Buy it now as spares

Loe this radiator, the car runs much cooler with it in combination with a racing thermostat. Will buy again if I ever build a car again

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I will add it later

Great cooler in parts

This mishimoto was perfect for my e46. Installation went smoothly, perfect OEM replacement. Hope it lasts a lifetime.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Upgradable

Garbage. Don't buy this!

None of the attachment points fit. When installed, it protrudes beyond the valve cover of the engine. And the upper hose connection was leaking. Also had to replace the header tank plate for $40 because I was trying to put a radiator in the car. And I don't get my money back.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some cons

It doesn't leak or fit well and Mishimoto doesn't endorse their products.

The radiator seems to be very solidly made, with good welds, but the bracket in the car didn't fit. It seems like it was too thick and the attachment points weren't aligned very well. I put it in the car anyway, but as soon as I started the car it started leaking from both the intake and exhaust ports. I took it out and put in a regular Auto Zone radiator and the leaks stopped. I emailed Mishimoto and we emailed back and forth to find out why the leak happened. They couldn't figure out why itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • There are defects

Good radiator Good investment Recommend

I don't know how to judge the "warmth" of a radiator? It's also a great heatsink. 4 stars for installation. The reason is that the radiator and expansion tank (Mishimoto) took some time to align properly and they fitted together very tightly. The landing is very tight, but not quite perfect. However, this can vary from tank to tank. The problem is with the expansion tank rather than the radiator. But 4 stars for value for money because it's one of the most expensive radiators on the market andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
