Mishimoto radiator fin design VS

[silverbullet]

I am seeing if anyone here has had data or experience on running Mishimoto radiators vs a Koyo or more established company. I know they make crap intercoolers, and it could very well be the case for radiators, however I do not have access to one in real life, nor can i tell from looking at product pictures.

Any input?

The guys I know that have used them still had the same cooling issues after install.
a few switched to "real" radiators and things got better.

Basically, their radiators are just as good as their intercoolers. I'd spend a bit more money and go elsewhere.

alright. Thats pretty much the answer I was looking for.

I picked a Mishimoto up cheap to run with my LS swap. I don't have ac but its never let me down even at drift events in July. I think its more about the fans and shrouds. I didn't go with the smaller 12" fans, I've got a 19" fan for the main one and a smaller 12" for auxiliary. The bigger one covers the radiator from top to bottom and about 2/3 rds across with the 12"er just having enough room to take care of the other 1/3'd.

I think its more about the fans and shrouds.

It's both: the flow rate of the air going through the fins, and the heat transfer coefficient of the fins.

Had a koyo with altima fans on the drag car and temps would be 220 after a pass, put the mishimoto on with same fans and it went down to 185 after a pass. Held up good also with 60 psi of boost going to it also lol. Don't know how it would hold up in a road race.
