Do I need the Spoon hoses with the Aluminum Radiator for AP1?

Yes. Spoon states that the Aluminum Radiator for AP1 must be used with Spoon SEP radiator hoses. At high engine speed the water pump can pull a standard hose flat, restricting flow just when cooling matters most, and the thicker SEP hoses resist that. Budget for the hoses as part of the same order.

Can I keep the air conditioning?

Yes. Spoon designed the radiator to work with the air conditioning still installed, so the condenser stays in place and the car remains comfortable on the drive to and from the circuit. That makes it a practical upgrade for a roadster that is driven on the road as much as it is tracked.

How much better does it cool?

Spoon quotes a cooling improvement of about 40 percent over the factory radiator, achieved by thickening the core to 35 mm across two rows while keeping the factory outline. BA quotes the Spoon figure as given; actual temperatures depend on ambient conditions, airflow and how hard the car is driven.

Is a radiator cap included?

Yes. Spoon supplies its own radiator cap with the radiator, so cap and filler neck are matched from the start. The thermo switch and thermostat Spoon recommends are separate purchases, as are the SEP hoses and the fresh coolant needed to fill the system after installation.

Does it fit both the AP1 and AP2?

Yes. Spoon registers one radiator for the whole S2000 run, the 2.0L F20C cars from 1999 and the 2.2L F22C cars to 2009. Because it shares the shape of the factory part, it goes into the standard position on either car, and Go Tuning sells it for 2000 to 2009 US model years.

Description

Spoon Sports Aluminum Radiator for AP1 / AP2 Honda S2000

The Spoon Sports Aluminum Radiator for AP1 / AP2 S2000 is a two-row, all-aluminum replacement shaped like the factory part, built for roadsters that spend summer afternoons on circuits. Spoon thickens the core to 35 mm and quotes a cooling improvement of about 40 percent, enough headroom to keep the F20C or F22C at a steady temperature through repeated hard laps. Air conditioning stays in place, and a Spoon radiator cap comes in the box. There is one condition Spoon insists on: the radiator must be run with Spoon SEP radiator hoses, because at high rpm the water pump can pull a softer hose flat. Spoon also recommends its thermo switch and thermostat to complete the system. For a road car it is more cooling than needed; for an S2000 that sees track days in hot weather, it is the right foundation.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
