Mishimoto Dodge 6.7L Cummins Intercooler

Our prototype intercooler is ready to go! Let's take a quick peek at what our engineers designed!

First impressions, this cooler is massive compared to the factory unit. Our engineers weren't kidding when they mentioned that the size increase would be significant. You will notice two dimples on the intercooler outlet. They are predefined spots for injection systems such as methanol, or for a temperature/boost pressure sensor. These bungs are not predrilled, but they provide extra material thickness for those who wish to drill and tap the port. Pretty slick! You can also see from these images that our core is a solid bar-and-plate design. Now, let's compare the core thickness of the factory intercooler to the Mishimoto unit.

Now that we had our project objectives outlined, we could bring in a vehicle to begin the first stage of product development. After checking with our local contacts, we were able to locate the 2010 6.7L you see below!

A big thank you to the owner of this truck! Take a look under the hood. This truck was equipped with some basic bolt-on modifications.

Once the truck was in our shop, we set to work removing the factory radiator. Our goal was to capture all critical dimensions on the radiator so we could use these data points to design our radiator. Additionally, we would be taking measurements on the vehicle to ensure any enlargements we made would not interfere with components on the truck. Check out a few images of the factory radiator

Time to design an intercooler! Our first step toward this goal was to remove the intercooler so we could collect all the data points we needed. All front-end components were then removed from the truck to provide access.

Once we had the factory intercooler out of the truck, we set it up on our CMM table to grab all the dimensions we needed. Using our Romer  arm, we can collect critical points in a controlled environment and use them in Solidworks to develop a prototype. Check out a shot of this intercooler being modeled!

Once we collected all our points on both the intercooler and the body of the vehicle, our engineering team set to work designing

Many of you may be following our other write-up regarding the development of our intercooler for the 2010-2012 6.7L Cummins. Along with designing and testing an incredibly efficient intercooler, we also worked to improve the engine cooling efficiency by crafting a performance aluminum radiator. A typical enthusiast may be wondering, why would I want to upgrade my radiator? Couldn't I spend that money on modifications that make my truck faster, louder, and more fun? Possibly, but keep in mind the benefits of an aluminum radiator upgrade. First, the improvement in reliability is a huge factor for many of our consumers. The factory radiator is constructed from an aluminum core mated to plastic end tanks. The connection point uses a rubber gasket which is then crimped to the core to provide an appropriate seal.

Mishimoto joined the diesel world around 16 months ago, and since that time we have been providing unmatched cooling protection and performance for Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax engines. Using our knowledge and experience in the development of products for sport compact and European vehicles, our team is able to design, enhance, test, and manufacture a variety of beneficial components for your truck. We already carry a slew of products for Dodge Cummins trucks, including the following:

• Aluminum Radiators, 1989-2009
• Performance Intercoolers, 2003-2009
• Silicone Radiator Hose Kits, 1994-2010
• Factory-Fit Silicone Intercooler Boot Kits, 1994-2012
• Aluminum Intercooler Pipe and Boot Kits, 2003-2009

We currently carry a very full product line for the third-generation Cummins. Once we had that finalized, it was time to turn our attention toward the fourth
