Bronco’s factory driver-assist features are compromised by this induction system upgrade.
