New Neukin Civic Radiator Improvement

New Neukin Civic Radiator Improvement

So ya the Neukin Civic Radiator and Fan was good before but after some thought they made it better. The old design used a aluminum stud and nut with some red loctite for those no worry moments. The New design from Neukin features a cool and yet simple aluminum stud and pin. The four mount points on the radiator bracket that hold the fan are all using this new design. This allows tooless removal and no loctite. Given you wont have to remove your fan often its just another cool feature of the never ending “make things better” mind set the guys at Neukin have.

Neukin Radiator Slim Fan Connectors

Neukin Radiator Slim Fan Connectors

It has been a few months since Neukin started doing this but thought it was worth a mention. Most slim fans come with a low quality set of terminals or electrical connectors. Then to boot these cheap connectors often have a loose silicone looking insulator keeping the electrical connection “safe”. The Neukin Radiator and slim fan features a slim fan that has been upgraded to higher standard connectors. The hard plastic insulator keeps the connections safe and worry free. They also included another male and female bullet connector so you can easily crimp to your wires and get going. The other slim fans out there usually dont do this, why i dont know… they must figure you have these wire connectors laying around your garage waiting for your new radiator and slim fan install. Nice to see Neukin attempting to make their product more complete.

New Mishimoto Radiator Cap

New Mishimoto Radiator Cap

Mishimoto has introduced a carbon fiber radiator cap. This is purely cosmetic and adds to the appearance of your engine bay and or radiator. The radiator cap looks to be made of real carbon fiber from the picture they put up on their site. The radiator cap would have to be purchased separately leaving you with a stock Mishimoto cap with nothing to do. I also just noticed the Mishimoto Radiator Cap looks like a old honda motorcycle design. Think its just like the radiator caps on the 82-83 VF750C V45 MAGNA, 83-84 VF750F V45 INTERCEPTOR or 82-83 VF750S SABRE.. could have been the stock design on other Honda Motorcycles. Im pretty sure its Honda radiator cap part number HONDA PART # 19045-MB0-003 from Denso. Anyways not to get off subject, another nice option from Mishimoto, part number MMRC-CF13S MSRP $40. The radiator cap is 19psi rather then the stockish 16psi cap. This will increase pressure in your radiator system thus lowing the boiling point of the radiator fluid. They didnt mention that in their product description.. not sure if they knew that.
