This upgrade kit allows the RX8 cooling system to operate as a closed system using our aluminum tank as an Air Separator Tank (AST). The included semi-translucent reservoir tank makes it easy to see the current coolant level. It also features a low level sensor to signal the RX8 dash warning light for low coolant. Unlike OEM, however, there will be no false warnings..............
A closed cooling system for your RX8 increases efficiency by reducing entrained air bubbles. in the working coolant system.
Enjoy all the benefits of our closed cooling system with the added safety of an in-cabin signal.
Kit includes our aluminum tank, semi-translucent reservoir tank, level sensor, hose, hardware, and installation instructions.
