    Time to review our data so we can finally put a close on this project. The product development process for this front-mount intercooler has taken months and has also helped refine several of our processes. Before we move into the testing data, our first portion of this post will cover the physical benefits of our intercooler. By providing a more efficient heat exchanger, we can ensure that higher-powered vehicles are not being hindered by debilitating heat-soak

    Time to install our prototype radiator into a test vehicle to make sure that it fits perfectly. Luckily, we were able to check fitment on the same donor vehicle we used for our last round of testing. Once the truck rolled into the shop, we quickly installed our prototype radiator shown at the end of our last post. Check out a few shots taken during the installation process!

    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 10th.

    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

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
