    Not suitable for spare parts

    This radiator does not fit directly. Brackets for mounting fans and a slot for installing a temperature sensor are missing. I'll send this back as we speak. Update the serial number even though Mishimoto and I were sold a heatsink for the 240z.

    Pros
    • Suitable for Honda Civic Si 2002-2005 with K20 engine
    Cons
    • Secret

    Good but not perfect for radiators

    Put one of these in my SI when the factory unit gave up 14 years/170k miles later (lame factory junk ;) ). Works well, fits fairly well, but I had to open up some holes in the fan covers to get them to fit properly. No other issues, keeps temperature where it should be in all operating conditions.

    Pros
    • All aluminum construction includes a high pressure radiator cap and magnetic drain plug
    Cons
    • No instructions
