Mishimoto's Performance Intake R&D Thread

Mar 07, 2022

Hey Guys!

Nick from Mishimoto back again with EVEN MORE goodies in the works for the Bronco platform, this time in the form of a fresh new intake kit! So far we dove into the stock kit and started to work on our airbox design that will be compatible across both engine options. Make sure that you check out the first installment of our process over on our Engineering Blog:

Wild Breath – 2021+ Ford Bronco 2.3L/2.7L Performance Air Intake R&D, Part 1 – Stock Review and Airbox Design Plans

Just like the wild horses these trucks take their name from, every Ford Bronco is equipped with a “go anywhere, do anything” attitude from the factory. No matter which engine is cradled under the hood, each Bronco is more than well equipped for a life of automotive freedom. However, for those serious overlanders lugging heavy recovery or camping equipment or those just looking for some extra shove back in their seat, some more power is needed. The intake system is the best place to start on your expedition for additional power.
...
Typically, when a manufacturer like Ford designs an intake system for their road-going vehicles, the engineering team performs a balancing act between a few factors to devise their final kit. These factors include meeting stringent efficiency and emissions standards, reducing harsh engine noises, maximizing performance, all while fitting into the manufacturing budget. Basically, it’s not an easy feat and usually involves compromises in terms of performance, specifically for the airbox’s design. Read more...

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

Cant wait, already a yuge improvement over Roush’s “CAI” system

Got the little channel for water included as well, right?

You guys always do some great write ups. Hopefully these products can come sooner than later as it seems the aftermarket is still lacking. Many companies that showcased at Sema have been super quiet on their products they announced back in November.

Wildtrak, 4DR, Iconic Silver, High, Camo Seats.

I'll be surprised if the street intercooler kit isn't released sometime this summer, and I'm sure the CAI will be available a lot sooner.

Unlike Roush, I'd pay anywhere from

and up for it, since it's more than just a lid and cone

Yep, we're retaining the OEM water channel and dust traps! We're also incorporating a drain into our airbox too, just to be extra safe ;)

Much appreciated! We're moving right along with these kits and aiming to have both out by the summer
