Koyo Performance Radiator - Mazda MX-5 (NB8C) MT
Koyorad builds its Hyper V-Core radiators to cope with the heat load that Australian tracks, mountain roads and summer traffic throw at a factory cooling system. Fitted to the Mazda MX-5, this 36mm core unit is a direct upgrade over the stock radiator, using Nocolok furnace brazing, hand Heliarc welding and a billet filler neck for a stronger, more heat resistant core than OEM. SKU VH060650.
This listing covers the Mazda MX-5 NB8C with manual transmission only, spanning 1.8L aspirated and turbo petrol variants from 1998 to 2005, including the SE and SP turbo models.
Note: Some NB models fitted with air conditioning at the port of entry may require minor adjustment of the condenser mounts to clear this radiator.
