Mishimoto rad

zexhuffer · April 4th, 2010, 09:45 PM

Well after being a little scared about putting something that reads "mishimito" in my stang i took the jump and have been very happy with it.

After hooking up a novi 2000 and putting 450 to the wheels last fall the rad held its on without a drop leak or sweat. Plan to put another 100+ to the wheels and even after running for hours in bumper to bumper traffic i never hit anything over 190.

Awesome rad and will probably be getting the mishimoto intercooler if i go with that plan.

THanks for the review, I was wondering if they were a good brand.

Ooohh! when will that be?

tfofkyle · April 17th, 2010, 05:37 PM

im seriously considering one for my 96, but a lot of sn95 guys complain about them cracking. guess ill take the chance though considering their no questions asked return policy.

I was happy with mine as well. I don't know if the OP has a pic of it installed but I do.
Granted.. the fan was not or shroud was not put back on yet, but you get the point.

I finally ordered and installed the mishimoto radiator for my 96 gt. Install was straightforward and I didnt have to buy new rad mounts or modify anything. It was a snug fit, especially because my rad mount was bent by a careless towing job, but everything went in with some patience. So far its been a few weeks and everything seems perfect. Temp sits between O and R in Normal now instead of between A and L while cruising. Fan still kicks on in stop n go, but I attribute that to my uncoated longtubes heat soaking my engine bay. Eventually ill either wrap my headers or install coated ones but so far very happy with my investment.

Know anything about the the oil cooling systems they make? Do you use any of them?

I used a Mishimoto radiator with my old S2000. Their radiator caps are usually trash but their radiators are amazing. Almost every S2000 with a Mishimoto radiator needed a new rad cap. I would use them in my Mustang in a heartbeat as long as I use a different rad cap
