If you're diving into the world of cooling systems, you can't overlook the CSF radiator. Seriously, these guys have been in the game for over 50 years, and they've sold more than 30 million units worldwide. That's not just a number; it's a testament to their quality and reliability. Whether you're working on an Acura or a Volkswagen, CSF has a radiator that fits your needs, covering over 3,200 different applications. It doesn’t matter if your old radiator is Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, or Plastic-Aluminum; CSF has got you covered with the same materials and design as your original equipment.
What sets CSF apart? For starters, their radiators are built to last. They use OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction, which means you’re getting a solid piece of engineering. The tanks are made from Virgin Grade Engineered plastic resins that are "Glass Filled" for extra strength and durability. You’ll appreciate that when you’re out on the road or hitting the trails. And let’s not forget about the gaskets—crafted from Special Grade "EPDM" rubber, they can handle extreme temperatures, even dropping to -120°F. That’s some serious resilience.
The fins, which are the heart of any radiator, feature a high-performance "Multi-Louvered Design." This design isn’t just for show; it’s been wind tunnel tested to ensure optimal cooling performance. Plus, every unit is leak tested at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory. You won’t have to worry about surprises down the line.
When it comes to installation, CSF makes it easy. The radiator type is a crossflow, with a top hose fitting of 1 3/8" on the left and a bottom hose fitting of 1 3/8" on the right. The outlet and inlet widths are both 1 9/16", which should fit right into your setup without a hitch. Just keep in mind that the radiator cap isn’t included, so you’ll want to check your old one for wear and tear while you’re at it.
For those of you with a 2017-2020 Hyundai Elantra, this is a perfect fit. And with all components installed, torqued, and tested during assembly, you can trust that you’re getting a product that’s ready to perform. Plus, CSF’s packaging is top-notch, passing a "10 Foot Drop Test" standard, so you know it’ll arrive in one piece.
In summary, if you’re looking for a reliable radiator that combines quality, performance, and durability, the CSF radiator is a solid choice. You’ll appreciate the attention to detail and the engineering that goes into each unit. It's not just a radiator; it's a piece of equipment that can make a real difference in how your ride performs.
