Porsche 996 Turbo CSF Radiator Installation at BBi Autosport



While the cooling systems of modern day Porsches are among the best, they still ultimately wear items that deteriote with heat cycling and inevitably fail and the factory design leaves a lot of room for improvement. The original radiators on our client's Porsche 996 Turbo here developed a slow leak and we took this opportunity to upgrade the vehicle's entire cooling system with direct replacement CSF All Aluminum Race Radiators for improved cooling performance and durability.





Leaking OEM Radiator





Replacement CSF All Aluminum Race Radiator for Porsche 996 997 Turbo Models







Each radiator features upgraded surface area and stronger cross tubes for improved efficiency and cooling. Unlike the stock units with single row cores, the CSF radiators utiizes a 2 row core (dual core) with B-Tube technology. The B-tube technology is exclusive to CSF in the N. American high performance aftermarket. The B structure of the tube is stronger than a normal "oval" welded type tube. Because of the structure, lighter and thinner aluminum can be used for better heat transfer. This also makes the unit extremely lightweight, weighs just as much as the OEM unit. Also the seam down the middle creates more surface area contact with the coolant for a total heat transfer benefit versus stock of about 20%, and it will keep even the most powerful and demanding engines cool even if pushed in extreme temperatures and conditions. CSF designed these radiators to “drop in fit”, requiring no modifications to OEM mounting brackets and stock radiator location.
