Having a High-Performance Radiator also becomes very important when converting from a factory style top mount intercooler to a front mount intercooler system. Moving the intercooler in front of the radiator restricts airflow and increases the temperature of air flowing through it. These factors are often overlooked but you need to compensate for both air restriction and higher air temperatures flowing through the radiator. The best solution is to upgrade to a CSF High-Performance Radiator.
The CSF 42mm 2-Row aluminum core is more than double the size of the OEM core. A thicker core, second cooling row, and increased fluid capacity drastically improves the amount of heat the system can absorb and dissipate. CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. In addition, the super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible cooling performance.
CSF has long been one of the most popular manufacturers for High-Performance Subaru Radiators. This history includes making many private label oil coolers, intercoolers, and more for some of the most popular Subaru Tuning Companies. So whether you are racing on track, rally racing in the dirt, overlanding, or just doing some spirited driving through country roads, a high-performance radiator will help keep your Forester XT running at optimal temperatures.
The CSF #7235 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.
The original OE radiator from Subaru is a plastic tank with a single row aluminum core design. While this is generally accepted as good quality and durable, it is not the best option for high horsepower builds or hard driving. Also, Turbo cars get hot, and the EJ25 engine is no exception. Anything you can do to help keep coolant temps in check will improve the longevity of your engine and help the car run smoothly.
The 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. The CSF radiator mounts in the factory location and requires no modifications or cutting.
CSF manufactures the most advanced and efficient radiator in the industry for your Forester XT. CSF uses innovative tube and fin technologies with industry-leading testing methods to maximize airflow and heat dissipation.
