Thread: The FWD Mishimoto Radiator

And WTF is that purple flower thing its sitting on? Your dress?

^Just a blanket on the couch

Dont poke me foo

First off let me say its a very nice looking product

BUT
To much money for a very unnecessary radiator. Just keep your nx rad and you'll be fine. I don't see why people spend so much money on these radiators. I run my turbo'ed car @ 18psi on a gti-r motor and it never goes over 205*in 90* weather and I mean thats me beating the ever living $hit out of it too! I also did it on my previous DE t25 motor running 15psi all summer long with a stock se-r ,which is even worst(5/8th's) at cooling and still did the job just fine!

The ONLY reason I see a need for a koyo or other aftermarket rad on a sentra is if your road racing and thats about it.

btw my 20 dollar nx rad is 1" thick.

Do you own an NX? It's a whole nother ballgame when it comes to cooling, just ask keo! I've been boosted for about a year now and using my NX rad I would start to run 220* on the freeway if I didnt keep a good distance away from the car in front of me. And I dont have cooling issues, I replaced my NX rad with a new one, bled the system properly had a proper mix of coolant and added a full bottle of purple ice. A part of it though I'm sure was my not-so-great fans, plus a bar and plate intercooler. That was on 10 PSI on a GTI-R T28. But I figure its better to overprepare now since I'm butting on a bigger turbo and doubling the boost this summer


And don't worry about my dress

Yeah, I am really just talking about the sentra i guess. I can see a upgrade for the nx because it has trouble cooling because of something with the nose or something and thats why they got the bigger radiator from the factory in the first place. Goodluck!

Aww man you shoulda posted up! Oh well no use crying over spilled milk. I hope I have my setup ready for dyno day this year

Yea no worries man life goes on. I actually have been emailing mishimoto about making this radiator for quite some time and they kept telling me they had no production planned and then all of a sudden I see your post. They didn't even send us a product release via email which they usually send them once a week so I found it quite interesting but am glad you found one. I do plan on posting them up for sale shortly here.

The rep. over at Mishimoto advised me that they plan on having silicon radiator hoses, fan shrouds and accessories to go along with the radiator as they already have with most of their other radiators available by mid summer which will be nice. I think the other only option for silicon rad. hoses are Samco and they don't fit right because of the GTIr's diameter on the coolant outlet.
