Default Koyo Racing vs Mishimoto vs Full Blown Radiators

I like to know how the Mishimoto radiators compare to the Koyo $ Full blown. Price is a major difference. Please tell me about your past experiences. Thanks

I have the Koyo Racing radiator with my PTuning kit + oil cooler. it did not come with a radiator cap. and during 100* weather and 50% humidity here in arkansas driving on the highway I see as low as 199 and city 205. stop and go traffic downtown it gets as high as 210. If FB had come out with their radiator before I bought mine I would deff had chosen it because from what I could tell the koyo and FB look about the same thickness and they both look bigger then the mishimoto (not sure on mishimoto sizes). OEM radiator looks wimpy compared to the Koyo!

running 99% distilled water and 1% Toyota concentrated anti freeze.

Keep in mind that mishimoto will replace your radiator for free, even if you crash it in a wreck.

Full Blow is a good option? Doesn't make sense to me that it is cheaper than Koyo. Blucky why would you change? Think it would run cooler if you have FB instead of Koyo?

Yeah, the FB looks alot like the koyo from what i've seen in pictures. I would change because the FB is cheaper. Just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it is better. I would bet money that the coolant temps would be almost the same if I swapped out my koyo for a FB.

Measured at the same place on each radiator.

What were your issues? I'm currently using one and it's been just fine. Best bang for your buck IMO.
