If you're looking to keep your engine cool, you really can't go wrong with a CSF radiator. Trust me, I've been around the block with radiators, and CSF stands out. They’ve got a huge selection—over 3,200 applications spanning everything from Acuras to Volkswagens. So, whether your ride has a Copper-Brass setup or you’re rolling with an All-Aluminum design, CSF has what you need, made with the same materials and style as the original equipment.

These guys have been in the game for more than 50 years, and they’ve sold over 30 million units worldwide. That’s not just a number; it’s a testament to their quality. Each radiator is engineered to meet high performance standards and is even wind tunnel tested for cooling performance. You can really feel the difference when you’re out on the road or hitting the trails.

What I appreciate about CSF is their attention to detail. They use OEM specified plastic tank-aluminum core construction, which means you’re getting durability without sacrificing performance. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra strength. This isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s built to last.

And let’s talk about the gaskets. Made from special grade EPDM rubber, they can handle extreme temperatures, going as low as -120°F. That’s crucial if you’re in a climate that swings from hot to cold. The fins—what I like to call the heart of the radiator—feature a high-performance multi-louvered design that maximizes cooling efficiency. Plus, every single unit is leak tested before it leaves the factory, ensuring it can handle 150% of the operating pressure. You won’t find that level of confidence with just any radiator.

As for the specs, this is a crossflow radiator with a single row design. The core measures 20 inches in length, 16 5/8 inches in width, and has a thickness of 1 1/4 inches. It’s all aluminum, which means it’s lightweight yet robust. The inlet and outlet locations are straightforward, located at the upper driver side and lower passenger side, both with a diameter of 1 1/8 inches. And if you have an oil cooler, you’ll be set with the 10 7/16” high-efficiency plate type.

This particular model fits the Nissan Versa from 2012 to 2019, so if that’s your car, you’re in luck. Just a heads-up: make sure to use a mini 13 psi cap, and check your old radiator pressure cap for wear when you’re swapping it out. It’s those little things that can save you a headache down the line.

In short, if you want a solid radiator that’s built for performance and reliability, give the CSF a shot. It’s not just another part; it’s a piece of mind for your ride.
