Now that we had our project objectives outlined, we could bring in a vehicle to begin the first stage of product development. After checking with our local contacts, we were able to locate the 2010 6.7L you see below!

As promised, we have a couple cool images showing these kits fully installed on our test vehicles. Check them out below!

First, our full kit installed on our shop 2003 WRX Bugeye wagon!

As you may be aware, our team recently had a 2015 Launch Edition STI in our shop so we could evaluate the vehicle, determine which of our current products fit properly, and begin designing a few new additions that would be specific to the 2015 model. Check out the video below featuring our Subaru expert, Jason. He discusses the changes that have been made with the new model and what Mishimoto components we were able to fit onto the vehicle.

Stay tuned for additional information regarding our upcoming products for the 2015 STI!

Thanks for reading!

Mishimoto Subaru WRX/Sti Aluminum Radiator Stay Set

Now that we had our battery tie-down finalized, we could focus on the next component we wanted to tackle in the engine bay. Our next target would be the radiator stays, the small stamped steel pieces holding the radiator to the radiator support. We offer anodized aluminum radiator stays for a variety of vehicles including the previous generation WRX/STI, Honda Civic, and Ford Mustang.

For this particular project, we would be following a similar route. Our stays would be produced in aluminum and then anodized in a variety of colors to match an engine bay accent color. Before we get into the Mishimoto design, take a look at the stock components.

Time to design an intercooler! Our first step toward this goal was to remove the intercooler so we could collect all the data points we needed. All front-end components were then removed from the truck to provide access.

Mishimoto is not only interested in improving the performance, reliability, and power output of your new Subaru, but we also care about aesthetics. Small touches in the engine bay can make a big impact on the overall appearance and also provide a sense of personalization. Our first targeted component is the battery tie-down. The stock tie-down is rather bland, its main purpose being functionality, which is fine for a stock unit. For those looking to upgrade, a stylish aluminum replacement is ideal. In case you haven't yet peered into the engine bay of your "15, here is what the stock tie-down looks like.

Time to weld up some pipes! This would be the more time-consuming portion of this project, as most of these vehicles would require a specific pipe kit. We would not be able to utilize one set of pipes across the model board, as we did with the intercooler. Going in order, we started with our Bugeye. One of our test vehicles featured a reasonably stock engine bay, as shown below.

Many of you may be following our other write-up regarding the development of our intercooler for the 2010-2012 6.7L Cummins. Along with designing and testing an incredibly efficient intercooler, we also worked to improve the engine cooling efficiency by crafting a performance aluminum radiator. A typical enthusiast may be wondering, why would I want to upgrade my radiator? Couldn't I spend that money on modifications that make my truck faster, louder, and more fun? Possibly, but keep in mind the benefits of an aluminum radiator upgrade. First, the improvement in reliability is a huge factor for many of our consumers. The factory radiator is constructed from an aluminum core mated to plastic end tanks. The connection point uses a rubber gasket which is then

Many of you followed along as our team developed a variety of new products for the 2015 WRX. Recently, we were lucky enough to come into contact with a gracious 2015 STI Launch Edition owner who was willing to lend us his vehicle for a few days of product development, test fitting, and of course dyno testing. Check out a neat gallery of images featuring the vehicle and a video featuring dyno pulls with our prototype performance air intake. More information on our intake design coming soon!
