mishimoto is a large company that makes a ton of parts for a lot of different cars........ theres a lot of complaints in other communities. theres more then likely not even enough feedback here or theres such a lack of interest that they said forget it. not sure what the deal is but thats definately in the playing cards...

its the same reason we havent released a radiator for the car. no ones going to pay for it. the mishi stuff is the best of the cheap stuff but theres far superior. the stock does a great job and the plastic stands the test of time and stocker does its job wel.

Agreed. I made the same comment in the other mishimoto thread that Cuda has up.

Mishimoto is telling us they will ship to us late this month. We began working on this project with them over a year ago!! Thank you guys again for your patience.

Omiotek - these are being made, and they will be better than the stock OEM radiators. Aluminum has been proven over and over to be a better dissipater of heat.

Im not familiar with the problems encountered on other forums, but we can tell you that we have definitely had a good experience selling their line of radiators for the Neon, and Neon SRT4. I have a a Mishimoto radiator on my Neon SRT4 and it works fine.

I would agree that aluminum is great at dissipating heat. Have you guys taken a look under a Cobalt SS/TC hood and you'll see that its all aluminum stock. No plastic end tanks or anything. So what makes mishimotos that much better? I'd like to see some benchmarking done before you guys make such claims, not use a whole other platform(Neon SRT-4) to say "its a great radiator". I can name off a bunch of S2000's, 240sx,300zx, 3000GT, GTi friends that have used this radiator as well. 4 of the 5 have seen leaks, cracks. As a shop, look into Koyo's.

its not all aluminum stock........ plastic sides. i think you have the radiator and ac condensor confused

when you have testing against the stock radiator in terms of actual cooler on a race track and a ton of street use then let me know.

ron davis did a one off aluminum radiator for an lsj delta awhile back and it didnt make much of a difference other then looking prettier. ron davis radiators will out perform mishimoto any day of the week.

Radiator is the rear

Understand......them pics are clearly in a kappa not a cobalt. They do not use the same radiator. I have a 09 lnf cobalt on the rack with no engine or sub frame in it. Can take pics of the radiator if you want. Plastic end tanks in the cobalt.

yes sir but its easily confused. i know your not dumb so i didnt think you got it confused but the ac condensor in the cobalt is decently visable and its 100% all aluminum. where as the radiator ir kind of hidden by a bunch of stuff lol. hense why people get it confused all the time.

Mishimoto

Hey guys,

I would like to apologize to everyone for the delay in the release of this radiator. We really enjoyed working with Modern Performance on this project and I can confirm that we will be sending a shipment to them by the end of the month.

I can assure you that there will be no disappointments in the quality or performance of our Cobalt radiator. Feel free to shoot any questions/concerns my way.

Thanks

In the Cobalt, the radiator is also in the rear.

This is incorrect. It's an aluminum radiator, but it's got a plastic fan shroud that mounts to it, so maybe that's what you're seeing.

Or you can get one if you put a jack through your stock one like me.

Stock cobalt radiator indeed has plastic end tanks. I should know.

Stamina

Okay. Perhaps I'm "misremembering" then from when we had it out during the engine swap.

Ok guys, we've gotten confirmation of the Mishimoto radiators finally shipping out to us!

So, we're hoping to have these by late next week. More details to come!
