Overview

Not a plastic-tank replacement, this Mishimoto radiator pairs a brazed aluminum core with TIG-welded aluminum end tanks. A pressure cap is supplied, and the radiator drops in without modification.

Mishimoto says the stock radiator's plastic tanks are prone to cracking, and this unit adds coolant capacity for hard driving. The fit list is narrow, and the dimensions in the listing look unreliable.

Who it's for

Owners of the listed Subarus who drive hard, track the car or want a longer-life cooling core. Owners of other Subarus have no listed support.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Welded end tanks
  • Higher pressure cap included
  • Complete bolt-in design
Cons
  • Narrow vehicle range
  • Listed dimensions look unreliable
  • Core thickness not stated

Performance notes

Aluminum conducts heat quickly and tolerates higher pressure, and the high-pressure cap raises the coolant's boiling point. Greater coolant capacity helps hold safe temperatures under sustained hard driving.
