Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-A2W-DP-1 is a purpose-built air-to-water intercooler engineered for forced induction projects that need serious charge-air cooling in a tight package. This particular configuration is the 500HP-rated core with same-side inlet and outlet connections, built around a bar-and-plate design that Mishimoto rates to withstand up to 100 psi of boost pressure.
Heat soak and the detonation risk that comes with it are the enemies of consistent power output in any forced induction system, and this intercooler is designed to pull heat out of the intake charge quickly and efficiently. Because it uses an air-to-water design rather than a traditional air-to-air core, it offers a compact footprint that suits custom induction system layouts where space is tight. The 5mm-thick cast-aluminum end tanks are custom engineered for strong airflow and are professionally TIG-welded to the core, while CNC-machined ribbed inlet and outlet couplers help keep piping connections locked in place under boost. Core-integrated ORB coolant ports simplify plumbing, and Mishimoto offers a matching aluminum fitting selection to adapt to your preferred coolant line setup.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto intercooler is listed as a specific-fit core intended for integration into a custom forced induction turbo build rather than direct bolt-on installation on a single factory platform, and no OEM vehicle, chassis, or engine codes are specified for it. That makes it a strong fit for turbo swaps, engine builds, and other performance induction projects where the piping, mounting points, and coolant circuit are already being custom fabricated around a forced induction system or induction engine setup.
