I've had a ZJ fan clutch in my XJ for about 10 years and it's been fine without any modifications. Somehow I got away with it fitting in mine with a Proliance Heatbuster radiator and then again when I switched that radiator out for a Mishimoto.
For the price of the APR intercooler, I got a full Mishimoto kit. Came with new charge pipes and everything. Went in the oem location and everything fit perfectly. Very happy with it.
I replaced the thermostat with a Mishimoto thermostat and vaccume filled the coolant. I did a 30 min test drive in the 95+ weather with the AC cranked. Never went past the 7th dot.
The Mishimoto mk3 aluminum radiator is pretty close to the weight of the OEM plastic end tanked radiator.
I have a Mishimoto race, and it's doing it's job really good.
Mishimoto tank is metal not plastic so it wont crack.
when installing it with the OEM rubber hangers, I had to persuade the radiator into place with some lag bolts. It definitely doesn't go in like the stock one; looks like the end tanks on the Mishimoto unit hit in several places, preventing it from seating exactly where the original goes.
They sent my friend a cap for a non-m car and it took him a while to figure out the leak was from the brand new cap.
especially NOT a mishimoto. that shit is junk and i speak from experience.
Stay away from Mishi. That is certified garbage juice.
