Welcome back to the channel, everyone! Bill here, and today I'm joined by Steve as we dive into an exciting project on his 2021 Ford Bronco. It's a first edition, sporting a stunning blue color, and we're about to enhance its performance with a Mishimoto cold air intake installation. This guide will walk you through the process, share insights, and provide tips for a successful upgrade.

Why Upgrade to a Mishimoto Cold Air Intake?

A cold air intake is a popular modification among car enthusiasts, and for good reason. It allows your engine to breathe better, potentially increasing horsepower and improving fuel efficiency. The Mishimoto cold air intake we're installing today features a dry, cleanable filter, offering a bit more air surface compared to the OEM filter.

Tools and Preparation

Before we start, ensure you have the necessary tools on hand:
- T30 Torx bit
- 8 mm and 10 mm sockets
- Worm gear clamps
- Screwdrivers

Step-by-Step Installation

Remove the OEM Airbox: Begin by removing the old OEM airbox. You'll need to take out the four T30 bolts on the top to expose the filter. Compare the OEM filter with the new Mishimoto filter to see the difference in air surface.Disconnect Wiring and Hoses: Carefully pull out the wiring harness and disconnect the blowoff valve wire. Loosen the worm gears on both sides of the airbox and remove the screw at the bottom.Remove the Charge Pipe: Next, remove the charge pipe by loosening the clamp on the turbo and taking out the 10 mm bolt underneath. This step can be tricky, so take your time.Install the New Airbox and Filter: Attach the new air filter to the airbox using the provided worm clamp. Insert the airbox into the engine bay, ensuring it fits snugly into place. Reattach the sensor from the old airbox to the new one.Reconnect Everything: Reconnect the wiring harness, blowoff valve, and any other disconnected components. Ensure all clamps and bolts are tightened securely.

Testing and Final Checks

Once everything is reassembled, start the engine to check for any issues. Listen for unusual sounds and ensure no check engine lights are on. Take the vehicle for a test drive to feel the difference in performance.

Benefits and Final Thoughts

The Mishimoto cold air intake should provide better airflow, potentially increasing horsepower and fuel efficiency. While some intakes can be quite loud, this model offers a more subtle sound.
