With over five decades of expertise in radiator manufacturing, CSF stands as a trusted leader in delivering high-quality cooling solutions tailored for Porsche 996 and 997 models. The CSF Porsche 996 911 Turbo / GT2 / 997 GT3 / GT2 (Center) All-Aluminum Radiator exemplifies this commitment to excellence, offering a meticulously engineered component designed to maintain optimal engine temperatures under both street and track conditions. This radiator is an essential upgrade for high-performance vehicles and racing applications where enhanced cooling efficiency is paramount.
At the core of this radiator’s superior performance is CSF’s proprietary B-Tube Technology. Unlike conventional oval-shaped "O" tubes, CSF employs a uniquely shaped "B" tube, which is precision-formed and seam-brazed to ensure a robust and leak-free structure. This innovative design allows the use of thinner, lighter aluminum material without compromising strength, resulting in a radiator that is both durable and highly efficient. The B-Tube design increases the heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% compared to standard tubes, effectively delivering the cooling capacity of two smaller tubes within the same spatial constraints. This dual liquid laminar flow enhances heat dissipation, ensuring your engine remains within optimal temperature ranges even under demanding conditions.
Complementing the advanced tube design, the radiator features ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins that are precisely aligned to maximize airflow through the core. Each fin’s specifications are carefully calculated and validated through rigorous wind tunnel testing to guarantee maximum heat rejection efficiency. This attention to detail ensures that the radiator performs consistently at the highest level, supporting both daily driving and professional motorsport environments.
The CSF radiator is engineered for a seamless installation experience. Its true "Drop-in fit" design requires no modifications, preserving the integrity of your vehicle’s original setup. All brackets are CNC machined and welded, providing exceptional durability and precise alignment. The inlet and outlet connections are crafted to OEM specifications, allowing the reuse of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hoses or compatibility with aftermarket options. This facilitates a straightforward replacement process, minimizing downtime and installation complexity.
