50 mm SkidNation MX-5 Performance Radiator – Black

Properly cooling our MX-5 under all conditions is a priority for all of us. Why not make your engine bay look cool at the same time? This all-black radiator with white SkidNation logo will make all of your friends jealous!

What thickness to choose? Is thicker better? Well, core dimensions are just part of the equation – in order to cool the circulating water, you also need air flow through it. And the thicker the core, the harder it is to push/pull air through it. This 50 mm core radiator is for demanding applications in heavily modified cars (boosted to well over 200 HP or for racing in very hot climate). For cars up to 200 HP, we recommend getting our 40 mm radiator, which works better at lower speeds and still provides great cooling capacity for street and track use.

With our black aluminium TIG welded performance radiator you not only gain more coolant volume (cooling capacity), but also improved reliability, better heat dissipation and higher efficiency. It features a two row 50 mm thick brazed core and comes with a 1.1 bar pressure cap to increase the boiling point by a little. A sturdy metal drain plug makes your coolant change easy. Aluminium construction also removes the risk of breaking or cracking of the plastic radiator parts, which is a common problem on stock radiators.

The radiator is a direct replacement with no mods needed. You can use the original cooling fans, or get our dual fan shroud for more cooling power.

The aluminium drain plug has a rubber seal, so it should be tightened by hand only to finger tight.

If you’d like to protect your engine even more by fixing the uneven cooling of the factory setup, check out our legendary coolant reroute kit as well.

Fits all Mk1 and Mk2/Mk2.5 Mazda MX-5 models with manual transmission.
