The CBRD is around $500 and the Mishimoto is around $240.

Mishimoto

I was looking at a Koyo Rad and someone convinced me to go with the Mishimoto instead and I was amazed at the Quality when I recieved it yesterday...... Like a Koyo but 200 or so less.

I would check out the comparo before you buy anything... Sorry, it's in the August 09 issue of Import Tuner.

How is like the Koyo? Does it cool as effectively? Just because something looks similar, doesn't mean that it works as well...

How about you visit there sites, or google it. Not to be an a$$, but a little work on your own behalf doesn't hurt.

I've got a PWR radiator (came with the car, not my choice of brand), but it fit just fine, and cools rather well.

The CBRD though, is hands-down, one of the best radiators. But then again, it requires abit more cake.

Our evo has a PWR, but it was on the car when we purchased it. No complaints!

Thanks,

Michael

PWR, Koyo, etc make great products..

I would not consider mishimoto to be in the same league....

we are pretty particular about how we design and execute ours.... our double pass is amazing, but we dont recommend it for street use.
