Well I got on Mazdaspeed's website this AM to get a new radiator for the '02 and it seems as if Mazda has had a substantial price increase since the last radiator I got from them for the POSIV. ::Spit::
So what are you cool kids doing for an economically appealing radiator for an NB??Quote:
15-200 p/n BP4W-15-200A RADIATOR - $231.92
I've had good luck with the O'Reilly ones. Lifetime warranty is a nice benefit and I've used it. No hassle. They're about $150.00. Get the one for the automatic transmission. It's dual core. Twice the cooling capacity of the manual transmission one.
Ebay had the Koyo OE replacement radiators for $100 or so last I checked, at least for NAs anyway. Mine's been fine for years. Automatic version, yadda yadda.
I've been using the cheap eBay aluminum ones for years with great luck/temps. Hardly ever hear my fan kick on even in the summer, I've got it set to click on at 190 via the aem.
Will a '99 radiator work? I have one that was used for 1.5 to 2 yrs maybe in a box. I put in an all aluminum one for thw track. $100 and it is yours. Search the for sale section. I posted an ad for it a while back.

eBay aluminum radiator? Under $150.
Just installed an e-way one for $49.99. So far it works great (for three days now). I will let you know how it does in the long run, like a week. Except now they are $50.49. Mine must have been on sale...
Any particular seller?? I'd think a touch bigger radiator may be a good thing.Quote:

Just follow him and you can pick up the parts as they come off.Quote:

Anyone happen to know the p/n of the Mazdaspeed Miata??
I found the following but no part numbers.

Maybe: Competition Aluminum Radiator 90-97 0000-01-5501
0000-01-5501 C RADIATOR, COMP. 1 MIATA 1.6 and 1.8 DOHC 1990-97 $597.50 https://mazdamotorsports.com/webapp/...ges/spacer.gif
My eBay one is DNA motoring brand, not that it matters. All the shit from china is probably the same manufacturer.
Maybe??? ->Quote:
RADIATOR Part No: BP6H-15-200 $242.10
The MSM does have a thicker core (couple of MM) than the standard NB radiator, but I'm sure they charge an arm and leg for it.
Anyone happen to know the correct part number for the Mazdaspeed Miata OEM radiator??
Is it BP6H-15-200?

Looks to me like it uses a different fan shroud as well.
Yea I noticed that as well. Can't really find much info on if the Stock NB fans will fit instead of finding a set of Mazdaspeed fans which seem to have more complex wiring (multispeed?) from what I have seen.Quote:

I just installed a MSM radiator on my NB1 yesterday. It mounts right up (as expected), but what I didnt expect is that the stock NB1 fans bolt right up with no modification. The top of the fan shroud bends a wee bit due to the thicker core of the MSM rad, but it works just fine. This makes the swap almost a no brainer - no complicated MSM fan wiring job necessary. I'm going to the track in 2 weeks, so I'll report back on how it fares compared to the previous OEM radiator.
Ours shows BP4W on the little silver sticker.

I saved myself $80.00 with the Mazdaspeed Radiator vs. installing an OEM in the car.
Cool!Quote:
