Mishimoto Radiator installed - Page 2

I was told and not sure how accurate it is. The larger aluminum radiator will help hold operating temp more consist. And allow a faster cool down after hard runs. Even though I have a 160 thermostat, I only see a temp drop on the highway during cruising.

pics or ban.

I am switching to Samco hoses next week. I have heard of silicone hoses leaking....I hope they don't. I've had good luck with the stockers.

I got my Radiator yesterday, it's very shiny, light and looks good but mine seems to be defected, if you look at the pics below, you can see how the fins and the whole side bends to one side, the difference when checking between top and bottom is about 0.5", so I wont even try to put it on my car, and instead wait for the replacement.

I don't know how drunk the welder was at the time of putting this one together, but it's just insane, I'll give it one more try and wait for the new one.

so it was built out of square? call them up, cause that is a major defect if it's not suppost to be like that.

***bbong*** · 05-23-2008, 07:22 PM

Yup, already taken care of, getting a new one.

I think its a great idea especially if you track your car and for the summer. I just did a Koyo I was gonna do it earlier for my stg 2 , but i just added it when I got my DOM 3 on and re tune.. My car has been running cooler not sure if its just me.... Its a real nice piece.. The Mishimoto is different? Or same thing?

Here is a pic

The koyo looks good, if mine wasn't defected I'd be installing it now, will definitely get the picture posted once installed.
