I am putting a b18c into and ek and am looking for a quality radiator. Is anyone currently running a mishimoto radiator? Let me know good and bad.

 

also i am thinking about going with the mishimoto slim fan that is sold with the radiator...any comments?

 

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 got the mishi rad, getting the slim fan yet, im running samco hoses on mine. i've got a 92 hatch, gsr motor running a half rad

 

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?

 

I have not heard of any installation issues.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

 

ive heard of a few mishimoto rads leaking. ive had my koyo rad for yrs with no problems... but im running a mishimoto fan with no problems

 

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

 

only thing i have is the hoses are hard to get over. and my suppost doesn't fit quite as it should but beyond that its fine. need a new fan though.

 

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.

 

Next time, try WD-40.

 

i would get the mishi tho if not a koyo theyre both good radiators

 

I ordered the mishimoto radiator on ebay, got it and the slim fan for 225. When it comes i'll let you know how it works out. thanks for the help.

 

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
