The best direct-fit high performance radiator for the MX5. Period.
High-demand cars such as turbocharged, supercharged, and racing applications need maximum cooling ability. For many years the next-step beyond the standard aluminum radiator upgrade was to move on to a custom multi-pass racing radiator. Those radiators packed massive cooling ability, but also come with massive price tags and are not direct-fit; required custom brackets, didn't fit with factory fans, and so on.
Our new Triple-Pass radiator is the first of its kind; a cross-flow, triple-pass configuration using racing radiator technology throughout that still drops in without any other modifications, and doesn't have the price tag that comes with "custom". Fits with the factory brackets, fans, and hoses.
Brian's Application Notes:
This project started after I lost a 2.5 liter motor in my 2006 to overheating. The motor didn't actually fail but got hot enough for piston ring tension to be seriously compromised with resulting loss of peak horsepower of nearly 20 percent...OUCH. We ended up rebuilding that motor with high compression pistons and I had learned my lesson on giving an upgraded NC as much cooling as available.
At about the same time we decided to push our supercharged 2.0 2007 to over 300 hp and found we needed more cooling in that NC than our current selection of radiators could provide. Thus, for those racing boosted 2.0 and 2.5 and those racing even normally aspirated 2.5 we suggest this is a critical insurance policy that saves you money in the long run! Works great in combo with our singular hood vents (which draw even more air through the radiator).
