Mr.Squeeze

How big is the PWR radiator ?



I am not sure of the capacity difference but the Mishimoto is 40MM vs 30MM for the CSF ,and you can clearly see the size difference in the two.

Big. But like I said, took a lot of work to make it fit.

Im really shocked that Mishimoto made something better than CSF.

I went with CSF radiator because i was 90% sure that GTM fans will work with it (I wanted to go with GTM radiator but they didnt have it in stock at that time)

If radiator didnt cool the engine down then dont blame it on radiator, this car was not designed for boost so there is no air duct to engine as much as factory boosted car.

You cant really depend on radiator and throw it away if it didnt work out. you have to upgrade hood, bumper, hoses, fans, settings, etc.

In my case the radiator just didn't have quick enough recovery in getting the temps back down so it was thrown away. Now upgrading the fans vent the hood will help, its still doesn't change the face that the CSF is to small. Once you start getting up there in higher boost levels it just cant keep up. Your combo of the CSF with the GTM fans should get better results than I had though. Once my bleeder screw crossed threaded I was done with it.

If anyone wants a used CSF radiator for cheap send me a pm.

Now this is from a SC standpoint which has a smaller intercooler.
Going from the OEM to CSF I saw a good drop in temp after pushing it and recovering, but the CSF is a bit small. It looks to be a solid upgrade for N/A track car, but throwing in boost and high rev driving I think it will fall short. Now new fans, hood, etc might bring it up against others but being smaller will keep it falling short.

I'm looking forward to your results and impressions of the CSF rad/GTM fan combo now that you've told us it fits. That may be my next purchase. If it works well in your climate, it'll be fine anywhere.

I have the mishimoto radiator and it's awesome. Keeps the car cool in the hot n humid Miami. Yesterday had fun with an old school m5 and stayed cool after multiple high and long boost runs

Getting my re-tune this Friday and one of the main settings we are adjusting the fan speed, finally. Been looking over different options, considering Texas heat I found 2 very good options, thoughts on which to go with?

Option 1:


Option 2:
