Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator
For 1983–1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 Trueno / Levin and 1984–1987 U.S.-Market Corolla Sport AE86 with Manual Transmission
Overview
The Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator is a direct-fit cooling upgrade for the Toyota AE86, designed to replace the factory radiator with a lightweight, all-aluminum two-row cooling system.
Its 2.05-inch-thick brazed aluminum core and TIG-welded construction provide increased cooling capacity for street-driven, restored, modified, and motorsport-oriented AE86 builds.
Choose the Radiator Only configuration or upgrade to the Radiator + Dual Fan Shroud Kit, which adds a vehicle-specific aluminum shroud and two 12-inch electric fans for increased airflow through the radiator core.

Cooling System Design
The aluminum radiator provides a larger, more performance-oriented cooling core than a conventional stock-style radiator while retaining vehicle-specific mounting for the AE86.
The optional fan shroud surrounds the radiator core and uses two slim electric fans to actively draw air through the radiator. This configuration is especially useful for vehicles that see extended idling, stop-and-go driving, drifting, autocross, track use, or other situations where natural airflow through the radiator is reduced.

Choose Koyorad if you have a 4A-GE AE86 and prioritize application-specific fitment, OEM fan-shroud mounting, and an integrated temperature-sensor port.
Choose Mishimoto if you want the best overall value, an included radiator cap, lifetime warranty, or fitment for a supported 4A-C application.
Our Recommendation: For a 4A-GE AE86, Koyorad is the more application-focused choice. For value and included features, Mishimoto is the stronger option.
