It’s now got an 85°c Mishimoto thermostat. Took it out today and got it up to temp and did multiple 0-85mph pulls. The new thermostat opens at 85°C/185°F. Under load the coolant never registered above 197°F!!!!
Mishimoto has a great thermostat plus it has a lifetime warranty
No issues for years on mine. Turbocharged with a coolant reroute at 250whp. Had their products in my civic and diesel trucks in the past and had no complaints. Going on 10 years with their stuff.
Currently have one in a 97 for about 3 years, I don’t drive the car super hard so there’s no problems at all.
No issues with my mishimoto radiator in my 04 MSM. Kept the stock fans, however.
I think theyre decent.
For the same price, I would get the mishimoto, but my Amazon OEM style radiator was $75 and my only complaint is the unused transmission cooler bungs which aren’t needed on a manual.
I have a mishimoto one and the Fitment is god awful would have gone with csf or koyorad if I did it again
I put the mishimoto 160* in hot water to test it out. Lo and behold, wax started seeping out.
I had 2 fail back to back. The first lasted 3 months, a couple thousand miles, the 2nd lasted 5 weeks, also a couple thousand miles. Left me stranded. 275 degree spike followed by coolant puking.
