Rx8 Series 1 (2003-2008) – Ultimate Cooling upgrade
We have modified the Series 2 Water Pump which has a much improved Impeller design to fit the Series 1 Rx8. Say goodbye to the inefficient impeller design of the Series 1 Water Pump which has not been updated since the Rx7, and say hello to the new Ultimate Water Pump Cooling Upgrade.
Benefits:
- Reduced Engine Temperatures for Fast Road or Track use
- More efficient impeller, reduces cavitation, increases cooling over a wider Rpm range.
- Custom pulley which now under-drives the Water-Pump without under-driving the rest of the ancillaries.
- More Power to the wheels, reducing pumping losses.
Available in 3 sets:
- Modified Water Pump, Gasket and Custom Plain Pulley – See other listing
- Modified Water Pump, paired with 4 Piece pulley kit. – see other listing
- Modified Water Pump, paired with Racing Pulley kit. – £300
