Radiators
Anyone here use Mishimoto dual core radiators? Not looking to break the bank. Any budget friendly recommendations would be appreciated

I'm running a Mishi radiator and it's been great at keeping the temps below 220 on a hot day at the road course.
The install was easy and painless too. I have zero complaints.

My engine oil gets hot before the radiator when I'm driving hard. I heard Mishimoto makes a great upgraded oil cooler. That's what I'd recommend. My new AC Delco OEM radiator does a good job of keeping temperature s low. I've also replaced water pump, radiator and fan.

A number of guys have used Champion radiator. They will even customize things, which is why I was looking at them. If I ever go to a bigger turbo, I will have to relocate the upper hose.

I put a Mishimoto in mine. I had to massage it to make it fit properly. But it looks good. Hopefully it lasts.

Just installed mine today. Everything went very smooth surprisingly. So far so good. Coolant temp hasn't gotten over 210 but I also haven't been beating on it.
