Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler (MMINT-BR-21BK) is a direct-fit, forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the 2021+ Ford Bronco’s 2.3L and 2.7L EcoBoost engines. Built around a 4.7-inch thick bar-and-plate core with CNC-machined 6061 aluminum flanges and precision TIG-welded cast aluminum end tanks, this black-finished intercooler is designed to outlast the factory tube-and-fin unit and its plastic end tanks. Backed by a US design patent and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, it’s built to shrug off heat, pressure, and trail debris.
As a forced induction system upgrade, this intercooler delivers a 77-percent increase in core volume and a 175-percent increase in fin surface area over the stock intercooler, letting your EcoBoost engine breathe cooler, denser air. Mishimoto’s dyno testing on the 2.3L EcoBoost showed the induction system to be 7-percent less restrictive than stock, with a 21.2-degree reduction in outlet temperature and gains of up to 5.7 whp and 5.3 lb-ft of torque; the 2.7L EcoBoost saw a 15.8-degree outlet temperature reduction with gains of up to 6.5 whp and 6.5 lb-ft of torque. In trail-simulation heat-soak testing, outlet temperatures remained 20 degrees cooler than stock even after six back-to-back dyno runs, proving this performance induction upgrade holds up whether you’re crawling rocks or stuck in traffic. Despite the added capability, the design retains full functionality of adaptive cruise control and 360-degree cameras.
