Mishimoto Installed

[94Pro-5.0]

and it was easy as pie. took me 1 hour 20 minutes, not rushing or anything. very straight forward install. Fit right into place, the shroud and fan fit with no problem and i have no clearance issues. the ONLY thing i had to do different was zip-tie my fan wires to the shroud to keep them away from the water pump pulley.

The radiator looks amazing too. the welds look great, and everything looks just like a fluidyne or other expensive brand. I love it and it was a steal for $225 shipped.

Looks almost three times the size.

Agreed, it looks good, hope the Fluidyne i ordered looks half as good.

 

[94Pro-5.0]

i would order this over the fluidyne, even if they were the same price. i have heard too many storys about the fluidynes

 

[95-stang]

It was simple really, no-one who stocked Mishimoto would ship to the UK, and the only guy who would build an exact fit alloy rad here for the 95 [he builds for Ferrari race cars etc] wanted £620 +vat. Thats about $1240 + another 17.5% on top of that.
I have my own radiator guy who repairs them etc for customers cars, so once i have one i can get it fixed if needed, i never realised the fluidynes were so bad.
Surely even a bucket of iced water would be a better replacement for the puny stocker.

How is your car running coolant wise? I know you had said you were having some cooling issues.

its working great. today it was in the mid 90's outside. I ran my AC and romped on the car quite a bit. never got over 210.

I was looking into getting one of these off of Ebay. I haven't been able to find anyone with feedback on them. This went in without any major modifications? I noticed they were a bit thicker than the stock radiators. Fits in there with the a/c condensor and everything ok? I'm in need of a new radiator, I just might have to snag one of these for the price!

I really like mine. I had to modify mine to fit cause my car has front end damage. But it does do a good job of cooling.

it fit with absolutely NO MODS! the only thing i had to do was zip-tie my fan harness to the shroud to keep the wires away from the pulleys. i have AC and everything, and had no problems whatsoever. i would recommend this radiator to everyone

i bought my car with a mishimoto installed. Seems to do just fine, but im considering pulling it out and selling it for a stock one. I've had nothing but problems with my cooling system since the day i bought it. I still can not figure out why my heat dont work.

if you have constant cooling problems and your heat doesnt work, i would check your thermostat, might be getting stuck.

What kind of bad things have you heard? I have had my Mishimoto radiator for a little over a year with no problems.

just poor quality and welds not so good

I need to get one of these. Although my stock rad isn't doing TOO bad. It was 95 the other day and with the AC on I was around 214. Hopefully one of these will drop my temps. Just waiting for paycheck.

So I live in Phoenix and the temps are starting to get pretty hot here now. However, my 100% stock cooling system is still working like a champ. The car runs ~212* on the freeway without the A/C on, and about 220* with the A/C. My car rules.

 

[95-stang]

Just fitted the Fluidyne, had to move a little wiring around, but it fitted fairly easy even with the aircon still in, temps appear to have dropped quite a bit.
