Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or OEM Toyota
Reviews
I usually Autox and track my rx8. My last event it was 90 outside and after fueling and a run my temp was only 205. I do have an aluminum misimoto radiator
Pros: excellent cooling performance, low engine temperature
Vehicle:
Mazda
Replaced it with that exact same Mishimoto rad and have had zero issues with the fitment or durability for 10+ years and 60k miles later. I believe I saved ~$600 or so by not pursuing OEM replacement.
Pros: zero issues, good fitment, durable
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 60000 km
I got the mishi rad and racing thermo in mine for vegas. Love it, no issues thus far after 2 years.
Pros: no issues, durable
Vehicle:
Nissan
Later I came across a deal for a Mishimoto radiator and had that installed. I’ve had no issues with my Mishimoto, and I bought it before seeing most recommending the Koyo Radiator over Mishimoto.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
In my particular situation I went with the Mishimoto radiator. Idk why it gets so much flak. Had no issues with install and it has been great. Now I use my 8 for autox so I needed the extra cooling. I can say that last weeks event it was 89 degrees out and even after a 2 hour drive and fielding for 4 mins to make my run; my ect was 200.
Pros: no install issues, great performance, extra cooling
Vehicle:
Mazda
Shortly after owning it I had to replace radiator, Dan shroud. Then my power steering rack and CV died. Just recently my master break cylinder just died
Pros: love it
Cons: not a cheap car
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Mishimoto is okay but it's fucking massive and requires more disassembly of the front end of the car to stuff it in there.
Pros: acceptable performance
Cons: massive size, difficult installation
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
my Mishimoto leaked/falied apx 10-11 years after I bought it. and keep the receipt, or your lifetime warranty will not be valid
Cons: leaked/failed, warranty issues
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
I bought a mishi three weeks ago, it arrived a week later, leaking. Two weeks later, mishi gave me a new one for free. Guess what.. it’s leaking too, from the welds at the neck. I gave up and had my buddy seal it up good
Pros: free replacement
Cons: leaking, poor welds, multiple failures
I just got a Mishimoto radiator for my V35 couoe, it doesn't fit for shit.
Cons: poor fitment
Vehicle:
Infiniti
