I replaced my 2010 factory Calsonic with a Kyorad 2807, there were lots of favorable comments on thenewx forum. 18 months later, still going.
Owner reviews for engine radiator
In my 3.5 years I have replaced radiator (likely from an idiotic coolant flush, not a standard problem), IAC valve, blower moter resistor, PWS hoses, starter, and replaced rotors/calipers/pads.
And don't put the oem radiator in (it sucks). A mishimoto is 2/3 the price, will last longer (it's not made of plastic at the top -- that's why the oem ones fail) and it will actually keep your engine a little cooler.
I had read about people having good luck with the Kyorad brand so that's what I bought.
I just got a new Denso radiator off of rock auto for a Tacoma. It didn't look much better than this. Had a hole in the box from shipping. Installed. Hasn't leaked at all.
On my Miata with the factory flawed OEM coolant routing, I run a Koyorad 36mm aluminum radiator with OEM fans and it keeps temps a bit cooler than stock.
I own one.
Critical service items are: Aux belt and tensioner, transmission fluid change, AWD fluid service. These are outside of normal service items.Too, the timing belt.
I’ve replaced the radiator for a small leak. It’s been a good solid car.
I have already found that I need to upgrade the radiator, install oil pressure and temperature gauges, I'm considering the cylinder 4 cooling mod, and I am swapping out the oil pan and pick up tube.
The one I had before was Spectra Premium but it cracked after a few years.
I got done years ago for a polished aluminium radiator in a 1985 4th gen Celica.
