With over five decades of expertise in radiator manufacturing, CSF stands as a leader in delivering high-quality cooling solutions tailored for demanding automotive applications. The CSF 02-07 Mini Cooper S (R50/R52/R53) High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator exemplifies this commitment by offering superior cooling efficiency and durability, engineered to maintain optimal engine temperatures under both street and track conditions.
Specifically designed for the Mini Cooper S models produced between 2002 and 2007, this radiator integrates advanced engineering features that address the elevated cooling requirements of high-performance and motorsport environments. Whether your vehicle is a high horsepower build or a race-prepared machine, this radiator ensures reliable thermal management, essential for maintaining engine integrity and performance.
At the core of this radiator’s design is CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology. Unlike conventional oval “O” shaped tubes, the B-Tube features a unique “B” shaped cross-section that is meticulously formed and seam-brazed to enhance structural integrity. This innovative design allows the use of thinner, lighter aluminum material without compromising strength, resulting in improved heat dissipation. The B-Tube increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% compared to traditional tubes, effectively delivering the cooling performance equivalent to two smaller tubes within the same spatial constraints. This configuration also facilitates dual liquid laminar flow, optimizing coolant movement for enhanced thermal exchange.
Complementing the B-Tube core is an ultra-efficient fin design. The fins are multi-louvered with a precise 6.5mm height, strategically aligned to maximize airflow through the radiator core. Each fin specification is meticulously calculated and validated through rigorous wind-tunnel testing at CSF’s in-house laboratory, ensuring maximum heat rejection efficiency tailored to the Mini Cooper S application.
The radiator’s 2-row, 42mm dual-core construction balances cooling capacity with a compact footprint, making it an ideal upgrade for both performance enthusiasts and professional racers. The entire assembly is crafted from high-grade aluminum, offering superior corrosion resistance and longevity compared to traditional copper-brass radiators.
Installation is streamlined thanks to the “drop-in fit” design, requiring no modifications. All mounting brackets are CNC machined and welded, providing exceptional durability and precise fitment that aligns perfectly with the original equipment specifications. Inlet and outlet connections are also CNC machined to match OE dimensions, allowing seamless integration with existing OEM hoses and aftermarket components alike. This compatibility extends to accepting all original attaching components, including “quick connect” hoses, AC condensers, mounting brackets, and fan shrouds, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade process.
