CSF Racing Radiator
Subaru WRX 2008-2014 / STI 2008+
Features & Product Details
RallySport Direct proudly carries a great selection of quality racing radiators brought to you by CSF.
Here, you are looking at the CSF Racing Radiator. This is a super-durable all aluminum radiator designed to replace your factory radiator to improve the overall cooling efficiency. Most factory radiators are manufactured using plastic upper and bottom tanks which will eventually weaken over time, and will leak which will cause you to overheat, which will open up an entirely different set of problems. CSF relieves this issue with all-aluminum construction to essentially become the end-all-be-all of radiators.

Pulled the trigger with a generous discount code, love the quality of the radiator and larger core. Super easy to install and oem fans bolt right up. It falls right into place even though it looks wider than oem radiator but don’t be scared. I will add that IF YOU ARE RUNNING a front oil cooler like the mishimoto one that I am using the braided oil lines will prevent the radiator from falling into place. Not too worry all you need to do is cut a small piece of plastic from the fan not the actual blades. About a inch at most and it will give you enough room to set the radiator down into position. Other than that I paired this product with redline water wetter and silicon hoses. Looks amazing!
Radiator works great but the cap they gave me looks a little bent and it leaks coolant a lot.
Great product. OEM fitment of all the lines, hoses, fans everything fit perfect. Plus all the brackets and pieces are aluminum vs oem plastic. This radiator is beautiful, it’s like installing a piece of shiny art. Came packaged very nicely with zero damage. Came with decals & stickers too. Been running this radiator for a couple months now with zero issues. CSF is worth every penny.
Bought this for my 2012 WRX to replace my OEM radiator that finally gave out. The radiator is high quality and very well made. The way the radiator was packaged was exceptional and definitely made to protect it during shipping. Fitment is spot on. I had no clearance issues with the fan connectors, fans, or overflow tank. You do have to cut about 1/2" from all the hoses that connect to the radiator so you don't have any kinked or rubbing hoses since this radiator is much bigger than stock but that's hardly an inconvenience. Definitely worth the upgrade!
I installed this radiator along with a set of mishimoto radiator hoses and perrin radiator stays. the install was easy but note that trimming of the new hoses and existing breather hoses is needed since the CSF radiator is almost twice as thick. also the passenger side fan connector just barely clears the timing cover. i will cut down the fan shroud to help it clear better. finally i put a piece of thick foam weatherstripping between the crossmember an the top of the radiator help airflow. i am happy with radiator all things considered.

A: I am running the stock OEM fans/shroud. what i ended up doing was un-clipping the mount that holds for the passenger fan connector on the shroud. this resolved the slight touching of the connector with the engine timing belt cover. i moved the connector slightly down and zip tied it lower down the shroud.
