Review on High-Quality TYC 2694 04-08 Mz Rx8 1.3L At 1R Pa Rad: Reliable Performance Radiator for Mazda RX8 by Chris Reeves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits as expected, fits engine cooling and air conditioning

This bad guy saved me a ton of money when I had to replace my Mazda RX-8 radiator. I originally bought a new tank for it and during installation the fitting connecting the tank to the radiator broke. Not too much, but the stock rx-8 heatsinks are terrible. The nipple was the consistency of wax. It would probably have broken along the way if I hadn't broken it when replacing the reservoir. Anyway, I took a closer look and this heatsink was the cheaper option, about half the price if I remember correctly. I was a bit nervous about buying Revain parts but this cooler was a perfect fit. I removed whatever was blocking the radiator on top of the engine when I found it was coming out the bottom. It wasn't the funniest renovation, but it was the right part and it worked great.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
