my radiator has a crack in it so need to get a new one.. 03sedan.
looked into Koyo, but they only supply for M/T.

The Mishimoto radiator says for A/T, but mounting points are 1/8th of an inch off for the A/T.

Anyone know any other ones available..

 

What makes you say that a Koyo won't work for an A/T, is it because it doesn't have a built in tranny cooler? When I do upgrade my radiator, it will be the G specific Koyo that recently came out and I'll just get a tranny cooler too (I have a A/T).

 

If ita because of the tranny cooler, just buy a transmission cooler and route the lines to that instead. A fin cooler is more efficient than than the cooler in the radiator anyway.

 

+1

Although, KOYO does make a replacement radiator that fits AT with a trans cooler built in - its stock size though.

In cold weather the radiator trans cooler actually helps the transmission fluid get up to operating temperature faster as well. One of the reasons for the design. Keep that in mind if it gets cold where you are.

 

If you have a 2003.0, you have the clutch fan so you might want to consider doing an efan conversion while you're at it. The aftermarket radiators are thicker than OEM IIRC and it will be close to the clutch fan. Might be dooable but something you want to look into before...again, this is 2003.0 (doggy door) specific

 

+1 thats true, but if you have a mechanical fan you should swap to electric any time, not just right now

 

^lol...very true! On the "need" to do list

 

I have the G specific Mishimoto radiator which has an integrated tranny cooler.

 

That's true. In daily driver type of vehicles I use to do an aftermarket cooler in series with the radiator cooler. But on summer only types of "toy" vehicles, aftermarket only.

 

mm thanks for the info,,,

the e-fan conversion sounds like a good idea,, no idea on how to go about it though....

 

Buy yourself some FLEX-A-LITE FLX-220 dual electric fans and then PM me. I say Flex-a-lite because thats what I went with. There are other options out there, but I don't know what the AMP ratings are on them.
