Key Benefits
  • Two-row, 1.65-inch thick efficient brazed aluminium core provides ideal fluid temperature reduction — engineered for the turbocharged Forester XT on the street, track, and rallycross course.
  • Increased fluid capacity and superior heat dissipation over the factory unit give the Forester XT more thermal headroom during repeated heat cycles.
  • Two 1.3 bar high-pressure caps, two-way expansion tank cap, one-way radiator cap, and Magnetic Drain Plug included — a complete cooling system install with no missing hardware.
  • Full aluminium construction with TIG-welded end tanks eliminates the failure-prone stock plastic end-tank radiator that cracks under boost pressure and heat cycling.
  • Two-row brazed aluminium core with 1.65-inch thickness efficiently moves heat into the airstream, sustaining stable outlet temperatures during back-to-back runs.
  • Confirmed direct fit for the 2004–2008 Subaru Forester XT — no cutting, fabricating, or adapter work required.
  • Handles the cooling demands of stock and modified Forester XT builds, including stage-tuned and high-boost setups running street, track, or rallycross duty.
  • Own it for life — backed by Mishimoto's Lifetime Warranty, your investment is protected long after install day.

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 Aluminium 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 aluminium 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 Aluminium Radiator is the ideal upgrade for drivers who want to keep their turbocharged engine cool and protected for years to come.
