Mishimoto Intercooler

Has anybody looked into these guys for an upgraded intercooler? Mishimoto

Ford F250 w/ 6.0L Powerstroke Intercooler, 2003-2006, by Mishimoto

Looks like they only make one for the 6.0, but plenty of guys are doing the conversion. I like the idea of having alum. end tanks not the cheap plastic ones.

1/2 price of the Spearco & Banks intercoolers...maybe a chinese knockoff and 1/2 the performance too...dunno.


What do you guys think???

Better be VERY good for that price, even if it's only half that of a Banks.

Can't you find a six-oh cooler for your 7.3?

How much horsepower do you need to make?

By the time you add shipping, you could have a brand new 6.0 cooler for half of that.

I'm with Marv.

I've heard good things about them from a few places, but it seems they are pretty new to the market so not much info out there yet. I also see them advertising radiators in dirt bike magazines now.

Mishimoto is top notch stuff. They have been in the import scene for years. Even mentioned in the original fast and furious.
I did a mishimoto rad and double fan setup in a mr2 and the fitment was great

Thanks superduty4x4 and rat49f6. I also noticed the import car and dirt bike stuff. I like their idea of reinforcing the radiators on the dirt bike stuff, rather than relying on extra braces.

Does anyone have an input on their trans coolers?

Ford F250 Powerstroke Mishimoto Heavy Duty Trans Cooler: eBay Motors (item 280540166671 end time Aug-25-10 11:45:23 PDT)

Looks like a nice unit.

If not, anyone have a source for the 6.0 coolers I hear a lot of you are using? Can't seem to find any on ebay.

Just look on Ebay and they pop up from time to time. With that cooler, you have to find some way to attach it and it better be good or it can mess up whatever is in front or behind of it. Ask my friend who used some zip ties.

Can someone post the core size of the 6.0L stock intercooler? Just the core nothing else.

My stock 7.3L measures 30x18x2.5 or 1350 ci

The Mishimoto 6.0L spec's are 25.5x21x2.5 or 1338 ci ~12ci less


Thanks.

I dunno- it sounds a bit too, umm, "foreign" for me LOL. I agree with the others though, look for a good used 6.oh cooler or even a new one, that'll support up to what, 450hp or so?

Thanks HD Rider.

I think I am gonna write off the 6.0 intercooler all together for now.

The stock 6.0 is about 134 ci less (1350 vs 1216 ci) than my 7.3 IC, even if it does have high flow end tanks.

Yes it is taller, 3" taller. But its also narrower by 4.25 to 4.5" both the aftermarket and stock IC by the numbers given.

Many here have seen lower EGT's with the 6.0 cooler.

I'm going froward with mine as soon as I get the boots.
