If you're looking to keep your engine cool under pressure, you can't go wrong with a CSF radiator. I've been through my fair share of radiators, and let me tell you, CSF really knows their stuff. They’ve got a massive lineup—over 3,200 applications covering everything from Acura to Volkswagen. No matter what kind of radiator setup you're working with—be it Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, Plastic-Aluminum, or All Aluminum—CSF has got you covered with parts that match the quality and style of the original equipment.
What really sets CSF apart is their commitment to quality. For more than 50 years, they’ve been cranking out high-performance aftermarket radiators, and with over 30 million units sold worldwide, it’s clear they’re doing something right. These radiators are engineered with a focus on cooling performance, and they even put their designs through wind tunnel testing to make sure they can handle the heat—literally.
Let’s dive into some of the features that make this radiator a solid choice. The construction is OEM specified with a plastic tank and aluminum core, which means you’re getting a robust setup that can take a beating. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for added strength and durability, so you don't have to worry about them cracking under pressure. Plus, the gaskets are crafted from special-grade EPDM rubber, designed to endure extreme temperatures, which is a lifesaver for anyone pushing their vehicle to the limits.
And when it comes to performance, the fins—often referred to as the heart of the radiator—feature a high-performance multi-louvered design. This means better airflow and cooling efficiency. Each radiator is also 100% leak tested before it leaves the factory, with a testing pressure 150% of what it would see in real-world conditions. Talk about peace of mind.
Here are some specs to keep in mind: this is a crossflow radiator with two rows, boasting a core length of 35 3/16 inches, width of 23 11/16 inches, and a thickness of 1 5/8 inches. The core and tank materials are aluminum, which helps with weight savings and heat dissipation. You’ll find the inlet on the lower passenger side and the outlet on the lower driver side, both with a diameter of 1 3/8 inches. And if you're worried about oil cooling, this unit comes with a high-efficiency concentric type oil cooler measuring 17 11/16 inches.
Now, if you’ve got a Nissan NV1500 from 2012 to 2021, this radiator is a perfect fit. Just a heads-up: when you’re swapping out your radiator, make sure to check the old pressure cap for wear and tear. You’ll want to use a mini 16 psi cap for optimal performance.
In short, if you're serious about keeping your engine cool and running smoothly, the CSF radiator is a solid investment. It’s built to last and designed to perform, so you can focus on what really matters—hitting the road and enjoying the ride.
