Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate Blue

2006–2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI GDB-F 2.0L Turbo

Part #: 673 003 AL

Overview

The Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate Blue is an essential upgrade for Subaru STI GDB-F owners who seek improved cooling performance and enhanced engine reliability during spirited driving or track days. Designed specifically for the 2006–2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI GDB-F models equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged engine, this cooling plate addresses a common airflow inefficiency that can lead to elevated coolant temperatures under demanding conditions.

By redirecting airflow through the radiator core, this cooling plate helps maintain optimal coolant temperatures, ensuring your engine runs cooler and more efficiently. Whether you're a performance enthusiast pushing your vehicle on the track or a daily driver looking to prevent overheating during high-speed highway drives, this component provides a practical solution to improve thermal management.

Key Features

The Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate Blue is engineered with precision to enhance airflow and cooling efficiency. Crafted from durable materials and finished in a striking blue color, it not only performs well but also adds a sporty aesthetic to your engine bay.

• Constructed from high-quality aluminum for excellent heat dissipation and lightweight durability.
• Precisely designed to fit the Subaru STI GDB-F models, ensuring a seamless bolt-on installation without modifications.
• Reduces the gap between the radiator and upper support, directing airflow through the radiator fins rather than over the top, which helps lower coolant temperatures during high-performance driving.

Construction & Design

The Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate Blue is built from high-grade aluminum, ensuring excellent heat transfer and resistance to corrosion. Its one-piece construction and TIG welding provide structural integrity and durability under demanding conditions. The plate's design effectively seals the gap between the radiator and upper support, channeling airflow directly through the radiator fins for maximum cooling efficiency. The vibrant blue finish not only offers corrosion resistance but also adds a distinctive visual appeal to your engine bay, reflecting Cusco's commitment to quality and performance.

Performance & Benefits

By improving airflow through the radiator, this cooling plate helps keep coolant temperatures lower during high-speed or track driving, reducing the risk of overheating and maintaining consistent engine performance. While it does not increase horsepower directly, it supports the cooling system's capacity to handle increased thermal loads, which is crucial during aggressive driving sessions. The enhanced airflow can contribute to more stable engine operation, better response, and potentially longer component life.

Installation & Fitment

The Cusco Radiator Cooling Plate Blue is a bolt-on upgrade that requires no cutting or drilling. It mounts directly onto the existing radiator support using factory mounting points, making installation straightforward for DIY enthusiasts or professional installers. The process typically involves removing the upper radiator support, positioning the cooling plate, and securing it with the included hardware. No tuning or additional modifications are necessary, allowing you to enjoy improved cooling quickly and easily.

• Easy bolt-on installation with no cutting or drilling required.
• Designed specifically for 2006–2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI GDB-F models with 2.0L turbo engine.
• Installation time is approximately 1–2 hours with basic hand tools.
