Driving to the mall today and saw smoke coming out my hood and that lovely coolant smell. So I'm debating going between mishimoto or koyo heard good things about both but really only bad things about mishimoto. Personal experiences or recommendations for these two or any radiator are welcome.

 

Meh, I have the Mishimoto, and it works just fine. Only thing I had to do was throw out the cap that it comes with and replace it with a better one (their caps SUCK)

 

That's the one thing I've heard of mainly about them is the caps are ****. Does the oem cap fit on it?

 

I've got a koyo. I think it is worth the extra money now rather than to risk the cooling system...

 

Yep, but I got a killer deal on some "tuner" ones so I put them on. The Koyo are good too, but IMHO overpriced for what you get. They also don't make one for my car.

 

LIC have a baller radiator/oil cooler combo on their site but it ain't cheap

 

Yeah i dont have 2k for a radiator lol

 

I have had a Mishimoto on my car for a while. Works great. No leaks, even with their cap. You're welcome to it for a small fee if you wish as I'm still finishing my build and was considering upgrading to LIC's combo unit. Shoot me a pm if you wish mate! I was getting ready to list it in the classies. It is in excellent condition.

 

Ah its fine i found a brand new koyo race radiator for 300 with shipping and tax! Thank you though

 

I like my koyo. It's what I'll stick with. They make the OEM ones too. Contact snail about CSF? That's a brand they use in their cars.

 

There you go! Nice price too. Giterdun !

 

I got a Koyo from a local radiator shop. Can't complain.
just call 1-800 radiator, they'll bring one to you

 

The plug on the bottom is complete crap too.

 

Glad I didn't go with mishimoto then lol.

 

Get a Ron Davis unit if you have the funds.
