If you’re looking to keep your engine cool and running like a champ, the CSF Engine Coolant Radiator is worth a look. This isn't just any radiator; it’s designed with OE style in mind, meaning it fits right in and works just like the original. I’ve seen firsthand how a solid cooling system can extend the life of your engine, and this radiator is a key player in that game.
Let’s dive into the specs. This downflow radiator features a single row design, which keeps things simple yet effective. It measures 16 3/4” in core length and 28 1/4” in width, with a thickness of 5/8”. It’s primarily made of aluminum, while the tanks are crafted from durable plastic. You’ll find the inlet located at the upper center and the outlet on the lower driver side, both with a 1 1/4” diameter—standard but reliable.
What really stands out about this radiator is its construction. The OEM specified plastic tank-aluminum core setup means it’s built to last. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra strength. On top of that, the gaskets are made from EPDM rubber, designed to handle extreme temperatures, which is crucial in preventing leaks or failures down the line.
Speaking of leaks, CSF tests each radiator at 150% of the operating pressure before it leaves the factory, so you can trust that it’s going to hold up. Plus, they’ve got some serious packaging standards—these radiators can survive a 10-foot drop test. You know they’re serious about quality.
CSF has been in the game for over 50 years, and they’ve sold more than 30 million units worldwide. They’ve got a solid reputation for manufacturing high-quality aftermarket radiators that meet or exceed OEM standards. Their products are engineered and even wind tunnel tested to ensure top-notch cooling performance. You can feel confident that you’re getting a radiator that’s been carefully designed and built with the best materials available.
This radiator fits specific models like the Acura CL from 2001 to 2003 and the Acura TL from 2002 to 2003. Just a heads up: when you’re swapping out the radiator, make sure to check the old pressure cap for any signs of wear. And don't forget to grab a mini 16 psi cap for optimal performance.
In short, if you want a reliable, high-performance radiator that’s built to last, the CSF Engine Coolant Radiator is a solid choice. It’s not just about keeping your engine cool; it’s about peace of mind knowing you’ve got a top-tier product under the hood.
