Description
Keeping your turbocharged Forester XT cool is essential to maintaining performance and reliability, whether you’re navigating rush-hour traffic or exploring winding back roads. The factory radiator can struggle to keep up with the heat generated by the 2. 5L turbo engine, especially under heavy loads or in warm weather. The Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator for the Subaru Forester XT is engineered to provide improved cooling efficiency and durability, ensuring your engine runs at its best in any driving situation.
Featuring a lightweight, dual-row core and 100% brazed aluminum construction, this radiator offers superior heat dissipation and greater pressure tolerance than the stock unit. The TIG-welded polished end tanks add strength and a refined appearance under the hood, while the direct OEM fit design means installation is quick and straightforward, with no cutting or modifications required.
With its combination of performance, durability, and easy fitment, the Mishimoto Subaru Forester XT Performance Aluminum Radiator is the ideal upgrade for drivers who want to keep their turbocharged engine cool and protected for years to come.
Note:
- This item is for Manual Transmission vehicles. For automatic applications, please purchase optional Mishimoto Universal Transmission Cooler Kit.
Caution
The provided Mishimoto two-way cap (six-sided design) should replace the stock cap located on the expansion tank. The Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator should utilize the included one-way cap (circular design with non-directional sticker).
It is the installer's responsibility to check all thermostat plugs, NPT plugs, line fittings, and other connections to assure they are fully tightened before operating the vehicle. Mishimoto recommends that you check all connections at regular intervals, especially during the first few miles after installation.
