subject: Mishimoto Radiators [print this page] Mishimoto radiators are premier radiators that are an upgrade from original OEM radiators. These aftermarket radiators offer lightweight and high performances for those who are dedicated racers. Mishimoto radiators are made to reduce the heat that builds in areas, and with the 100% brazed aluminum outer, excellence is guaranteed. These types of radiators are made for any turbo charged, super charged or nitrous engine on the road. It is recommended that if you decide to use a Mishimoto radiator, you use their brand of silicone hose kit and aluminum fan shroud as well for a guaranteed fit. Mishimoto radiators are guaranteed to eliminate heat almost 25% better than any OEM radiator. With billet aluminum fill neck, like no other radiator; this one will not break with pressure. Special brass fittings ensure no leaks, and all radiators are pressure tested at least twice before leaving.
The Mishimoto radiators are made for many makes and models of vehicles including but not limited to: Dodge, Acura, BMW, Hyundai, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Scion, Ford, Infiniti and even Lexus. Any time you decide to use an aftermarket setup in your vehicle, you should always replace the radiator. Along with more horsepower comes more heat from the working engine, and therefore your radiator needs to be able to handle the heat produced effectively. If your car is ran hard for work or play, an aluminum radiator such as a Mishimoto radiator should be used. Without a good radiator, there will be a decrease in your cars performance and more maintenance required.
Mishimoto radiators are available with radiator fans as accessories. These are ideal for those upgrading to an aftermarket setup, because with more heat comes more problems. If you have a better performing Mishimoto radiator, you want to keep it cool with Mishimoto radiator fans. Factory fans are acceptable, but sometimes do not work hard enough to keep the area cool. Looking at welds on Mishimoto radiators, you will see these are unlike all other radiators. These radiators offer some of the best aftermarket craftsmanship available. There is a major outpouring of bad craftsmanship that allows leaking from the outlet to the overflow reservoir in many radiators. Mishimoto radiators use special fittings to require their radiators to never leak.
It is important to use the fitting information to get the right fit for your make and model of vehicle. Measure your radiator from one end to the other with a tape measure for the length. Measure from the front to the back of the radiator for the width, and make sure to note how many hose housings you have on the upper and lower area of your radiator. This is important to note, as not all models of Mishimoto radiators are universal and will fit any vehicle. You must get the correct corresponding Mishimoto radiator that fits your vehicle, according to factory settings and not the current radiator in the vehicle. There are instances where aftermarket radiators are installed, and consumers will use these measurements for their replacement. This is not correct, you should always use the radiator recommended by the manufacturer of Mishimoto radiators.
