CSF Radiator: Reviews

TheDreamer - thanks for the review... We've sold 20+ units so far, and have been waiting for customer feedback to be presented.

-We also just received great feedback from Performance Motorsport on their own 370Z race car. They'll be presenting their own review soon, but bottom line: water temps did not exceed 225 (±3) degrees and their car never went into limp mode under a full day of race conditions and driving in the humid weather of a New Jersey summer day, ~90 degrees ambient temp.

Just wanted to add some information and pictures regarding our product.

The original OE radiator/condenser module is 32 mm thick. The radiator portion of the unit is only a single row 15mm thick core. For a high performance sports car, such as the Z34, we find this to be a design flaw in regards to proper cooling.

Our "patent pending" unit has 3 distinct components:
1) Radiator core is made of a single row 32mm "B-tube" (picture attached).
- We are the only aftermarket Racing & High Performance radiator manufacture to use this type of tube. This is the same type of tube that is found in the Nissan GT-R OE radiator.
- Our core is twice as thick as the OE, and the B-tube provides another ~15% gain over normal tubes. This is because of more surface area to liquid contact, and the ability to use thinner aluminum, which makes for better heat transfer due to the stronger B-tube design.

2) A 10mm "hot air escape gap" - This allows the cold, more dense air to flow through the condenser into the radiator. Removing some of the hot, unwanted air before it enters the radiator.

3) Detachable condenser - The condenser has a larger surface area than the OE, and will keep your cabin nice and cool. Also, it can be removed for owners who are looking to build race cars, and are interested in removing the unwanted weight or function of the AC.

Other benefits include:
- Racing style aluminum drain plug (first in the industry)

As far as the craftsmanship and finish go. Our welders have been trained by the welding training staff at Izusu Japan. Each radiator is also hand polished for a minimum of 30 mins to achieve it's bright finish.
-Obviously i'm bias.. but I think that after over a year of R&D into our new Racing & High Performance line - we make the best radiators in the world, both performance wise and aesthetically (including ARC) - picture of a Z33 radiator attached

We have two models available:
7011 - With oil cooler for automatic transmissions
7012 - without oil cooler for manual transmissions.
*These will also fit the Infiniti G37

If anyone will be at the SEMA show in November, please come by and check us out and our Z cooling options. Booth #21548. (Close to Subaru, next to Injen technologies).

IF anyone has any questions. Please let me know

Dreamer, do you have a front picture? I'd like to see how much space was left for oil cooler fitment

Unfortunately I don't, I had this installed after my SC so my oil cooler is on the side.

will an intercooler fit with the radiator and oil cooler in between?

Chuck33079

Yep. Mine has the GTM intercooler, then the oil cooler, then the radiator. Fits fine, but the ic core is coming off if you need to get to the oil cooler fittings.

For the GTM SC and intercooler will fit directly in front of the radiator, but the oil cooler will have to be placed off to one side (mine is under the driver side headlight).
The reason is because the SC intercooler is smaller than the TT one and sits closer to the radiator not allowing enough space for other coolers between. With a TT intercooler and CSF radiator you can place an oil cooler between them.

Nope, though now looking at options for even better cooling.
