I have the mishimoto slim fan and radiator. i have had no problems with them at all. IMO they are one of the best radiators out there. my only recommendation is to get the mishimoto hoses with them cus it was kinda hard to fit the OEM hoses onto the mishi radiator

I've read that some people have had trouble with the installation of the radiator (aftermarket parts never fit the same as oem parts). Has anyone had any installation problems?

Re: mishimoto radiator question
i love my mishimoto radiatior, holds alot more coolant than stock ek rad and looks good. there was alil bit of a fitment issue though, i had to bend the radiator support up to fit the radiator but other than that its a good radiator.

i had no fitment issue on mine just that one of the corners of the radiator was pusshing into the frame of the car i had to put tape and there so the frame of the car didnt cut into the radiator

Nope. Mine fit just like OEM. I'm running a universal slim fan converted to push instead of pull. It freed up a ton of space in the engine bay.

Re: mishimoto radiator question
I have one in my eg with OEM fan. It worked great while i had the B20/vtec in the car. drove to vegas and back in 120* weather and kept the engine cool. now that im back to the d16, it keeps the car too cool, and doesnt get to full operating temp durring cold nights. but if thats a complaint, its a good one... haha
