    Prototype Modeling

    Now that we had a core that was functioning to our standards, it was time to finalize our end tank design and make 3D models to reflect our plans. After some lengthy modeling work, we came up with the renders you see below!

    Will this cooler be efficient enough to properly handle the heat and pressure created by the EcoBoost? Will we see any power gains during testing? These questions will be answered in the next few minutes, perhaps even quicker if you get scroll happy and skip ahead. Don't ruin the suspense!

    Stock Intercooler Testing

    First, we would need to capture data from the stock intercooler. We installed bungs on both the hot- and cold-side couplers for our pressure and temperature sensors.

    An Interesting Discovery

    At this point, our intercooler project took an interesting turn. We wanted to develop a cooler, including going through the process of 3D design, and working up a prototype unit. That said, we had a new idea to get some early baseline testing for core design.

    After swinging by our sample room, we retrieved the cooler shown below.

    With nearly a 30-year gap between the old and new turbocharged 4-cylinder Mustang, some things are bound to change. The new Mustang features many interesting advances in technology, including direct injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger, a DOHC cylinder head with variable valve timing, and a newly designed intercooler. The 80's model featured a top-mount intercooler that was fed cool air through a functional hood scoop. This was pretty slick stuff for the days when the Walkman revolutionized how we listen to music, and "the Clapper" paved the way for a new level of laziness.

    The new Mustang features a very efficient front-mounted intercooler that fits right below the radiator. A fresh stream of airflow passes through

    Here at Mishimoto Automotive, we're really excited for the new Ecoboost Mustang.

    So excited in fact that we couldn't wait for the car to get here to begin Product Development.

    We have a factory Mustang intercooler in house and are going to begin analyzing it while we wait for a development car to arrive. In the meantime, we wanted to give our fellow enthusiasts a quick look at what the factory unit looks like.

    Check out the video and image gallery below!

    Expect to see a lot more from us in the coming months. We'll be posting in-depth development threads, showing you all the different testing and analysis that goes into each and every one of our products.

    In the meantime, what else do you want
