Mishimoto oem replacement is cheap dependable and lifetime warranty.
Pros: cheap, dependable, lifetime warranty
I bought the mishimoto rad and it works well, the main benefit to the mishimoto is that they have a no questions asked lifetime guarantee. I had to replace it after a year due to a leak and mishimoto replaced it completely free with very good customer service. So the rads might not be as good as CSF but my dealings with the company have been very positive.
Pros: lifetime guarantee, good customer service
Cons: not as good as CSF
I went front mount on a DD that gets occasional track use. Huge benefit and reduction in heat soak. Needed to upgrade my radiator to a mishimoto 3 core to help keep temps down during track days. Overall happy with the upgrade, but not required until you start pushing big power.
Pros: reduction in heat soak
Cons: radiator upgrade needed
Definitely try a new Radiator cap. Mishimoto can be hit or miss for quality and also possibly not rated to match the pressures of the OEM cap.
Cons: hit or miss quality
The crap-tastic mishimoto MMRAD-E36-92 that I use these days do come with a lifetime warranty and I send them photos of the leak and they just send me a replacement in a week or so. I have purchased 6 of them and replaced 2 under warranty. The "Z3" raditator won't fit as its too thick, but the Z3 IS and e36 so its confusing.
Pros: lifetime warranty, easy replacement
Cons: crap-tastic, pinhole leaks, poor welds, Z3 fitment issues
Vehicle:
BMW
Part number: MMRAD-E36-92
Don't touch Mishimoto fans. THEY ARE SO BAD!!! And horrible fitment.
Cons: very bad, horrible fitment
Vehicle:
Mazda
Get that mishimoto garbage out of there and put a new oem thermostat in there. Unless you really lile pulling the engine out, to replace coolant seals and rusted rotors...
Cons: poor quality, causes damage
please remove the mishimoto thermostat they fail a lot, it happened to me as well.
Cons: frequent failures
Même souci sur 350Z
Le thermostat Mishimoto s'ouvre à 82° au lieu de 68°/ la réponse du constructeur → du moment ou la température reste stable !!!!!!!!!
Je suis énormément déçu de cette réponse surtout au prix et frais de douanes que cela comporte.
Cons: s'ouvre à mauvaise température, déçu de la réponse, frais de douanes
Vehicle:
Nissan
