Radiator: CSF or Mishimoto?

Both manufacturers products are made in China, but who you chose as the production partner means a lot I suppose. I ended up installing the Mishimoto a month or so

I ended up installing the Mishimoto a month or so ago and track tested it, so far so good. The welds were clean, perhaps not the prettiest but then aluminum is difficult to weld. Water temperatures on track were lower and it held up under pressure which is all I cared about.

If I wanted the best I would go with PWR/Nismo (Australia) or GTM (outsourced to US producer), but these options are at least double the price and a lot harder to install, so maybe down the road if budget allows. Doran uses the PWR/Nismo unit.

Our radiators are not manufactured in China, and we do not have an external production partner. We own and operate our own facotories. All of the R&D is done in-house, and we also have many OE clients around the world...

Just wanted to clear-up any misunderstandings people have about CSF.

I stand corrected, thanks for the clarification.

Can you tell us where the CSF radiators are manufactured?
