Lots of unfortunate news in this thread.
I was intending to install a CSF radiator as I progress the Z build; it's currently sitting in the center of my floor and I have zero intention of installing it after reading these long term reports. Will probably just punch a whole through the center and get whatever I can for the item's weight in scrap. I can't intentionally re-sell this thing to someone while fully knowing it may cost them an engine. At this point it seems the best feature was how it looked coming out of the box , what a damn shame. Time to start shopping for a vented hood. Last edited by bushyguy; 02-06-2018 at 05:12 PM. |

I really don't know what product some people use to fix the rad. All I konw is that I'm bitter over the whole thing. $500 for the rad, $100 to get my Freon evacuated and recharged (x2 so $200, first CSF install now the oem), tow fee (lucky my insurance has tow service for $50 or something like that), time stranded (priceless), and time wrenching (probably 2-3 hours the first time and 2 hours the second time).
All I'm going to say is stick to OEM, and pass on the CSF. You should not have that many issues on a product marketed as professional and sold at that price. YzGyz |

Well Koyo has finally released it but it's competition only, AKA no AC condenser......

well, I have to add myself to the list. I was doing some spirited driving on my way to the beach and..... there goes all my fluid.... I did have it for three to four years. I now need a replacement and really don't know were to turn >.<. Is there any were we can turn? I really don't feel good about using another one of there products after this one leaked, and all the comments on the same thing happening to others.

That’s my thought. I’m ok with a little loss in efficiency. **** I have an intercooler in front of my radiator and I’ve still not had any issues even in Houston heat. |
