  1. Airflow for the Masses - Performance Intake R&D, Part 2 - Design Plans

    Airflow for the Masses - Performance Intake R&D, Part 2 - Design Plans

    Anything deemed "for the masses" doesn't happen on a whim. Just think of all of the items that took the world by storm, like the Beetle, the iPod, or even this Accord. Plenty of careful thought and consideration went into the design, production, and distribution to ensure that every individual unit rolling off the production line would live up to the sensation created around it. While our intake kit for the 1.5T powered Accord won't reach the same tier as the iPod, we still want to ensure that we put equal consideration into the development, starting with the plan.

    To start, we need to know precisely how well the stock intake performs in terms of flow. For that, as part of our previous "intakectamy," our engineer, Ye, strapped the factory kit on to our flow bench for preliminary testing. Ye then

  2. Basic Needs - Aluminum Primary Degas Tank R&D

    Basic Needs - Aluminum Primary Degas Tank R&D

    This Aluminum Primary Degas Tank for the 2011-2019 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke is Available Now! Click here to Check it Out!


    Cooling is one of the basic needs of any engine, and for a workhorse like the 2011-2019 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke, any failure in the cooling system can be disastrous.

    The 6.7L Powerstroke's cooling system is divided into two parts. The primary cooling system cools the engine, engine oil, transmission, and EGR. It also supplies heat to the cabin via the heater core. The secondary cooling system focuses on performance, cooling the air-to-water intercooler and the fuel. Both systems have a common weak point, however: their respective degas tanks.

    Like almost every manufacturer,

    Building Endurance - Performance Radiator Kit R&D, Part 6 - Testing Results

    PERFORMANCE ALUMINUM RADIATOR KIT, FITS TOYOTA GR SUPRA 3.0L, 2020+

    Endurance is all about the long term. Building endurance in the automotive industry might mean keeping the car on the track for a few more minutes or stretching the same performance over a few extra years. Since the 2020+ Supra finds itself taking up both track and daily driving duties, we wanted to make sure our new radiators cover all the bases in improving the Supra's endurance.

    The demand for quality has sharply increased over the years. In the past, overheating sometimes was a part of owning a performance vehicle. The technology behind cooling has improved by leaps and bounds over the past decade, leaving a small margin for increasing performance. That's especially true when a BMW
