does the mishimoto have a bleed screw?  that would make it less messy
     you fill the system slowly to the top,  then start car with bleeder open.  air should make its way out and when coolant only comes out of the bleeder you should be ok.  do this with the heater on.   If you do not have a bleeder it will be more difficult, you will probably have to take the top hose off the rad and stick it back on when air stops coming out...messy, like I said.  Having the car on a slope or ramps with the front elevated usually helps
