Engine radiator VALEO or MISHIMOTO

Replaced with a mishimoto and never looked back...

I replaced it with the mishimoto radiator and new hoses too. much better for my 2004 Subaru outback

this Mishimoto unit had a VR6 attached to it!

I’ve got Mishimoto’s X-Line radiator. It’s an absolute beast of a rad. I’ve had mine for 7 years of daily driving and track days, and I’ve had zero problems with it. I fully expect it to last for the life of my M3.

Not everyone has great things to say about Mishimoto rads, but from what I can tell their X-Line rads are built very well.

my mishimoto looks in really good shape with some pretty decent welds imo.

Mishimoto has been working great for me.

I blew my stock one around 60,000km, then the STI replacement around 100,000km. Fixed the issue with a Mishimoto aluminum rad.

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.

Two months ago I installed a Mishimoto radiator. Now im consistently mid 190's, temp goes to 205 regularly, and then fans come on and cools back down.

I have a mishimoto radiator and it never gets up to operating temperature, so the engine runs too cold (really bad). I had to put in an air dam to get it to warm up in 15 minutes.
