Hey guys, So I recently sprung a leaking rad. its leaking right out of the top were the plastic meets the aluminum. My question is what brand does everyone recommend? I am hurting for cash so does anyone run the mishimoto radiator? and how does it hold up? I daily drive my evo and on the occasion go to the strip. will the mishimoto hold up good?

I run mishimoto--great as far as I am concerned. Good price , good quality has held up well ove the last 4 yrs, a couple of track days, never saw a temp issue. I would and have recommended it in the past.

I just put one in my evo a month ago, it was an ebay unit made by cxracing, it was a full aluminum, the radiator fit better than the stock on. Highly recommend it and it was cheap. The seller was etdmotors.

I hear about constant problems with Mishimoto rads leaking and having terrible and sometimes no welds in important spots. I'm going with a Koyo, I don't see it worth taking risks and wasting money possibly buying more than one, get what's proven.

Mishimoto for a year and a half now. Daily driven and regularly autocrossed. No leaks or issues with the rad. HOWEVER, the cap leaked from day 1 and was replaced with a greddy that I already had laying around.

I purchased a NEW oem style radiator for less than $100 and FREE Shipping.

I've had it for 2 years now and zero problems.

I had a Mishimoto for over 2 years of dd, autox, and track, and never had issues. Only reason I swapped it out was for the CBRD slim rad.

I've been running a koyorad radiator for a little over a year and a half with no issues. Definitely recommend it.

Im not hurting to the point i have to go with a used rad but i cant afford like a CBRD rad for 600$ thats all i was saying. I ended up going with the Mishimoto. they are local to me and they have a lifetime warranty.
