If you're driving a Porsche 996 or 986 Boxster, you know how important it is to keep that engine cool, especially if you’re pushing it to the limit on the track or just enjoying a spirited drive on the weekend. That’s where the CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator comes in. With over 50 years in the game, CSF has got the know-how to keep your ride running at its best.

This radiator isn't just any old part; it's a serious upgrade that can handle high horsepower builds and the demands of motorsports. The 2-row core features CSF’s unique B-Tube Technology, which is a game changer. Instead of the usual round tubes, these B-shaped tubes are designed to maximize heat transfer. This means you're getting about 20% more efficiency compared to standard tubes. It’s like having two smaller tubes working in the same space as one big tube, which really ramps up cooling performance.

The construction is all aluminum, and it’s built tough with 100% TIG-welded end tanks. You won’t have to worry about leaks because each unit is individually tested for pressure and leaks. Plus, the multi-louvered fins are engineered to optimize airflow, making sure every bit of heat gets pushed out efficiently. The fin height is 6.5mm, which is just right for maximizing surface area contact.

Installation? No sweat. This radiator is designed as a drop-in fit. You won’t need to modify anything; it matches up with your OE brackets and connections perfectly. Just reuse your OEM hoses or aftermarket ones, and you’re good to go. It even accepts the OEM AC condenser and fan shroud, so you won’t have to worry about compatibility issues.

Here are some quick specs to chew on:

  • Core Height: 22.4375 in.
  • Core Thickness: 1.625 in.
  • Core Width: 4.625 in.
  • Inlet/Outlet Diameter: 0.875 in. (Slip On)
  • Cross Flow Type for better cooling efficiency
  • Finish: Smooth Satin

So, if you want to keep your Porsche running cool and performing at its peak, the CSF radiator is a solid choice. It’s built for those who take their driving seriously, whether it's on the street or the track. Trust me, you won’t regret this upgrade.
