The CSF radiators feature the latest 5mm multi-louvered fins. These fins significantly increase the heat exchange surface area improving overall cooling efficiency and recovery while still maintaining good airflow. Each core is 26% larger than the original featuring 2-Row 42mm aluminum core. This both increases the fluid capacity of the radiator, and improves the core's ability to dissipate heat. The use of CSF's 5mm fins also allowed for an additional cooling tube and fin row.
When initially designing the radiators, there were several key features that CSF knew were important to the Ferrari community: OEM Fit & Finish, Increased performance, improved reliability, and better serviceability. The original 458 radiators from Ferrari feature aluminum cores crimped onto plastic end tanks. While generally accepted as good quality and durable, this design is significantly weaker than the all-aluminum TIG welded design of the CSF Radiators.
Every time the coolant is changed, the rubber hoses are pulled off the radiator, often along with some of the plastic from the radiator inlet/outlet. This puts stress on the plastic tanks and crimped gaskets connecting them to the core. It also wears down the hoses faster due to the bending and manipulation. CSF added drain plugs to the lower tanks making service simpler and reducing the risk of the hoses wearing out prematurely.
The CSF #7252 Cooling product is designed to be a "Drop-In Fit" application. The product will install in the OEM Location with no modifications necessary unless otherwise noted or instructions are included in the product package. Please see the manufacturer repair manual for standard installation instructions. If you do not feel confident installing this product CSF recommends taking it to a qualified installation facility.
CSF designed these Radiators to easily replace the OEM units. The Plug-and-Play "Drop-in Fit" installation means all the factory shrouds and brackets will line up and bolt on perfectly. This includes the Power Steering Cooler on the right-hand side as well as the A/C Condenser on the left-hand side. It's also a great time to replace your old condenser with the new CSF #8377 OEM+/Performance A/C Condenser.
The combination of TIG-Welded 100% All Aluminum construction increases the overall strength of the radiator. This improves durability and longevity so you can be confident it will hold up to hard driving conditions. Additionally, the satin black finish gives the radiator a clean OEM look and both radiators are a true Plug-and-Play "Drop-in Fit" application.
CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. Combined with the new 5mm fins, heat transfer is increased by up to 25% overall. In addition, the super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible performance.
