My stock radiator just went out. It's leaking at where the plastic and metal joins right beneathe the radiator cap. No cracks that I can locate , just know that it oozes out when I start the car. Been looking around for a new radiator and can't find one straight answer.

Anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for something affordable, I no longer care about performance, just drivability.

What radiator should I buy? Will it reuse my stock fans? Any help or input is appreciated. Thanks.

 

CBRD makes a great evo radiator http://www.cbrdspeedfactory.com/CBRD...ution-8-9.aspx

 

That's a bit out of my price range and needs. Any other reliable choice
for lower?

 

Just buy a new stock radiator then.

The mishimoto's are hit and miss it seems. Some people have had great luck wit them...others haven't. OEM or Koyo would be cheaper than CBRD's.

 

i have koyo evo 4,5,6 radiator i think i paid 250-300 for it ets sells one and youll need a slim fan ets also sells that for 60

 

I have the same radiator and I must say I have really liked it since I bought it.

 

I have a Mishimoto, no hiccups on it since the 3 years I had it, make sure to get the radiator that can fit the straight top hose instead of the standard route on the stock radiators, just so that the hose don't heat up as bad.

 

I have an OEM radiator sitting in my garage from my Evo 8...

 

Get ourself an OEM replacement or OEM comparable replacement...I replaced my evo 8 rad with aftermarket oem replacement for less than $100. Still going strong after 2+ years...all I needed to do was enlarge the two holes the stock fan slides into at the bottom... took a few minutes with a larger drill bit...DONE.
