Is there any benefits for swapping out the radiator in the front of the car

I signed up for the car sponsors thing and there was a company called Mishimoto and they have universal performance aluminum radiators. is it even worth it to get it or should i pass on it.

and i always wondered i know the radiator is on top when you pop open the hood, but is it the same radiator that is near the bottom towards the black pastic area? is that one big piece or are the two radiators or is it something else?

nevermind i figured out the radiator question, it is one big 16" radiator, but is it still worth it to change it out for an aftermarket one?

I dont see any real advantage to getting it..

Do you know what a radiator does? I assume so...

Unless your engine is running hot, i think its just overkill... If you were cranking it higher with one of those slush puppy things, maybe it would have a use, but just stock... I think your money is probably best spent elsewhere...

my .02 and remember, im not an engine guy.

mishimoto radiators and intercoolers are top of the line sh*t bro. if you have the hook up on one hook yourself up because it'll be lighter and much more effective than factory.

i was thinking about doing it actually, im not sure though i want some more knowledge on it, i know that there is an altima that is sponsored by them and they have an intercooler for their turbo'd altima

if i were to do this how much of an performance increase would i see, if any at all?

i also noticed that it looks like there are two radiators, one in front of the other, does it mean that there is two, or is that how the one radiator is set up?

and the owner of misimoto took my ride for a test drive just after the turbo install was complete and was blown away at how smooth and responsive the car was.
