Compromise is all about finding balance. From the design studio to the streets, these Broncos have had to compromise on a few topics to make them adequate on the pavement and functional once that asphalt runs out. One of the main topics of contention between the punchy 2.3L and 2.7L workhorse is the airbox for both intake systems. While both parties have reached an agreement, for now, some renegotiation is in order, and we’re here to mediate.
Looking back to our first post, Ford opted to share the intake system’s airbox between the four and six-cylinder powerplant options. While this decision slimmed production costs, it also squandered both engines’ potential. If there’s an EcoBoost badge on a Ford, it’s almost guaranteed that enthusiasts will demand more boost from the system. That extra pressure will be in vain, though, since this airbox is one of the gatekeepers of power. Until now, that is. Continue Reading...
There’s a beauty in simplicity, especially in the automotive realm. In an age where cars practically pilot themselves, the lack of features and frills puts some character back into the driving experience. Our 2.3L Bronco is a prime example of this. Sporting almost no options from the factory other than standard equipment, this baby Bronco left enough of an impression on us here that it’s one of the few vehicles in Mishimoto history to be given a name. Pedro looks great in steel wheels, but this plucky off-roader is still a blank canvas for plenty more modification.
Our intake followed a similar design path based on the simplicity of this base Bronco’s accouterments. On the surface, Pedro might look run-of-the-mill, but that’s only skin deep. The 2.3L under the hood is packing plenty of high-tech features, specifically regarding emissions reduction. So, to keep the ecosystem in the engine bay happy, along with the one here on planet Earth, this intake tag teams with the factory emissions systems. Continue Reading...

This kit is also now on presale, so make sure that you grab yours while the special pricing lasts!Deep breaths. The slow, methodical inhale and exhale helps us land-dwelling mammals find a sense of calm focus. Breathe in….breathe out. Zen. Breathing deep has parallel effects on our horse-themed adventure machines. Where the additional air in our lungs enhances our mood and focus, these fuel-burning Broncos are dead set on a longer stride and quicker gallop. So far, we’ve spent months training our 2.3L powered Bronco on its new breathing exercises, and now the time has come to see if they’ve paid off. Continue Reading...
