Before investing in a radiator have a good read of the MRsideways thread. He spent lots and lots of time on researching his radiator spec and the racers with high power all opt for a dual pass set up. Im not knocking the mishimoto product its just you need the dual pass to force the coolant all the way across the radiator. The s2000 has both outlets on the same side where as the majority of cars have them on opposite sides promoting more flow across the radiator.

I would not be tracking the car with the oem radiator or a cheap aftermarket item. I datalog all my full throttle runs so i have alot of data suggesting that my tegiwa item would struggle on track if i was bouncing near the limiter for a 20min session.

Thanks for this Are there any dual pass options to buy off the shelf or is it a custom job?

Mattie had one made over here in the UK at quite a cost and there is a guy in the US that makes them.

TimS has one so might be worth PM'ing him. They will ship to the UK

It's very easy to convert any aluminum radiator to dual pass at your local fabricator. The end tank from the inlet/outlet side has to be cut open, weld a baffle and fix the end tank again

Is that possible on the s2000 radiators? as the inlet and outlet are on opposite sides of the rad.

A lot of the kit will go in the boot once your remove some of the packing

Although I haven't tried this!

Massive thanks to si, AEM ECU arrived yesterday and supercharger turned up this morning!

Box is massive, and very very very heavy lol, it should fit in the s2000 though once its all unpacked
