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.
