Default Mishimoto Radiator Caps

Since the radiator caps that come with the mishimoto radiator appear to be defective, what aftermarket radiator cap fits this radiator?

OEM and OEM type caps do NOT fit

J's Racing Type S does fit (but I can't find anyone with it in stock, special order only? Anyone want to sell me one? )


So...what else fits?

i got an email from mishimoto not too long ago about a carbon fiber dress up cap for the radiator. looked pretty cool. check out their website, maybe?

just go to any sponsors website that sells accessory parts like this and get the aftermarket radiator size. most companies that make them make an oem size and and aftermarket radiator size.

you should be able to pick the aftermarket one. i have the cusco...but they're all the same really. spend $30 or spend $60...neither is going to be better then the other as long as you buy from a reputable brand.

evasive has a bunch to choose from. i got mine from inline 4.

The caps apparently are hit or miss. Radiators are perfectly fine. Nearly ever thread I've read suggests to get an aftermarket rad cap and call it a day.

Yeah, just get the larger cap. Not the smaller OEM size one.
Most companies make both sizes.
