We are nearing the end of this build. As mentioned in the last post, we wanted to put our core to the test and provide some cooling efficiency data that our customers could use. We decided to modify our 2010 STi to add some heat and power to the CAC system for testing. Information regarding our vehicle is listed below.

Mishimoto's 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost

As we mentioned on the forums, we have been aggressively searching for a 2015 Ecoboost Mustang for product development! We are pleased to announce that our purchase has been made, and we are expecting our 2015 Mustang to arrive on Friday the 10^th.

Our team is extremely excited to get this car into the shop and begin tearing it down to develop a performance radiator, intercooler, oil cooler kit, etc.

Before stripping our 2015 Mustang, we will be collecting a ton of images and video to provide our first impressions of the new model. This includes information regarding the 2015 Ford Mustang chassis, suspension, brakes, wheels, tires, interior, and of course the 2.3L EcoBoost. This is the first time the Mustang has been equipped with a turbo-four since the mid-eighties, and we have a team full of automotive geeks itching for a drive in

Product Introduction

The LML Duramax is the cleanest and most powerful Duramax thus far. The innovations made for this new model are quite substantial and are a direct result of serious advances in automotive technology. Unfortunately, stricter emissions standards of today result in the inclusion of a DPF (diesel particulate filter) system, which improves emissions yet hampers fuel mileage.

Luckily, not all the innovations for newer Durmax models are in place to provide cleaner air; several features of the new engine are in place for improved performance and reliability. Among the long list of improvements, a few highlights include a quick-spooling VGT turbocharger, a factory-equipped exhaust brake, upgraded designs of the main

Being pleased with our design in comparison to the stock unit, it was time to put this radiator to the test and see how the improvements would impact cooling efficiency. The first true test for this radiator would be fitment. Although this product was designed based off of dimensions from the stock radiator and the engine bay of an E36 M, we still had yet to drop this unit into a vehicle to ensure that all components bolted into position properly. We snagged the keys to our test vehicle from our videographer and easily dropped our prototype into place. Check out a few shots of this radiator installed!

It was now time to test our components and ensure that they were operating to our standards. Our previous testing showed that oil warmup was rapid enough for use on a daily driven vehicle. Next we had to confirm that temperature improvements compared to the stock cooler setup were efficient.

We used a similar testing practice with the previous version of this kit, which includes the procedures and conditions listed below.

Testing Conditions

• Ambient Temperatures: 70°F-75°F
• Driving Conditions: 6 miles of highway driving at 60 mph
• Sensors: PLX temperature sensor reading 10 times per second
