Mishimoto's Performance Stock Location Intercooler R&D Thread

[Mishimoto]

Hey Guys!

Just wanted to give this thread a bump with the latest update!

LOW ROAD – 2021+ FORD BRONCO 2.3L/2.7L PERFORMANCE STOCK LOCATION INTERCOOLER R&D, PART 3 – PRODUCTION SAMPLE

Our design has come a long way since the sheet metal frame and 3D printed end tanks and has appropriately filled out its skeleton into its final form. The growth spurt started in the core with some much-needed core thickness and additional volume, ideal for giving either EcoBoost some extra pep in its step. The innards of this new core have also been updated to a much more robust bar-and-plate construction providing vastly improved durability over the OEM design.

As always, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have!

Hey Guys!

Bumping this up with a BIG update! Our plucky little Pedro, our affectionately named 2.3L base Bronco, spend some time on the Dyno the other week to test out both of our upcoming intercooler options. Make sure that you head over to our blog to check out the full results!
Low Road – 2021+ Ford Bronco 2.3L/2.7L Performance Stock Location Intercooler R&D, Part 4 – 2.3L Dyno Results

With the flow portion sorted, we needed to see how well the new intercooler performed under pressure. To find that out, we rigged our 2.3L Bronco, AKA Pedro, up to our DynaPack system for a series of rigorous dyno testing.

We start with our power pulls. These sweeps through the rev range allow us to closely examine the effect of our design improvements compared to the OEM unit. Specifically, we’re looking at the intercooler’s heat dissipation, charged air pressure, and, of course, the power figures.

After Pedro warms up and finishes his stretches, the power pulls begin. To ensure that we’re collecting and delivering the most accurate and real-world results, our test consists of much more than just a single pull with each setup. Instead, these runs are repeated until we eliminate any outliers in the data set to create a consistent trend line of results. Instead of just cherry-picking the runs with the most significant difference, we instead compare the total result trend lines for a more accurate portrayal of our findings.

So what did we find? Hit the link above to find out!

Nick, did I hear you mention in one of these threads that the performance intercooler surface area is larger than the high mount intercooler you're developing?

 

[JoeSpeed]

Looks great, just waiting to see the other option and charge pipes before I make a decision

Installed mine yesterday. Took no time at all and was very easy.

Also very happy with the overall quality of the product. It is extremely well built and very beefy compared to the stock intercooler.

Only confusing part was that 2.7’s are suppose to have some type of fan shroud on the intercooler, but my 2022 Wildtrak did not have this. So I just didn’t worry about it

Thanks for the feedback! We always love hearing from you guys. Interesting that your Wildtrack didn't have that extra shroud, I wonder if that was only on certain trims.

PS - I'm drooling over that Streefighter in your avatar photo. The closest I'll get is the Japanese copy (SV650)
