Top quality product

Perfect straight fit (2005 RSX-S) all lined up correctly. Very strong welds. I expect this radiator to last longer than the rest of the car.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not the best

Good product. More accurate cooling system

Just what I needed. The machine runs more smoothly. Good product. More accurate cooling system. I recommend buying a fan switch and thermostat and a fan cover. Mishimoto is the perfect combination. 😁 πŸ‘Œ

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Weight

Good quality product

Excellent packaging, good performance, the engine lasts about 195 at cruise and about 179-183 at high rpm. Very tight fit compared to the original but it works with some elbow wiggle and lubrication. The highest temperature I saw while driving was 205. I recommend this radiator. RSX car 2002 with intercooler.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Thin

Fitted and works well on a 2004 Honda CR-V with automatic transmission

Although made for RSX I had to replace an old radiator due to damage and it was bent. I went with the Mischi Aluminum considering the price difference to replacing the OEM Denso it wasn't much different and I'm glad the difference is noticeable and the need to add a transmission cooler improves the driving and acceleration of the car has improved significantly.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • No automatic transmission

Amazing product and great replacement for the stock heatsink

Amazing product and great replacement for the stock heatsink. As with many RSX owners, my factory radiator cracked (on the top plastic piece) so switching to Mishimoto was a win-win scenario as an OEM radiator is incredibly expensive. Installation was pretty easy. I had some issues with a leak near the lower radiator hose but I fixed it and everything works fine.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Works great. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the fit isn't right. One of the fan's screw holes does not line up with the bottom of the case. The top mounts are also slightly offset, but they go in with little effort. The one to the tank is slightly higher than the one to the drain, but that doesn't matter much. Aside from those minor issues, this is a great OEM replacement.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Some bugs

Mishimoto does really good stuff. On the box was a very nice foam sleeve.

Mishimoto does really good things. The packaging was very nice foam covering every inch of it and the workmanship and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations. Every weld was consistent and even and it fitted very well. No hassles or changes required for anything. It is far superior to the series cooler in every respect. The only thing I don't like is that on my car it's completely covered by the bumper and you don't see its beauty haha. Really great product. I will buy Mishimoto again…

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • Almost never
