Sadly and unfortunately, Mitsubishi has obsoleted the production of radiators for the 2g manual transmission 4g63 power plant. I am not sure if that's the same case for the rest of the models, but JNZ confirmed me this a few minutes ago. Now, where the hell am I supposed to get an OE quality radiator? :(
I tried RockAuto, but they have a unit called 'Spectra Premium', anyone ever have experience with these?
Someone told me that the original manufacturer for the OEM unit was Koyo, true?
 
I've used several Specta Premium radiators and have never had any failures. The fitment is often a little off, but never to the point of having to return it.

Yes, the OE radiator is made by Koyo.
 
I would look into Mishimoto or Koyo. I beleive you can find a direct bolt-on/ replacement. That will work with OEM fans and shrouds. Try scearching the topic.

Here is one I just looked at seems easy and cheap enough. One other thing when removing the fans/old radiator take them out as one buy just removing the brackets makes it pretty easy to pull out. Remove fans after out of car. Good Luck

I was originally trying to go back to oem cooling.
I currently have a Mizu with eBay fans and cooling is a problem.
The Mizu unit is a tad thicker than the oem one and puts the fans closer to the manifold area.
I will probably contact Koyo, maybe they can help me out.
 
I have an OEM factory99 GSX radiator in a box in the attic that I could list on the classifieds.
