Need A New Radiator For My 2g 420a

[bo0st]

Unfortunately it looks like I have a radiator leak/ hole somewhere, some Auto zone products helped it out for a while but I think getting a new radiator would be best.

I've been trying to look on eBay & Google (everywhere else too) for Mishimoto radiator's for a Non-turbo 1998 Eclipse (420a - automatic transmission)

I found this on their site:

Mitsubishi Eclipse Performance Aluminum Radiator 1995-1999 Turbo, by Mishimoto

But at the bottom it says:

Note: Turbo Applications Only

Note: This item is for Manual Transmission vehicles. For automatic applications, please purchase optional Mishimoto transmission cooler (P/N: MMTC-U)

Does Mishimoto make radiators for 420a automatic vehicles or should I go with another vendor, and if so who's the best?

AfaIk there aren't many manufacturers of aluminium radiators for 420a powered Eclipses. It'll be even harder to find an automatic radiator.

Try radiatorbarn.com. They stock all types of rads OEM and race.

It'll be even harder to find an automatic radiator.

I thought all radiators came with the ATF Fluid cooler and it was up to you if you wanted to use it if you have a manual or auto transmission.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

1-800-RADIATOR will get a new one to your door within 60 minutes, at probably the best price you'll find.

Wow I was looking for convenient but really 60 minutes? Anyone ever used them before when purchasing a 420a automatic Aluminum Radiator?

The Dodge Neon 95-99 Mishimoto radiator might work. You might need to change the hoses a little to get a nice fit.

It says it fits engines with the codes A588 and 420A. Since 2G's have the 420A, it should work. Take a look.

Dont buy it right away though! Research it a little more.

I know Fluidyne at one point in time made a direct fit radiator for 2G 420A Eclipses. They are hard to find, though.

Thanks for the advice but I'm looking for something that will surely work without a lot of modifications & stuff, IE - probably the exact same radiator I have now or a very very similar one.

This appears to be a metal one? Mine I'm currently running is mostly Aluminum with some plastic on the top I believe so I'm not sure if this will be a good replacement??

 

[PurpleHazel]

Murray/ Four Seasons part no. 432505 is your OE replacement. You should be able to get this through your local Advance, O'Reilly, etc., for under $200.

 

[F8LGSX]

The majority of aftermarket radiators such as, Fluidyne, Koyo,Mishimoto and Mizu are made for M/T. It's hard to find for A/T unless you want to replace it with OEM.

 

[Fotowntalon]

ask anyone, the radiatorbarn one I linked is far superior to the stocker and should suit you fine until you get into some really heavy mods

I'm going turbo or nitrous soon + I'm in AZ (110+ degree temps).

Don't you think an aluninum would be best?

 

[Fotowntalon]

I can tell you I love my radiator from there and have heard nothing but good things, but I don't know enough about turboing the 420a to give you that much advice on it.

Thanks yeah the turbo and or nitrous setup will be ready very soon so I think I need an aluminum decent one, not anything too high performance I'm not going to make 400whp anytime soon maybe just in the 200s

Any credible members know where I can get An Aluminum 420a automatic radiator?

 

[Boostinsideways]

You could make 200 whp with just nitrous, or just a turbo. You don't need both. Your not going to find a direct fit all aluminum radiator for a 420a DSM. Your best bet is a Manual Trans radiator, and an external tranmission cooler.

You can get a universal external transmission cooler at Advance Auto for less than 40$.

Yes I know this, my plans is nitrous first then add a good Turbo setup later once I have enough funds.

Just bought a new radiator from Autozone for $105 so hopefully this little Spectrum premium will last me a while any1 here bought one of these before?

 

[ryanjayx]

I know this is a month later, but I JUST purchased a Spectra Radiator, however, next time you should look at RockAuto.com first, instead of AutoZone. I payed 82.xx to get the same exact radiator shipped to me.

 

[JusMX141]

...and the same rad (Spectra) at the parts store where I work is $68 walk-in price, next-day availability. Did you even try to shop around your local parts stores?

rockauto.com. Bought mine with a thermostat and shipping $88
