The fourth-generation Toyota Tacoma is a capable truck, but its stock air intake leaves untapped potential. Designed for quiet operation and everyday reliability, the factory system restricts airflow, softens induction sound, and dulls throttle response. The Mishimoto Performance Air Intake addresses these limitations, providing a direct-fit, bolt-on upgrade that enhances power, improves engine tone, and refines the engine bay’s appearance, all without compromising reliability or requiring a custom tune.

Development started with a detailed analysis of the OEM system, which includes a corrugated rubber intake tube, a panel filter housed in a closed airbox, and ducting

The FL5 Honda Civic Type R is engineered for performance, whether on the street or track, but the FL5’s high-revving 2.0L turbocharged engine can push its oil system to the limit during spirited driving. Sustained high-speed runs, aggressive cornering, and track sessions elevate oil temperatures, increasing the risk of premature wear and reduced performance. The Mishimoto Oil Cooler Kit for the 2023+ Civic Type R addresses these challenges by expanding oil capacity and improving cooling efficiency, giving enthusiasts the ability to drive harder for longer without compromising reliability.

At the heart of the kit is a 19-row stacked plate cooler designed to capture maximum airflow while remaining

When pushing a 2023+ Honda Civic Type R to its limits, heat becomes one of the most restrictive factors in extracting consistent performance. The K20C1 turbocharged engine delivers impressive power out of the factory, but under sustained high-load driving, intake air temperatures rise quickly. This not only limits peak power but also causes the ECU to reduce output as a protective measure. To address these challenges, we developed the Performance Intercooler Kit for the FL5 Civic Type R, engineered to reduce intake air temperatures, improve airflow, and maintain consistent performance through repeated heat-soak conditions.

Our development process began with a detailed analysis of

Keeping your 2024+ Toyota Tacoma cool isn’t just about comfort or convenience, it’s central to the truck’s ability to tow, climb, crawl, and survive long days on the trail without losing performance. Modern Tacomas are built on a far more complex platform than previous generations, with more electronics, more thermal load, and more demand placed on the engine and transmission. That means the stock cooling system has more work to do even before you begin adding larger tires, steel bumpers, camping gear, or towing weight. Heat steadily builds as the vehicle works harder, and while the stock components manage everyday driving reasonably well, they begin to reveal their limitations once conditions turn demanding. A performance aluminum radiator and silicone coolant hose kit address those limitations by strengthening the system where it matters most, improving heat management, and eliminating known weak points before they become failures.

Upgrading a transmission cooler on a 2024+ Toyota Tacoma might not be the first modification off-roaders think of, but for anyone towing trailers, tackling rugged trails, or running their truck hard, heat is the silent threat that can compromise performance and reliability. Automatic transmissions generate a lot of heat under stress, and while the stock liquid-to-liquid coolers in the Tacoma’s radiator and fan shroud do a reasonable job, they have their limits when the load increases or conditions become extreme. That’s where a dedicated, high-capacity transmission cooler comes in, offering a way to manage temperatures more effectively and reduce stress on the truck’s entire cooling system.

The fourth-generation Toyota Tacoma introduced a new turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, replacing the long-standing naturally aspirated engines used in earlier generations. Turbocharged setups offer increased torque and efficiency, but higher intake air temperatures can reduce performance consistency during sustained load conditions such as towing, off-roading, or repeated high-RPM operation. The Performance Intercooler Kit for the 2024+ Tacoma is designed to address these challenges through improved cooling efficiency, optimized airflow, and precise fitment within the tightly packaged engine bay.

Our engineers began the development process by evaluating the stock intercooler, which already

In a world of performance-oriented hatchbacks, few names carry the same reverence as the Honda Civic Type R. Whether it’s carving through backroads or setting lap times that embarrass cars twice its price, the CTR continues to punch above its weight. But with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine putting out 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the FL5-generation Type R faces a common challenge shared by all high-performance machines—heat.

Honda’s engineering team gave the new CTR a capable cooling system from the factory, but like most OEM setups, it’s built with mass production and cost-efficiency in mind. For owners who demand more—whether that’s consistent lap times at the track or extra margin on a hot summer drive—our engineers set out to create a comprehensive cooling solution. The result is a trio of upgrades built to work in harmony: our Performance

With the arrival of the fourth-generation Tacoma and its all-new 2.4L turbocharged powerplant, our engineers jumped at the chance to dive under the hood and get to work. Every new generation brings fresh challenges and fresh opportunities, and for us, that means figuring out where we can improve on OEM design to better serve the drivers who take their trucks beyond the pavement. The expansion tank was one of the first components we had our eyes on.

Like most stock units, it’s made from plastic—a material that works well enough under normal conditions but can show its limits over long-term use. Off-roading, heat cycles, and time itself will eventually take their toll. That’s where our latest upgrade comes in.

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.

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.
