Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-A2W-SP-2 is a purpose-built air-to-water intercooler core engineered for forced induction platforms that need serious heat rejection in a compact footprint. Configured with same-side inlet/outlet coolant ports and a bar-and-plate core, this specific-grade Performance unit is rated for up to 1000 recommended horsepower and 100 psi of boost. Its 5mm-thick cast-aluminum end tanks are TIG-welded to the core, giving this induction system component the strength to stand up to demanding forced induction applications.
Air-to-water intercooling has grown in popularity because it packs the cooling efficiency of a liquid-to-air core into a smaller package than a comparable air-to-air unit, helping reduce heat soak and detonation for more consistent power output. As part of Mishimoto’s larger air-to-water intercooler lineup — offered across multiple core sizes, single or dual-pass coolant flow, and same-side or opposite-side outlet configurations supporting builds up to 1500 horsepower — the MMINT-A2W-SP-2 brings that compact-efficiency approach to serious forced induction turbo and induction engine projects. CNC-machined ribbed inlet and outlet couplers grip intercooler piping securely, while male ORB-style coolant ports built into the core streamline plumbing for your forced induction system, including setups paired with a Mishimoto air-to-water heat exchanger. A durable micro wrinkle black powder coat finish rounds out the presentation.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto air-to-water intercooler core is sold as a specific-fit configuration within Mishimoto’s air-to-water product line rather than a bolt-in unit for a listed factory vehicle, and no specific make, model, or engine code fitment is provided for this core. It is intended for fabricators and shops building custom forced induction systems, turbo or supercharger swaps, and engine bay layouts where a compact, high-capacity air-to-water core is needed. The included 1/8-inch thick steel universal mounting bracket and hardware are designed to help integrate this core into a wide range of custom induction system installations.
