    Mishimoto 2015 Mustang EcoBoost Video Review Series, Parts 6-8: Rear Suspension, Oil Cooler Development, and Engine Components

    We have a few really neat updates on the progress of our 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost! First, we cover the brand new independent rear suspension on our 2015 model. This includes identification of major components, as well as comparisons between a base model and the Performance Package! Check it out!

    Our next video highlights one of the awesome components our team has been working to develop/test for the past few weeks, a direct-fit oil cooler kit specifically for the EcoBoost! We saw really impressive fluid temperature decreases with this kit, and we are preparing to release this unit in around 4-6 weeks. Check out the video below for more details on our development!

  2. Cool Air for the EcoBoost. F-150 Intercooler R&D, Part 6: Pipe Fabrication

    Cool Air for the EcoBoost. F-150 Intercooler R&D, Part 6: Pipe Fabrication

    Along with creating an awesome intercooler for the EcoBoost (EB), we also want to improve upon the pathways through which air travels to and from the charge air cooler. This will involve replacing factory components that route from the turbocharger to the intercooler and from the intercooler to the throttle body with engineered aluminum pieces.

    Factory Ford F-150 EcoBoost Intercooler Piping

    The factory piping setup on the F-150 is essentially a rat's nest of molded plastic and rubber couplers that, evident upon removal, is complemented by an internal coating of oil. No wonder catch cans are so popular for these trucks!

    Our engineers felt like teenagers again with all of the oil on their skin as they removed the piping in order to inspect each piece, keeping in mind that they would need to replicate all connection points to ensure that our piping is a bolt-on setup.

    Check out the cold-side pipe, below.

  3. One Rad GT - Radiator R&D, Part 1: Stock Evaluation

    One Rad GT - Radiator R&D, Part 1: Stock Evaluation

    As many of you are aware, we have explored nearly every inch of our GT in a quest to bring you some seriously awesome Mustang parts. While catch cans and oil coolers are exciting, we have a hunch that the most anticipated product is the Mustang radiator. Aluminum radiators are the staple component among our various product lines, so we were excited to show you our progress on this project.

    The stock radiator is your run-of-the-mill OEM unit equipped with plastic end tanks. While there is nothing wrong with this setup for the average GT, we still see some room for improvement. First, Ford was on the right track when it equipped it's performance-pack version of the GT with a larger radiator. The performance-pack boasts a 36mm core, compared to the standard GT radiator that comes in at 25mm. We plan to offer our own version, which will have more capacity than either the standard or performance-pack options.
