With over five decades of expertise in radiator manufacturing, CSF stands as a leader in delivering advanced cooling solutions. The CSF Audi B5 S4 High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator is engineered to maintain optimal engine temperatures, ensuring your B5 S4 operates at peak efficiency under all conditions. Whether on the street or the track, this radiator is an essential upgrade for vehicles requiring enhanced cooling capabilities, particularly for high horsepower builds and motorsport applications.
At the core of this radiator’s superior performance is CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology. Unlike conventional oval-shaped "O" type tubes, the B-Tubes are uniquely shaped and seam-brazed to provide exceptional strength and durability. This innovative design allows the use of thinner, lighter aluminum material without compromising structural integrity, resulting in improved heat dissipation. The B-Tube’s inlet positioned centrally within the tube increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% compared to standard tubes. This effectively delivers the cooling efficiency of two smaller tubes within the same spatial constraints, facilitating dual liquid laminar flow for enhanced thermal management.
Complementing the B-Tube design, the radiator incorporates ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins that are meticulously aligned to maximize airflow through the core. Each fin’s dimensions and placement are carefully calculated and rigorously tested in CSF’s wind tunnel laboratory to ensure optimal heat rejection performance. This attention to detail guarantees that the radiator can handle demanding cooling requirements while maintaining reliability and durability.
The CSF B5 S4 radiator is designed as a true "Drop-in fit" replacement, requiring no modifications during installation. All mounting brackets are precision CNC machined and welded to meet stringent durability standards. The inlet and outlet connections are engineered to match the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, allowing seamless integration with existing OEM or aftermarket hoses. This ensures a straightforward installation process and compatibility with all original components, including the AC condenser, mounting brackets, and fan shroud.
