Mishimoto radiator redesign is in......FAILURE

[te72]

At this point, people need to be made full aware of the issue with mishimoto. If that hurts their business, that's their fault. I've offered my time, suggestions, consultations, and to take my car down and use it as a test vehicle so long as I was able to oversee EVERYTHING. I was denied in most of these offers and its their own damn fault.

I see your point Te, and I agree, but at this point I'm just determined to get it right. I don't want other people to run into this. Add in the fact I don't have money to throw around on yet another radiator, I get replacements for free in the mean time until they get it right.

It's good that you're not just sweeping this under the rug. If they do manage to get it right, and do right by YOU, then that should also go in this thread, along with a possible title edit, in the interest of fairness. Hopefully they get their design sorted sooner than later!

You're welcome!

I actually went to the trouble of doing some drawings taking pics and sending PWR a stock Rad for a pattern, Mishi might benefit from this approach as they seem "willing" to work with the customers on this.

Once again, thanks! Although, mine is more of a giant heat sink in warmer ambient temps because of my choice of a fan... not so much of a problem at higher altitudes and cooler temps, so I've lived with it. Will be remedying the fan situation soon.

Knock on wood, so far, while my shroud is toast, the radiator is still intact, no impact. Shroudless of course.

I have an 89 T with Mishimoto radiator, it's been working great for a while now. No fitment issues.

+1, first rev of the mishi moto, on a early 89, no fitment issue, and plenty of space between the fan and the rad.
