As far as Mizu vs. Mishimoto goes, has anyone seen those Mizu parts?! Totally insane! Every single on of their radiators and fan shrouds are hand-welded, and don't even get me started on the silicone hoses. i can't believe they're the same price, or even cheaper than Mishimoto.
I agree with others, either keep the stock, or go with a prestigious company, not some knock-off copy cat junk.

I seriously don't think this fan Shroud kit will lower anything.
in fact, I think its the other way around ---- might increase the working temp.
This fan shroud kit comes with the shroud itself and 2-12" Slim fans ---- and each flows ONLY 933.5 cfm ~~~~~~~~
So I dont know man. if Im you nuke0907 I think I will take it back out and demand a refund.

Yea. One thing I forgot to mention is that the higher CFM's a fan is the more stress they put on the alternator actually making your engine work harder.
I would just stick with stock stuff. If your going to upgrade make sure its not pulling on another resource.
The mazmart water pump is actually designed to flow faster and free up the stress on the engine. Which is why its a highly revered product.
Simple fact is if most people aren't running ti it most likely doesn't do ****.

You're missing the fact that the airflow is not limited by the fans, it's limited by the blocking effect of the airbox and battery behind them.
Make sure your undertray is intact, without it, air will exit around the radiator rather than through it. For the same price as the new useless shrouds, you can buy a kit from RX8Performance that will turn on the fans at lower temperatures (or you can do it with a Cobb Accessport at much higher cost).

Here is a picture of it next to my new setup.

The Mizu shroud is nice, the fans suck, one of mine burnt up in less than a year. I went with a FAL dual fan shroud and it is working awesome, I should have bought one years ago.

Oh, and I know a couple of guys running without undertrays here in Texas and they don't have cooling issues, even when pushing hard in this insane weather. I'm not saying an under tray is not needed but it's not as important for cooling as people make it out to be.
