If you're looking to keep your ride cool and running smoothly, you really can't go wrong with a CSF radiator. These guys know their stuff, having been in the game for over 50 years and selling more than 30 million units worldwide. Whether you're driving an Acura or a Volkswagen, CSF has a radiator that fits your needs—over 3,200 applications covered, so chances are they've got what you need.
What I love about CSF radiators is that they’re built to last. They’ve got this OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction that really stands up to the heat. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins that are "glass filled" to give them added strength and durability. You know you’re not getting some flimsy aftermarket part here.
And let’s talk about the fins—the heart of the radiator, right? CSF uses a high-performance multi-louvered design that really boosts cooling efficiency. Plus, every unit is leak tested before it leaves the factory at 150% of its operating pressure. That’s some serious quality control.
When it comes to installation, you’ll find that everything is torqued and tested during assembly. It’s like they’ve thought of everything, even down to using special grade EPDM rubber gaskets that can handle extreme temperatures up to -120°F. You won’t have to worry about this radiator giving up on you when you really need it.
Now, if you're curious about the specs, here’s the rundown: it’s a crossflow radiator with two rows, a core length of 24 inches, and a core width of 4 5/8 inches. The core thickness is 1 5/8 inches, and both the core and tanks are made from aluminum. The inlet and outlet locations are on the lower passenger side, each with a diameter of 1 3/8 inches. Perfect fit for those Porsche models, like the 911 Series from 2005-2011, Boxster from 2005-2012, and Cayman from 2006-2011.
Before you dive into the installation, just a heads up—make sure to check the old radiator pressure cap for any signs of wear and tear. It’s those little details that can save you a headache down the road.
In short, if you want a radiator that combines performance, durability, and peace of mind, you should definitely consider CSF. Your car will thank you.
