Mimo USA radiator sold by Mazsport?
I was looking on Mazsport's site and saw a Mimo USA radiator for just over $300.
Anyone tried this? Im wondering how it is compared to the Koyo? http://www.mazsport.net/store/index....t_detail&p=137 |
wow, didn't see it until now
300$???? |
Yeah from the pictures the quality of the welds look pretty nice.
I wonder what the dimensions are compared to the Koyo unit. Maybe Scott will see this and chime in for us... |
it says generic image, so the radiator pictured may not be what we get.
if the radiator has a cap on it, then that means we can get rid of our overflow reservoir? I'd love to chuck that ugly bottle out. |
Charles, Why does the market only need one choice?
|
I am thinking of being the tester on this one.
|
I made a thread in Mazsport area and asked Scott to come :)
|
well its like 1/2 the price of Ray's
so I don't think its the same quality at all and I really dont wanna try to test it out radiator is like life and death for a car you know..........any cay overheating is definitly bad bad bad and our shittyass temp gauge doesn't help |
I can't see it.......but then again I never do
I need spacers though :D and I don't think thats even the pic of the real stuff on their website |
Dont Worry Ray, your Radiator is still on my *To get list* even I already have Koyo, Just waiting for my budget surplus to come .... hohohohohoho ~~~ no Im not talking about the check from Bush. :)
|
well see Ray
Mimo can give a shit about us you, on the other hand, are our ownage supplier of parts so that my car is still f'ing intact |
well anyone got 300$ + 5000$ to spare if someshit goes bad?
|
its the vernacular of our generation.

BOTH OF YOU , EASY and Taj ! SHUT UP ! :P
in the mean time, we just wait till Scott speaks :) |

hmm i might be ordering this to try.
|
idk, it looks no better than the Koyo Radiator
I still think Ray's is much larger, hence better cooling capacity? |

I was looking up the specs on the Koyo rad for the RX-8, at least as much as they are willing to publish, and I can now brag that the BHR rad is a whopping 1/16" thicker core than the Koyo.:lol2: Core thickness isn't the point, anyway.;)
Damn I have been watching too much Are you smarter than a 5th grader lately ... Anyway, ITS THE AIRFLOW !!!! Correct ? :lol: :lol: :lol: |

I saw rays Rad for the first time in person saturday LOOKED AWESOME SOOO SHINEY. who cares if it cools or not |
i wonder... why don't we just have a water spraying solution for our radiator? won't be hard to keep a water tank topped off. (or convert the stock windwhield wiper tank for it)
|
what? who cares if the radiator does 0 cooling, the engine can just heat and die for all I care
as long as it's blingy thats why I'm doing an aluminum-foilover to my radiator! |

Yep, but I wasn't quizzing anyone so don't expect fame and prizes.:lol2: If you look at the different offerings out there you'll see we all deal with airflow from different perspectives. Mine deals with it at the radiator, itself, while MM, Racing Beat, Mazsport, and maybe others too, all deal with it by turning on the fans sooner. The problem with turning on the fans sooner as an antidote is that those approaches don't improve upon the factory radiator's greatest weakness but only offer a "Band-Aid" solution, especially when in hotter climates or upping the heat potential of your engine. I can tell you that Pettit and MM both had heat issues with their Koyo rads and those issues went away when they swapped their factory rads back in. I may soon send Pettit a rad to play with as a professional courtesy, one vendor to another, but I need to update their fitment for the front-mount turbo kits before I do. Actually, now that I think about it I may have one they could have fun with right now............
Band aids are for things that can eventually fix themselves. Great job as always Charles! |

i know that some drifters have these custom made water nozzels attached to their radiators. They press a button and a mist of water will be applied to the radiator, which in turn induce massive cooling.
the biggest problem drifters have is running wide open for 45sec, then immediately ideling a few minutes for the next round with no cooldown run (no airflow to remove heat except radiator fans)... then repeating 2 or more times. Heat soak sucks... |
