Mishimoto Radiator install
#21
i also have a mishimoto installed on mine. i have installation pictures in my build thread somewhere along with the fans. unfortunately the fit was not good, a mounting point on the bottom had to be bent to get it in accordingly with the mishimoto fans. my radiator cap also failed, so i went with a spoon cap. i got a little of dripping from the bottom where my sensor mounted since i didnt have any teflon wrap handy, that was a pain because then i had to pull a quick switcharoo while coolant was already in there. havent had any problems after the install, cools great. i also used honda type 2, type 1 was already phased out in my area

I actually had to dremel down my fan shround a bit to make it fit into where the radiator holds it. Other then that, perfect fit.
May get kind of tight however depending on your current set up.

Also flush out the the new radiator with a hose before you put it in. I washed a large lump of lint out of the one I put on my Prelude. It looked like while they were polishing it, the buffer wheel made a few passes over the lower hose connection and shaved off a bunch of buffing pad and polishing compound. That crap would definately stopped up the heater core or maybe clogged the water pump.
