This project is pretty slow-going, huh?

We've got quite a few projects that we are working on at the moment, but I can assure you that we are making progress on this! I should hopefully be able to give you a more thorough update in the not too distant future.

Hey everyone, get yourselves ready for some imminent updates! May or may not have some upcoming info on the pre-sale, so I wouldn't discount this thread if I were you! (hint, hint)

I have a strange feeling your trying to tell us something. I just don't know what...

[Mishimoto]

Hey all,

Just wanted to bump the thread and let you know that pre-sale is imminent! More info VERY soon.

Also... just to prime you for some actual photos that I'll post this week at the pre-sale start, I thought I might share some renderings of how the tank will look.

Check 'em out:

Overflowing with Style – 2013+ Subaru BRZ / Toyota FR-S Overflow Tank Pre-Sale



Hello everyone, and welcome to the long-awaited second chapter in the saga of the Mishimoto BRZ expansion tank! I know it’s been a little while since our first update, and you all have waited patiently, so I am excited to share some good news about these BRZ parts (or FR-S parts).

Check out Mishimoto’s 2013+ BRZ Expansion Tank Commercial Thread for Pre-Sale Info

You might remember from my last update that the stock, ghostly-looking overflow tank that haunts the engine bay of your BRZ, GT86, or FR-S really spooked us. So much so, in fact, that we felt obligated to provide you with an alternative – a way to absolve the BRZ of negative energy and transform your engine bay into something inspiring, rather than terrifying.


The stock BRZ expansion tank is a horrifying sight!

Though Halloween may be approaching and ghosts or monsters seem to be appearing everywhere (even around our office), we at Mishimoto don’t think that anything so scary looking should ever be in your engine bay. That’s why we’ve decided to begin the pre-sale for the Mishimoto BRZ expansion tank today, during the week leading up to the spookiest day of the year.


Rendering our Replacement BRZ Parts

We went through several iterations of this design to ensure that it fits your car perfectly, which is why it has been a little while since our last update. We had some adjustments to make along the way, but once we were crystal clear on all of our final dimensions, our drafting team mocked up the final product in their rendering suite.

These Mishimoto BRZ parts will include a sight tube to check levels.

Another side view of these FR-S parts, and check out that sight tube.

Pretty darn nice, right? The tank bolts tightly up to the stock location on the side of the fan shroud, and it will work with the stock fan shroud or the Mishimoto BRZ fan shroud.


It’s ALIVE!!!!

Renders are well and good, but the final product is what really counts. Our engineers knew they could work their magic to rid the BRZ and FR-S of this plastic demon, and I am happy to share with you the fruits of their labor: a heavenly-looking, all-aluminum example of aesthetic enlightenment, designed to exorcise your BRZ of the stock plastic tank that struck fear and disgust into even the bravest of souls.

Here it is in its polished aluminum finish.

And for those of you who are going for a darker, subtler, perhaps, more sinister vibe, we are offering the tank in black as well.

Coming Soon

Next up, we’ll have some final installed shots so that you can see just how much of a difference these awesome BRZ parts make in the appearance of your engine bay.

Thanks for reading, and happy Halloween!

I received the new Aluminum Coolant Overflow Tank from Mishimoto tonight! Man this thing is pretty! If you have ever seen my engine bay you'd understand why I can gets so excited about such a simple part. The OEM overflow tank is so out of place in my engine bay...it will only get worse as the white plastic yellows over time. Cant wait to install it!

Hey Zeal86!

I'm glad you like the tank! It's going to look great in your engine bay. Gardiner showed me some photos of your work, very impressive.

Thanks again!

Ok... so I finally got around to installing my Mishimoto aluminum coolant overflow tank. The install wasn't as straight up as I had hoped but that was because of my HKS GT supercharger v3 install. I'm sure on a NA FR-S/BRZ the install would have been cake. I had to remove a few things in order to get it in. In the end it was totally worth it.

Fitment was on point! Quality was great! More bling in my engine bay is what I wanted... Mission accomplished!

Better pics coming soon!
