Description
MSV Racing OptiFlo™ CR500 "Phi" High-Volume Water Pump Impeller
Up to 20°F Cooler Operating Temperatures. Up to 2.12 HP Recovered.
The MSV Racing OptiFlo™ "Phi" High-Volume Impeller is one of the most effective cooling upgrades available for the Honda CR500.
Engineered specifically for the CR500 water pump housing, the OptiFlo™ Impeller increases coolant flow by an average of 1.5 gallons per minute throughout the RPM range. The result is improved heat transfer, lower engine temperatures, and more consistent horsepower under demanding riding conditions.

Why Cooling Matters
Horsepower creates heat.
As engine temperatures rise, performance begins to fall. Heat soak reduces power, increases detonation risk, and robs your CR500 of the performance you've worked hard to build.
The OptiFlo™ Impeller helps keep coolant moving through the engine and radiators more efficiently, reducing cycle time and improving heat removal.
The result is a cooler-running engine that maintains power longer under heavy loads and high-RPM operation.
The Science Behind the OptiFlo™
Unlike conventional impellers, the OptiFlo™ "Phi" Impeller uses computer-designed vane geometry based on Golden Ratio proportions optimized specifically for the CR500 water pump housing.
Combined with extremely tight clearances between the impeller and housing, this design improves pumping efficiency and coolant flow throughout the RPM range.
