    With our general design created, our engineering team set to work developing 3D models of the components for this kit. Check them out below!

    The bracketing would be split into several components and the coolers mounted in a V format. The diverter in the middle of the coolers would prevent airflow escaping between the cores and direct it through the heat exchangers. Oil flow would enter through one cooler, move to the next, and then exit back toward the engine. Check out some 3D images below of the fittings that we needed for this kit.

    Now that we had our renderings, a real prototype was worked up, and we needed to find a vehicle for test fitting and data collection. We used our local contacts to source a 2010 GSR model that fit the bill perfectly.

    If you have not kept up with Mishimoto's new line of direct-fit oil coolers, you will be surprised to see that we are working on developing a kit for any vehicle we find that has a general need for reduced temperatures. A majority of our selections are enthusiast vehicles, which we know are being driven on the track and pushed hard on a regular basis. Oil temperature regulation will help reduce engine wear and is key to ensuring that your bearings are properly lubricated. I am sure you already know that! As oil heats up it begins to lose its viscosity, and at a certain point it becomes essentially useless for both temperature reduction and lubrication.

    Stock Evolutions are having some issues with temperature, but we have seen even more problems with increased temperatures on modified vehicles. With the ease of pulling power out of the
