( CSF #7246 & #7247 )
Almost every Ferrari that has rolled out of the factory in Maranello has gone on to become an icon of the automotive world. The 360 and F430 are no exception marking the end of an era. The F430 was the last mid engine Ferrari available with a manual transmission and is still regarded as one of the best sports cars ever made.
As with most vehicles that were built over 20 years ago, the Ferrari 360 and F430 are at the age where a lot of the critical components need to be replaced. While the OEM Radiators are still available, they can be quite expensive, and many owners have been looking for a suitable upgrade for their collectable Italian supercars. CSF has listened to the community and has produced the first reputable High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiators for both the 360 and F430.
Design & Engineering
When initially designing these radiators, there were several key features that CSF knew were important to the Ferrari community: OEM Fit & Finish, Increased performance, and improved reliability.
Key Design Features:
- 20-25% increase in heat transfer efficiency using CSF’s new 5mm Fin & Exclusive B-Tube Technology
- Improved cooling performance to support additional heat generated by high-performance driving and racing.
- Engineered to withstand extreme conditions, providing reliability where it matters most.
- Designed to fit perfectly in the OE location utilizing the factory ducting, and mounting system.
CSF vs OEM
The original F360 & F430 OE 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. Anyone who has restored/updated an older car knows the value of having updated parts that are as efficient as possible.
| Feature | CSF | OEM |
|---|---|---|
| # Core Rows | 2-Row | 1-Row |
| Core Thickness | 42mm | 36mm |
| # Cooling Tubes | 46 | 34 |
| # Cooling Fin Rows | 47 | 35 |
| Fin Height | 5mm | 8mm |
| Core Dimensions | CSF #7246 (360): 440x332mm CSF #7247 (F430): 500x335mm | OE 360: 440x332mm OE F430: 500x335mm |
| Core Material | Aluminum | Aluminum |
| Tank Material | Aluminum | Plastic |
| Construction | 100% TIG Welded | Crip on Gasket |
The CSF Advantage
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. The core is much larger than the factory featuring 2-Row 42mm aluminum core. This both increases the fluid capacity of the radiator, and improves the cores ability to dissipate heat. The use of CSF’s 5mm fins also allowed for 12 additional cooling tubes and fin rows.
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.
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.
5mm Core Upgrade
CSF always seeks to offer the ultimate cooling solution. The latest 5mm fin technology was introduced at the end of 2023 offers even more heat transfer area and thermal efficiency than CSF’s tried and true 6.5mm fins. Porsche owners are known to push their cars hard and CSF is confident this radiator is ready to take on the most demanding conditions in the world.
Fits both Left and Right Sides
CSF Designed both the 360 and F430 radiators to fit both the left and right hand sides. The F430 OE radiators are designed this way but the 360 radiators are not. To resolve this, CSF simply includes a port for the coolant temperature sensor for both sides. This can be used with the OE 176322 sensor or any aftermarket sensor using M22x1.5 threading.
Plug and Play Installation
CSF designed these Radiators to easily replace the OEM units. The Plug-and-Play “Drop-in Fit” installation should only take 2-3 hours and greatly improves the performance and the longevity of your engine.
other Aftermarket
There are a couple aftermarket options floating around on the internet. While CSF could not find anyone who has tested these units, CSF likes to offer the comparison facts for customers to save them time and energy. Typical eBay models may seem tempting based on price, however they are usually made in China by an unbranded manufacturer. While there are plenty of good products made in China, they are usually from well known brands. These units generally offer poor warranty support and the construction appears to use a low quality aluminum core with fewer cooling tubes and fin rows than the OEM.
With eBay and unbranded products, you can never be 100% sure of the quality, but with CSF you can. CSF’s factories are ISO certified, and are OE suppliers to many US, German and Asian manufacturers. All CSF Radiators are fully manufactured and assembled In-House, Including All Tubes and Fins from Military-Grade (Special Clad) Aluminum (JIS 3003 Spec Minimum). CSF Radiators and components are designed in house using state-of-the-art software (including Solidworks, Fusion 360, and Unigraphics), and wind tunnel tested for optimal radiator core cooling efficiency.
