Koyorad Performance Radiator: Mazda RX-8 1.3L MT 2004-2008

Koyo Performance Radiator – Mazda RX-8 SE3P 1.3L Rotary MT 2003–2008

Application: Mazda RX-8 | SE3P (4D Coupe) | 13B-MSP 1.3L Aspirated Rotary RWD | Manual Transmission Only

Part Number: V2695 / KV061615R

The RX-8's 13B-MSP Renesis rotary engine is a unique piece of engineering — high-revving, naturally aspirated, and with a thermal profile unlike any piston engine. The compact engine bay and specific clearance constraints mean a thicker core radiator simply isn't an option, which is exactly where Koyorad's 36mm V-Core Series steps in.

Engineered for applications where engine size or configuration limits core thickness, the V-Core 36mm delivers genuine performance cooling in a package that fits correctly and installs cleanly. It's designed for both circuit and daily use — keeping coolant temperatures stable whether you're chasing lap times or commuting. A direct bolt-in replacement that retains all OEM fan shroud mounts and stock hose connections, with no engine modifications required.

Every Koyorad All Aluminium Racing Radiator is Nocolok furnace brazed, precision TIG welded by hand, and triple pressure tested before leaving the factory.

Why Koyorad?

• Precise Tube & Fin Alignment — Strict quality control ensures optimal coolant flow and maximum heat transfer efficiency across the entire core.
• Nocolok Furnace Brazing — All tubes, fins, headers, and brackets are bonded in a state-of-the-art Nocolok furnace, creating a structure that resists vibration, road debris, and the elements.
• Billet Filler Neck — Precision-machined billet filler necks are fitted to every unit for superior strength, durability, and a reliable seal.
• OE-Specific Mounting — Application-specific mounting points for fan shrouds, inlet/outlet hoses, and top/bottom pins ensure a pain-free, no-modification install.
• Hand-Crafted Heliarc Welds — Each radiator is individually Heliarc welded by hand, creating the strongest possible aluminium-to-aluminium bond across all components.
