After reading an article in a trade journal claiming the diesel engine would never be successful on the road, Clessie Cummins, founder of Cummins Engine Co., decided to take that statement as a challenge. In a used Packard limousine with a Cummins engine swap, Clessie and his chief engineer departed Indianapolis for the 1930 Automobile Show in New York City. They faced hundreds of miles of rough roads and terrible winter weather but arrived on time and with a fuel cost of just $1.38, only to be barred from entering the show because Cummins hadn’t registered in advance.

For truck enthusiasts and professionals alike, ensuring continued performance is crucial. One of the most prominent threats to a truck’s performance is heat—especially when it comes to the transmission. An overheating transmission can cause serious damage, particularly when the truck is working hard while towing or off-roading. That’s why we’ve been hard at work developing our Transmission Cooler for the 2019+ Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500.
Mitch, our engineer, set out to design a transmission cooler that would outperform stock. He opted for a tube-and-fin core design, which is less prone to develop air pockets as fluid moves through the system and more resistant to pressure drops. Mitch’s direct-fit

With 475 horsepower and 1,050 ft-lbs routed through a 10-speed 10R140 TorqShift transmission, the 2020-2022 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke was designed for serious towing. With big power comes lots of heat, and this is especially true when hauling heavy loads or towing uphill. As impressive as this truck is, heat is the enemy of any transmission, and as temperatures rise, so do problems.
The stock transmission cooler does a decent job of cooling, but if you’re looking to push this truck to the limit, decent won’t do. That’s why we’ve been hard at work developing the Mishimoto Transmission Cooler for the 2020-2022 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke—the first of its kind on the market. -

As the Toyota GR Corolla enters its third model year, we’ve been hard at work expanding our lineup of performance products for the rally-inspired machine. The 1.6 liter three-cylinder G16E-GTS engine is the highest power-per-liter output of any Toyota road car engine with each cylinder responsible for 100 horsepower, boasting a total of 300 horsepower out of a remarkably small engine. The engineers at Toyota’s Gazoo Racing Division achieved this feat by pairing the G16E-GTS with a turbocharger capable of 26.3 psi of boost.

Picture yourself on the shoulder of the highway. You noticed the gears slipping a few miles back but decided to ignore it because you were only a few miles from home. Those slipping gears turned into violent lurches, and before you knew it, your 2019+ RAM 6.7L Cummins was sporting a Christmas tree dashboard and that dreaded burnt smell. Your transmission is toast.
But it didn’t have to be this way—if you had the Mishimoto Performance Transmission Cooler, you’d have made it home.

Every owner of a performance vehicle knows the importance of keeping their car running cool, but not everyone knows where to start when it comes to upgrading their cooling system. For owners of the 2024+ Ford Mustang looking to take the next step in performance and reliability for their car’s cooling system, it’s best to start with the basics—the coolant expansion tank.
The stock coolant expansion tank on the 2024+ Ford Mustang leaves a lot to be desired. The plastic construction isn’t just an eyesore, it’s not designed to stand the test of time. After repeated heat cycles the plastic yellows and becomes brittle, leading to a higher risk of cracking and coolant leakage. This risk only increases when the vehicle is driven hard, such as fast laps at the track or hard pulls on the dragstrip.

For truck owners who depend on their vehicle for work, reliability and performance are paramount. Whether your truck is a construction fleet vehicle or a dedicated tow rig, one of its greatest enemies is heat — especially when it comes to the transmission.
Transmissions can generate a lot of heat, especially when towing, driving in rough conditions, and off-roading. This becomes more of a problem when they’re paired to a powerful engine, such as those used in GMT800 and GMT900 trucks, which is why we’ve been hard at work developing our Performance Transmission Cooler for the 1999-2013 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra.

Following the immense success of the rally-inspired GR Yaris overseas, Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division needed an offering for the North American market. After years of work—including delays brought on by Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, who wasn’t initially satisfied with the prototype—their result was the Toyota 2023 GR Corolla. Sharing the unique 1.6 liter three-cylinder G16E-GTS engine with the GR Yaris, the GR Corolla puts out an impressive 300 horsepower and 273lb-ft of torque.
So, what does having one of the most powerful three-cylinder engines in history mean? Well, it means you’re in for a lot of fun. But it also means when you’re driving hard, you’ve got to keep that straight-three engine cool. That’s why we’ve been hard at work developing the aluminum Performance Radiator for the 2023+ Toyota GR Corolla.

In 2006, BMW introduced a new mass-produced turbocharged engine for the first time in twenty years—the N54. Three years later, they released the N55 as a successor to the N54, which offered fuel efficiency and reliability improvements over its predecessor. While the two engines have their differences, at their core they’re both three-liter, turbocharged straight-six engines, both put out over 300 horsepower, and both were used for as the powerplant for numerous BMW models. But they have something else in common—a weak point.

When Nissan planted the powerful VR30DDTT 3L V6 engine with twin turbochargers in the Nissan Z, there wasn’t much room left in the engine bay. The cramped area didn’t allow enough space to accommodate the traditional top-and-bottom-split airbox design, so they created a unique single-piece airbox with vertically inserted panel filters that maximized flow while minimizing size.
As enthusiasts and engineers, we tipped our hats to appreciate the work Nissan did with this design. But we couldn’t help but ask ourselves—how can we make it even better?
