Actually, the current radiator is sufficient for FI, except your are rebuilding the whole engine and boosting the car way beyond 500HP.

I have a C&R, its a little more pricey than the Koyo but it has a slimmer profile which is why I got it.

With a fmic do you not over heat even with the radiator mostly being blocked? I know on my eclipse when I put a fmic I started to overheat really bad.

I have a Koyo, but it honestly dosen't matter. The Mish. is very well constructed like the Koyo. Both will get the job done. I'd go with whatever one you can get cheaper.

Koyo, stock oem cap (older cap), 170 thermostat, ran hard for 20mins on a road course at 15psi gt35r... temps stayed in the 180's and fans never turned on til it got off the track. I say get the koyo and do it right. very light too. you'll be happy
