Mishimoto half radiator VS full size for daily driven car.
Will the half size handle the temp in warm countries or should I go full size?

 

As long as you have good airflow through the radiator, you won't have any issues with a half sized.

 

its 2025. dont buy mishimoto

 

I already own the half size - the car still in build process
Basically I'm worried about the hot days and being stuck in traffic.
The airflow is fine but there is also a AC radiator in front. I have an option to replace my half radiator with a full size one. I can tell that I like the extra room inside the engine bay but keeping the fluid temp is more important

 

Mitsubishi designed these cars with one of the best cooling systems in a production car. Why people go to half rads or forward facing setups on street cars less then 1200whp I have no clue.
Stable cooling system is always a plus!
With that being said a stock Radiator or a PWR work really well.

 

whats the reasoning for the half size?

if its space, CSF does have a slim radiator that frees up space. Unless you are FF

 

A FF turbo was the actual reason.
Now I Moved it back to oem style mount. The free space is awesome but the cooling is more important for me

 

Gotta be true. I put a OEM Denso rad in with OEM blue coolant 2 years ago. Fan controller doesn't work and have never seen the gauge move above normal. I've read that 9 heads run cooler than 8s also.
