Garrett Intercooler | 2015-2022 Ford Mustang Ecoboost (857564-6001)

2015-2022 Ford Mustang Ecoboost Intercooler by Garrett

The 857564-6001 Garrett intercooler directly fits the 2015+ 2.3L Ecoboost Mustang in the stock location and can support up to 600 horsepower. This intercooler assembly leverages Garretts extensive automotive and aerospace experience to offer the market a differentiated product.

The aluminum core features an advanced offset fin design and vacuum-brazed bar-and-plate construction resulting in superior thermal and fatigue performance. CFD-optimized cast aluminum end tanks reduce recirculation and maximize flow. The complete assembly results in up to a 30% reduction in pressure drop and up to a 40-degree reduction in charge air temperature.

The intercooler installs in two and a half hours using basic hand tools and can reuse the factory hoses, clamps, and bolts. Slightly elongated inlet and outlet ports create a secure surface for hose attachment reducing the chance of detachment on higher horsepower applications while maintaining compatibility with OEM hoses and aftermarket charge pipes.

Granted by the California Air Resource Board (C.A.R.B), executive order #D-794 allows the 857564-6001 Garrett intercooler upgrade to be used on specific emission-controlled vehicles. California is the only state that is permitted to issue emissions standards with approval from the Environmental Protection Agency. Obtaining a C.A.R.B certification identifies this intercooler will not increase vehicle emissions.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a process that uses numerical calculations to simulate the movement of gasses through defined boundaries and various conditions. Supercomputers take days to perform each analysis and have become a standard process used when developing Garrett thermal products.

To maximize the available space and cooling potential, the Garrett intercooler core is 60% larger than stock and features an advanced offset fin design and vacuum brazed bar-and-plate construction resulting in superior fatigue performance and up to a 40-degree reduction in charge air temperature.

A stock 2016 2.3L EcoBoost Mustang was used to perform consecutive dyno pull comparisons to simulate on-track conditions with the Garrett intercooler and the OE intercooler. In the chart above, each peak represents one dyno pull. The top peaks show inlet air temperatures which remain consistent around 275 degrees while the bottom peaks reflect outlet air temperatures going into the engine.

Heat soak/saturation identifies the limit at which an intercooler can no longer reduce charge air temperatures going into the engine. Looking at the chart we can see that both intercoolers reach heat saturation at significantly different times and significantly different temperatures.
