21-25 Ford Bronco 2.3L/2.7L Whipple Superchargers EB-8185 Mega Cooler

Whipple Mega Cooler – EB‑8185 (2021–2025 Ford Bronco 2.3L / 2.7L)

This Whipple Mega Cooler EB‑8185 is a high‑performance, bolt‑on intercooler upgrade engineered for the current‑generation Ford Bronco’s EcoBoost engines. It significantly enhances cooling efficiency, reduces intake air temperatures, and supports higher tune potential — all while maintaining emissions compliance in 50 states (CARB approved).

The Mega Cooler EB‑8185 is designed to replace the factory intercooler with a far more capable bar‑and‑plate core unit that fits within the stock packaging. With a 58 % increase in internal core volume and 144 % more fin surface area than stock, it delivers cooler, denser intake air under high load, enabling more aggressive spark timing and more oxygen per intake charge. Dyno testing has shown up to a 32 °F (≈ 18 °C) drop in intake temperatures under back‑to‑back pulls. It also features 12 % lower restriction versus stock, helping preserve power and throttle response under sustained use. To ensure full compatibility, the kit includes an adaptive cruise control relocation bracket and air duct. The installation is straightforward and claims to be completed in just about 2.25 hours, with no cutting or major modifications required.

Key Features

• 58 % greater internal core volume compared to factory intercooler

• 144 % increase in external fin (heat‑exchange) surface area

• 12 % less restrictive airflow path vs stock core

• Robust, TIG‑welded bar‑and‑plate construction

• Offset fin arrangement on both hot and cold sides for optimized flow

• Adaptive cruise control compatibility via included relocation hardware

• Full kit with ducting and mounting hardware

• Direct bolt‑on upgrade — no major modifications required

Benefits

• Substantially lower intake air temperatures under load — as much as 32 °F drop — yielding better density and safer detonation margins

• Ability to increase spark advance or support higher boost levels with more consistent performance

• Improved recovery between dyno or track pulls, reducing intake heat soak

• Maintains driveability and OEM-like fitment while offering a performance upgrade

• 50‑state legal, CARB certified (EO D‑231‑116) — legal for street use in all 50 states
