i wouldnt buy it, chances are there is a reason its so cheap. if your radiator goes out i would just find one at a junkyard, you dont need a high flow radiator if youre running a pretty stock motor.

your going to get like every single person say the exact same thing. DONT BUY FROM EGAY. dont do it man. your going to choose the cheaper Route and the Regret it later. save up, and get the more Expensive Brand. dont deal with Egay. the trouble/ shipping. isn't worth it.
And . Do you Really need a high Flow Rad??? just like that guy said. unless ur Motor is some Frankenstein Swap(Quoted from someone on HT) u dont need anything other then the Stock Rad.

Re: (MujetDereh)
mishimoto rads are one of the best values out there, i got one for my integra when my stock one went out. cools way mroe efficiently, with only one of the fans on it

Re: (nate_2k5)
by the way, my car is turbod. turbo is oil and watercooled. which is why i am looking for a new radiator. since my car seems to be running hotter.
plus its thicker, i have a modine OEM replacement and only single core. its onl 108 bucks... better then the koyo OEM replacement.

Mashimoto is a good brand but like he said you dont really need it for a stock motor.

and what do you do when the junkyard radiator goes out? why anyone would want to replace a crappy oem radiator that's known for falling apart with another one is beyond me. i'm sure that "crappy ebay radiator" will last longer than an oem one. me and my bro both have radiatorbarn.com all-metal radiators that we bought for $140 shipped ea and both are holding up just fine.

^^Similar testimony here, $85 all-metal radiator from some ebay vendor and no problems after 75K miles. Used OEM radiators have plastic tanks and are just waiting to fail.

Re: ebay all aluminum radiator (Sam92Teg)
i think i'll pick up the one for 108 bucks. let u know how it goes when i get it. its all aluminum, can't see how it would fail seeing how simple the thing is.
not sure if i would need to buy another slimfan... seeing how im running a drag kit. i think i would need to pick up a fan.

Re: ebay all aluminum radiator (00IntegrAllmotoR)
i have a mishimoto in my 97 integra, without any fans it runs a little warmer then stick with fans obviously but if i were to put a fan on there it would run the same, definately the best for the price.

Re: ebay all aluminum radiator (Deluzional)
cause its 20 degrees outside during the day, and i dont have a fan at this moment because you need to buy a different fan to fit that radiator the stock ones dont work, so when it gets a little warmer i will buya fan to fit, and i dont havent run it hard since ive gotten the radiator, mostly due to weather and slick roads so im drivin like a grandma right now, trust me ill be getting a fan.

Re: ebay all aluminum radiator (integrajake)
which reminds me, i went on mishimotos website, and i was lookin at there fan prices and sizes i didnt buy a fan from them when i got my radiator cause they didnt even have them yet, anyways they have 9" 10" 12" which one should a get? i mean is the obvious answer 12" cause its just bigger and throws around more air?
