If you're looking to keep your engine cool without breaking the bank, you should definitely check out the CSF radiator. These guys have been in the game for over 50 years, and they know a thing or two about making reliable radiators. With over 3,200 applications covered, you can bet they’ve got something that fits your ride, whether it's an Acura or a Volkswagen.
What sets CSF apart? Well, they use some solid materials that match the original equipment (OE) specs. Whether you have a Copper-Brass or an All Aluminum setup, CSF has your back. Their radiators are built tough, with a focus on high performance. Each unit is tested for leaks at 150% of operating pressure, so you can trust that it’s going to hold up when you need it most.
Let's talk specifics. This radiator features a crossflow design with a single row, making it both efficient and lightweight. The core measures in at 21 11/16" long, 14 1/2" wide, and 5/8" thick, crafted from aluminum for optimal heat dissipation. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins, and they’re "glass filled" to boost strength and durability. Plus, the gaskets are made from EPDM rubber, which can handle extreme temps—up to -120°F! That’s some serious resilience.
Now, if you're driving a Chevrolet Sonic from 2012 to 2018, this radiator is a perfect fit. It’s designed specifically for that model, so you won’t run into any compatibility issues. Just keep an eye on your old radiator pressure cap; it's always a good idea to check for wear when you're swapping out parts.
In terms of installation, you won’t have to worry about any surprises. The inlet is on the upper driver side and the outlet on the lower passenger side, both with a diameter of 1 3/8". And if you’re running an oil cooler, this radiator includes a high-efficiency plate type that measures 11 1/2".
So, if you want a radiator that’s been wind tunnel tested and built to last, the CSF radiator is worth considering. It’s a solid choice for keeping your engine cool, especially if you’re pushing your Sonic to its limits.
