Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or Denso

I went front mount on a DD that gets occasional track use. Huge benefit and reduction in heat soak. Needed to upgrade my radiator to a mishimoto 3 core to help keep temps down during track days. Overall happy with the upgrade, but not required until you start pushing big power.

Front tie bar, sometimes called a traction bar. Sharpens up the steering response, reduces torque steer significantly and in my case, reduced NVH

I’ve also personally had good luck with mishimoto.

Mishimoto makes a really good aluminum replacement, highly recommend

He Bought a denso. Took all of 30 mins to install.

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 recently did a timing belt job on my is300 and now the car feels weird. I replaced oe denso radiator. The first startup was very rough. After some tinkering with the car by letting it idle for a while, reving it slightly, the car seems to be alright with no check engine light or any missfire codes. However I do feel like the engine vibrates just ever so slightly more than it used to. A barely noticeable difference but I feel like something is not right. The car now also has weird cold starts. The engine only revs up to a 1000rpm and then goes down from there, where it usually would rev up to 1500-1800rpm on cold starts.

I have a mishimoto one and the Fitment is god awful would have gone with csf or koyorad if I did it again

I have Mishmoto ( dont recommend) on my 2016 wrx in Arizona at 110 days w the Ac on it runs at 190-197 on the streets. While on the freeway its at 215 avg while cruising at 80mph. Been on my car since 2017 I think. But this was before CSF and whatnot came around. Can’t wait to save up and switch.

Bought it for my coyote swapped F100 and there was a hole in it from the start. Rewelded the whole thing because wasn’t worth the return when I can just do it myself. Welds just looked like someone just started child labor and it was their first day on the job. Wouldn’t buy one again if I had too.
