    Mishimoto's 2016 Camaro SS Oil Cooler Pre-Sale

    As the summer drags unremittingly further into the humid, heavy annals of August, it continues to push our air conditioners to the very cusp of their abilities, and I can't help but to dream of cooler weather. I will certainly miss the summer, but a break from the hellish bake of these past few weeks will certainly be welcomed.

    It's pretty safe to say there's not a whole lot that your Camaro likes about this weather. The joy of being on the road notwithstanding, this persistent heat does not otherwise make your car very happy. However, we want your Camaro to enjoy what's left of summer; that's why we have recently released a Mishimoto 2016 Camaro

    House of the Rising Engine Temperatures - Thermostat Housing R&D, Part 1: 3D-Print

    For those of you not familiar with the climate here in New Castle, Delaware, let me educate you on our summers; they are hot, and they are HUMID. In the dead of the July heatwave, there is nothing worse than smoldering in an apartment with no AC. I am always very appreciative of the little part of my psyche that drives me, once I can barely stand the heat, to pause Top Gear, get off the couch, and grab a cold, refreshing drink. If I were a car, that little part of my psyche would have a name, and it would be called a thermostat.

    Billet 6.0L Powerstroke Thermostat Housing R&D!

    If you follow our Ford Powerstroke 6.0L product line, you are aware of the high- and low-temperature thermostats we released last year. The high-temperature unit quickly became a customer favorite as a reliable way to improve engine operation, in-cabin heat, and fuel mileage. These benefits are particularly useful in the cold-weather months. Our low-temperature thermostat offers a lower recovery temperature compared to the factory unit, which can help keep coolant temperatures regulated during towing or when transporting heavy loads.

    During the release of the thermostats, we had numerous requests for a replacement housing. The factory housing is a casted piece, which isn't aesthetically pleasing, but it is easy to replace.

    Product Development

    Development began in a pretty simple fashion. We acquired an OEM housing and started capturing measurements so that we could reverse-engineer the piece.

    Mishimoto In-Line Oil Thermostat

    Mishimoto has been at the cutting edge of oil cooler technology for several years, and we continue to test and improve our product lineup. My personal favorite product line is our bundle of direct-fit oil cooler kits. These kits offer a completely bolt-on oil cooling system which includes mounting brackets, premade oil lines, an oil sandwich plate, large oil cooler, and application-specific mounting brackets. Along with this you receive the Mishimoto stamp of approval, acquired through rigorous testing and proven oil temperature drops. Now, you may be thinking that other companies are creating similar products. While true, most of these competitors are providing kits specific to one make or even one model vehicle. The Mishimoto product line is very broad, and includes various Subarus,
