I've heard both good things about Mishimoto and GodSpeed radiators (civic, del sol half length-rad). They are priced very similarly and I will be needing a half size radiator (will be custom mounted in my DC2).

I am about to overhaul the car's exterior...(JDM front end - repaint entire car) & I will not have enough funds to afford a $300-500 name brand (PWR, Koyo, etc) one.

My OE full radiator still works although, I need more room in the bay so that I could fit a slimfan for my A/C condenser. Anyways, which is a better pick?

i hear good things all the time about the mishimoto radiators.

 

Thank you for your feedback

 

I have the mishi. Very nice piece.

 

Pretty sure every alum rad on ebay is made in the same factory so really i dont think it matters which you go with I have used a few different ones and they were identical to each other.

 

This one is great.. and has B series size hoses.

I am on a Mishi radiator. No issues with it whatsoever for the past year, it looks like a quality piece.

 

im pretty sure that tunerzimage guy that has the mishimoto rad is a sponsor on here, he sells em in the sponsor forums. you should prolly just get it that way.

 

Mishimoto FTW. contact Hybridperformance 877-408-7282 ask for doug they are awesome

Forgot to add I have that ebay one. Also know another person with one. They look identical to the godspeed and mishimoto ones. I doubt they are different.

 

i have the godspeed one, i love it

 

Not a rad, but my cousin has a mishimoto intercooler that looks to be of excellent quality and fit perfectly, so I'll atleast give a to their quality of work.

 

I have a Godspeed, I would have bought a Mishimoto but they didn't accept Paypal. I'll probably try a Mishi next time. Mishimoto looks like better quality.

 

I truly appreciate everyone's input!


Ended up purchasing a Mishimoto unit from Doug @ Hybridperformance
Stand up guy -- Placed my order today and gave me a tracking # a few hours later!!

 

me and my dad used godspeed on our cars, we loved them.

 

Mishimoto it lowered my operating temp 17degrees

 

i put in a godspeed for my bro, and it works great. i just had to trim part of the a/c fan shroud with a dremel to clear a/c lines.

 

i am running a mishimoto radiator half size on my integra. no issues so far, i ve had no expierence with the god speed but sounds like what ever one you go with you wont be disappointed.

 

got a godspeed last week, radiator cap is no good it leaked on me, put on a greddy cap and seems fine so far, my shop seems to like the radiator

 

I really like my Mishi, i bought it on ebay for $74 i believe. I must say it keeps the engine alot cooler then my old integra radiator (just a stocker).



liam

 

$74? Wow insane price. Brand new price?


I wish I would have found it for that price!!

 

i got a mishimto for my civic and it keeps my engine kool all time

They used to be super cheap, but when their popularity increased, so did the prices.
