Just curious if anyone is aware of high performance radiator options that are available? I started comparing the part numbers between the GE8 MT, GE8 AT, and CRZ and see that they're close but there's minor differences dimensionally; couldn't find anything specifically made for the GE8 MT from Koyo, C&R, or Mishimoto. Has anyone swapped in a different unit or "universal" one, and to what effect?

 

I used a no name off ebay in both my Jeep and my FIT(GD) and my Polaris Quad. So far only minor differences in some fittings, once unit had a leak out of the box, the supplier replaced it in < 4 days. They had a ral high positive feedback rating and wanted to keep it that way..

YMMV. I know mine cools WAY WAY better than the stock one. Pics in my head gasket thread.

 

Yeah, I checked them out but unfortunately they don't make anything for GE8 Fits. Kind of annoyed here at the lack of options on some things...

 

I am using the CRZ MT Koyorad on my AT honda fit everything bolts up except 1 mount on each of the fans and its pretty easy to solve. I made two simple brackets to solve the problem other than that its an amazing radiator. my temps never go above 203F at the track with my supercharger on.

Nice! I was looking for an aftermarket option. Good to know this works well. Thanks Noxm09!

 

Now we're talkin'! This is why I wanted to post this question. Noxm09, out of curiosity what fans are you running? I have a 5MT GE8, but I figure the CRZ MT Koyo radiator would be an equivalently positive fit.

 

I am using the OEM fans all you gotta do is make two brackets to make it work with the oem fans.

 

the GD radiator, might work on the newer cars, it just has the hose connected filler neck, because they didn't put a hole in the core support on the GD.. Worth a look..

 

by any chance you have pictures of the brackets? thank you in advance.
