Although the original OE radiators are fine in terms of performance, they do seem to have a common problem: the plastic side-caps are weak and seem to give up after a few years of service. Specially when installing engine upgrades with higher pressure coolant systems, this problem can pop up very quickly.

elise-shop.com has taken the 'standard upgrade option' a step further and is now offering a High pressure, extra capacity radiator at the price of the standard capacity item.

This is the next step in race radiators!

The design of the tanks has improved from a completely welded box section to a pre-formed tank. This reduces size and weight.
It also reduces the number of welds which doesn't only reduce the risk of stress cracking at welds, it also looks a lot better!

elise-shop.com has also combined all possible drilling options for these radiators to make them compatible with all Elise, Exige, Europa, 340R and VX220 models! No more need to drill extra holes, just remove the old item and put the new one in place.. done! This radiator has the same outer dimensions as the OE item, but it has TIG welded aluminium side-caps and a 42mm core as standard. By welding these side-caps on, the radiator is able to withstand a higher pressure and will last longer!

You may also need one or two Radiator fan fitting kits.

If you need to replace the radiator anyway, think of replacing it with our Full Aluminium item. It will last longer, the cost will be lower on the long term!
