Owner reviews for engine radiator

The radiator you could go OEM or NVA, but Koyorad is proven solid also.

Radiators aren\u2019t supposed to leak. I have the same Koyo radiator in my NA Z, just put it in this past summer. I def do not have that leak.

For your turbo Baja, [Koyorad](https://ebay.us/m/yadARd) is the creme de la creme.

8th gen civics will run forever. I replaced my radiator (2011) late last year for around the same price. The mechanic showed me the old radiator and it had several holes in it. Car is still running strong a year later.

You should absolutely fix, but $900 is steep from the quoter. Buy a quality rad (denso, nissens) and have it installed by a competent mechanic for $300 max.

I like my Mishimoto one. But I have an Auto, and the only one they had for the Baja didn't have the cooler built in, so I had to run an external trans cooler. But it all went easy, even with that. Electric fans and catch tank bolted right up no problem

Personally I’d be buying a koyo in full aluminum.

I just installed this Denso 7 years ago, won't pay for that again.

My car had about 500 miles on it when the radiator sprung a leak. I complained to KIA. They wouldn't cover it. My comprehensive insurance covered it.

My first new car was an ‘82 Toyota Celica. I put 3 radiators on that car within 10 years. The OEM radiator had a copper core and plastic tanks, held onto the core with a crimped clamp all around. I don’t think that they paid much attention to expansion rates and coefficients of expansion of different materials when they designed these, and the seals would eventually give out and begin leaking.
