Performance Aluminum Radiator, fits Mazda NC MX-5 Miata (Manual) 2006-2015

Mazda designed the NC Miata for the utilization of all 170 equipped horsepower. This budget sports car's idea is to show the automotive world that you don't need 1,000 horsepower and enough torque to shift the earth off its axis to have fun behind the wheel. Let's be honest, in most situations, you can really only use a fraction of that power unless you're at the track or drag strip. On the other hand, you can use all the Miata's available power and still have your driver's license at the end of the day.

However, a car designed to live at the limit will be more prone to cooling issues. Our new radiator design is tailor-made to ensure that your NC can keep its cool, even when it's running at the limit.

It's true what they say, failing to plan is planning to fail, especially when it comes to pushing your vehicle to the limits. As we covered in the first post, the MX-5 Miata is designed for being pushed to the ragged edge, and driving so close to a vehicle's limit requires some preparation. Surely, Mazda put some extensive engineering behind the Miata's cooling system, but even still, it can have some trouble keeping up once you put the hammer down. When it comes to our radiator design, we plan to improve the NC's endurance.

Our plan is straightforward and parallels the sports car formula's simplicity that makes the Miata so successful. We start by ditching the plastic end tanks. This means of

When it comes to sports cars, sometimes the real joy doesn't come from a monstrous motor with oodles of power, but rather something small and nimble. A car that lets you utilize every horsepower and push it to the absolute limit. The NC MX-5 Miata defines that category. Sure, it might only have 170 hp, but you can use every single one, and effectively too. Thanks to its double-wishbone front and multilink rear suspension setups, the NC is more than capable of transporting you to the ragged edge with the wind in your hair and a grin on your face matching the Miata's front fascia.

But, there's always a downside, and in the case of the NC Miata, it comes as heat. Like any car, the Miata was designed to be driven. The spirit of the Miata lends itself to being driven hard, which makes it even more likely to experience high temperatures. Luckily, we here at Mishimoto are hard at work devising a better means of coolant temperature regulation.

The Europeans have dominated the hot-hatchback market for decades. In fact, the term "hot hatchback" was coined to describe Volkswagen's Mk1 Golf GTI, which was responsible for the leadup to the hot-hatch fever throughout Europe and Asia. Just about every manufacturer began producing hatchbacks with stiff suspensions and a few extra horses under the hood. Even our very own Ford produced cars like the Escort Cosworth, and previous generations of the Focus ST and RS, but then left us here in the States, out to dry, when it came to having fun in a sub-compact. That was up until Mazda had their say.

Our idle warmup provided a nice baseline test to evaluate the benefit of the stock liquid-to-liquid oil cooler. From what we saw in the conditions of our first test, warmup is not greatly affected by this component. In this second portion of product testing, we will be evaluating the impact of this heat exchanger on cooling performance. More importantly, we will be evaluating the cooling benefits of our liquid-to-air cooler.
