21-25 Ford Bronco 2.3L/2.7L EcoBoost CVF BRHM1-SV/BK High Mount Intercooler

CVF High Mount Intercooler — Part No. CVF BRHM1-SV/BK

The CVF High Mount Intercooler BRHM1‑SV is a performance‐upgrade essential for the 2021‑2025 Ford Bronco with 2.3L or 2.7L EcoBoost engines. Designed for serious power demands, this high mount unit replaces the stock intercooler with a dramatically larger core, positioning it behind the grille for maximum cooling potential while preserving space for aggressive bumpers and skid plates. With superior construction, airflow optimization, and proven reductions in charge air temperature, this is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved thermal stability and enhanced performance under demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Mounts high behind the grille, allowing fitment with more aggressive bumpers and skid plates.

• Core size measuring 21.7 × 11.9 × 3 in., delivering ~95% more cooling area than the OEM intercooler.

• Proprietary core technology that achieves over a 30‑degree drop in Intake Air Temperature (IAT2) compared to stock location units.

• High‑flow cast end tanks with CVF logo, which outperform many welded‑aluminum tanks in flow efficiency.

• TIG‑welded bar‑and‑plate aluminum core provides strength, durability, and excellent thermal performance.

• NOTE: Does not fit with aftermarket hot & cold side pipe kits; the 2.3L version requires minor modification to the included pipes for fitment.

Benefits

• Significantly lower charge air temperatures, which means reduced knock and more consistent power delivery under load or in heat.

• Improved performance especially during repeated pulls or towing, since thermal efficiency reduces heat soak.

• Enables more power potential when combined with other bolt‑on upgrades or tuning, because the engine is fed cooler air more consistently.

• Preserves fitment flexibility for front‑end modifications (bumpers, light bars, skid plates) thanks to high mount placement.

• Lifetime warranty from CVF ensures long‑term peace of mind and protection against defects. 

Product Specs

• Core dimensions: 21.7 × 11.9 × 3 inches

• Cooling area: approximately 95% larger than OEM intercooler’s core area.

• Construction material: high‑grade aluminum (core + cast end tanks) with TIG‑welded bar‑and‑plate design.

• Finish options: Silver (SV) or Black (BK) variants.

• Compatibility notes: 2.3L version has pipes included that may need minor trimming/modification when installed; aftermarket hot‑and‑cold side pipe kits are not compatible.

Install Difficulty Level

Installation of the CVF High Mount Intercooler BRHM1‑SV is moderate in effort but quite manageable. Basic mechanical skills and common hand tools are sufficient. Removal of the active grille shutters (AGS) is required, and in the case of the 2.3L, minor trimming or modification to the included pipes is needed. Based on community feedback and CVF estimates, the installation can be completed in about 2 to 3 hours for someone familiar with Bronco front ends.

Vehicle Fitment

This intercooler fits the following vehicles:
2021‑2025 Ford Bronco, 2.3L EcoBoost engine
2021‑2025 Ford Bronco, 2.7L EcoBoost engine
