Uprated alloy water radiator
with upgraded cooling capacity. The high-efficiency core measures a height of 45mm and bears extensively more volume compared to the OEM part with 35mm. The side boxes are made of alloy. Those of the OEM radiators are made of plastic and therefore well-known for bursting without premonition. Extensive repair costs are the result.The installation of this radiator requires some slight modifications.This version is recommended for increased power-rated (especially super- and turbo-charged) cars!
Does fit to Exige S V6 up to MY2015, but doesn't fit to Exige Sport 350 cars!
Hose kit consists of 12 hoses for all Elises with Rover engine. There are the hoses of the engine bay and two hoses on the water radiator. The modern silicon technology makes the hoses very heat and pressure resistant. Also, the retain more flexibility over time, compared to the standard hose. Available in blue.
The design of the Elise cooling system is not ideal as the K-series engine was designed for a FWD car and the Elise is a RWD car. Specifically designed for the Elise, this remote thermostat can be fitted almost anywhere in the cooling system.The cylinder head takes the brunt of many oscillations in temperature ranges caused by the thermostat constantly opening and closing and very cold water coming back through several metres of pipe work from the front of the car.These temperature variations can cause the head to expand and contract many times ultimately causing head gasket failure.Our remote thermostat alleviates the thermal shock caused by the cold water hitting a hot cylinder head.This kit is for all cars with a Rover K-series engine, produced after 1996/1997! (with the horizontal coolant pipe at the bottom of the engine)
When things go wrong in terms of a head gasket failure, you will find that the expansion tank has turned brown after solving all problems. Also, over time, the coolant tank will start to look a bit grubby. This is the original coolant tank as used in production. It simply recplaces the old one and makes your engine bay look right again!
Alloy Header TankBuilt as a direct replacement for the original plastic tank. The plastic one is getting worse, because of UV for example. Already our Alloy-Version looks always fine! We have got three different finishes available: polished, satin black and satin silver. Also we can supply a sight glas as an optional extra,aswell as a high pressure cap (order separately).
Even when you use the correct specified coolant, the waterpump is still subject to corrosion over the years. Certainly when your car has suffered from a headgasket failure, where other substances may get into the coolant channels, the water pump is suffering. This pump will flow 200 litres per minute.
If you enjoy pushing your car to its limits on track days and have enhanced the engine performance, installing this 82° thermostat can effectively regulate the engine temperature.By opening 7° earlier than the stock thermostat, it lowers the average coolant temperature, allowing the system to engage sooner.While we advise utilizing a remote thermostat and water-to-oil cooler for highly modified engines, if you seek a cost-effective and immediate solution, this thermostat fits the bill!This product fits:Elise Mk1 RoverElise Mk2 Rover340R
