Happy Holidays everyone!

You may or may not recognize the name Mishimoto, so we would like to take the time to introduce ourselves! We are very pleased to be involved with this fantastic community and look forward to future product development for the Mini Cooper S! Our goal is to obtain feedback from the people that live and breathe these cars to develop awesome products that you guys want/need. If you have an idea or a need for component you would like to see us develop, feel free to shoot us a PM!

Here is some basic information about Mishimoto, and what we do here.



Traditionally speaking, we are well known as a company that manufactures aluminum radiators. This was the case early on in our history, however, the company has grown and branched out to a ton of new vehicles as well as a great deal of new product lines.

Our headquarters is located in New Castle, Delaware, which is where our engineers spend a substantial amount of time researching, developing, test fitting, and collecting data to create the absolute best products to take your vehicle to the next level. Despite our somewhat late introduction to the Mini world, one thing remains the same, and this is our enthusiasm and passion for your vehicles.

Now, more on our facility. Our engineers utilize a 27,000 sq. ft. garage coupled to a very modern office. These headquarters encompass our production, engineering, marketing, operations, and customer service teams! We have a full fabrication shop and utilize both a Dynojet and Dynapack for product testing. We will be posting a ton of images during product development, many of which will give you a look at the awesome space we are working with.







What’s the point of this thread?

Well, the first goal was to bring awareness to the fact that we are here and we intend to produce some really cool products for you guys. Please feel free to make recommendations!

We’ve been highlighting our R&D project development for various components for quite some time now, all of which can be found on our engineering blog. These are the types of articles/coverage you can expect from us on a very regular basis. Check out the link below!

With more projects to come, we will periodically be putting up product development threads, so be sure to keep an eye out.

Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!

 

Looks like a nice facility. I enjoyed reading your blog on the Mini Cooper Intake Testing.

Please keep us informed on progress. I am itching to purchase a few more mods for my JCW.

Thanks for the read! We will definitely be sure to keep everyone informed and updated on our progress for this and any other future project. Stay tuned!

 

I'd like to see camber plates, catless downpipe with flex joint, intercooler upgrades, oil coolers, exhaust options, blowoff/recirc valves, oil catch can, and probably other stuff that I'm forgetting :D

 

Welcome Mishimoto. Great to see you guys putting some weight behind the Mini market.

 

That's quite a list! We are grateful for the input, suggestions related to what everyone wants for their Mini is what we're all about.

Appreciate the kind words! We're excited to start our support in the market.

 

ive seen you guys on the mustang forums. traded my 15 cooper s for a 15 gt mustang. i had an mquebed catless downpipe with custom reso and muffler delete exhaust k&n filter and burger stage1 with ff connector running +7 psi boost with sticky front tires. never had a cel for downpipe you guys should check out mquebeds downpipe.

 

You guys make an excellent aluminum radiator and it's high on the list of things I'm planning for my Mini. The temps these little cars run I think it's one of the best upgrades you can make.

 

Thanks for the input!

Awesome feedback, much appreciated! We've definitely heard these cars can run a little hot before as well, so we're glad we have an aluminum radiator to help with that.

 

Wait you have am aluminum radiator for the F56?

 

We do not have one for the F56 yet, the radiator we have is for the R56. Sorry for the confusion, I should have specified that!
