Product Description

CSF is quite familiar with GM performance vehicles so creating a high-performance radiator for the C6 Corvette made a lot of sense. Also given the age of the C6, there are a lot of owners ready to upgrade or looking to replace their original radiators. The goal was to create a model that could fit all of the C6 Corvette trims and work with the majority of upgrades and modifications. CSF teamed up with A&A Corvette to develop this radiator. As experts exclusively developing products for Corvettes for over 20 years, they were the perfect R&D Partner for this radiator. This new design coupled with a core that has 193% more volume than the factory radiator offers a massive upgrade in cooling capacity. The CSF Radiator also offers the best value of any aftermarket radiator coming in hundreds of dollars less than competitors.

The original OE radiator from Chevy features plastic tanks 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 and hard driving. Big V8s get hot, and the LS is no exception. Anything you can do to help keep temperatures in check will improve longevity of your motor and components.

The CSF C6 Corvette Radiator uses a 193% larger 2-Row 52mm aluminum core. This both increases the fluid capacity of the radiator, and improves the cores ability to dissipate heat. CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. In addition, the 8mm super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible performance. The improved airflow characteristics of the CSF core offers superior cooling when paired with intercoolers and heat exchangers installed in front for supercharger and turbo kits.

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. The core height is also slightly reduced to create additional clearance for supercharger installations.

All the fittings on the CSF radiator are made to the same specifications as the factory radiators, allowing for a simple plug and play installation. CSF carefully engineered and produced the factory style quick connect fittings for models equipped with an Engine Oil Cooler and/or Automatic Transmission Cooler. If your C6 Corvette is not equipped with either of these coolers you can simply leave them unplugged as these are independent cooling circuits. CNC machined fan shroud mounting points are placed to accommodate all the different OE fan configurations. All radiator mounting pins are also CNC machined for added strength compared to the OE plastic pins. The mounting pins also feature cotter pin holes for securing the A&A Corvette Top Shroud.

CSF has integrated both an engine oil cooler and automatic transmission cooler to the radiator. Both coolers feature a high-efficiency plate design for maximum cooling. The built-in engine oil cooler is high-flow 4 plate design with low pressure drop characteristics. The automatic transmission cooler is a super high-efficiency 6 plate design for maximum heat dissipation suitable for all motorsports applications (Track, Drift, Drag, etc). These coolers were carefully engineered to not impact cooling efficiency of the radiator while still providing improved cooling over the factory system.

The core height has been lowered slightly to accommodate for various supercharger installations. Many supercharger installations require trimming of the radiator core or lowering the radiator. The slightly reduced height makes such modifications unnecessary with the CSF Radiator. Cutting the header plate on the OEM Radiator can weaken the overall structure of the radiator and you risk damaging the core. CSF Worked closely with A&A Corvette to develop this radiator to avoid the header plate trimming required to run the induction piping. Cutting or Bending the radiator header plate is a common modification on most supercharger installations. The radiator will also work with all aftermarket ram air intake systems available on the market.
