Description

CSF Mirror-Finish Polished High-Performance Half Radiator for CT9A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII / VIII / IX [7228]

The Mitsubishi Evo holds a distinguished place in CSF’s history, celebrated as one of the true JDM legends. With its powerful 4G63 engine and Mitsubishi’s AWD system, the Evo performs exceptionally both on and off the road. For years, Evo 7, 8, and 9 owners have relied on CSF Radiators to keep their high-horsepower DSMs cool. A standout among CSF’s universal products is the Ultimate Half Radiator, the preferred choice for Evo owners with large turbos and forward-facing manifolds needing a compact fit. This new radiator provides a cost-effective alternative to the feature-rich ultimate half radiator, incorporating innovative design features that set it apart from competitors. CSF proudly presents the Evo 7-9 High-Performance All-Aluminum Half Radiator, available in both a “mirror finish” hand polish and a satin black finish for a sleek, high-end look.

Design and Engineering

The Evo’s 4G63 engine performs exceptionally with a large turbo, but these turbos generate substantial heat. To address this, CSF engineered the new half radiator to deliver top cooling performance within a compact design. This radiator incorporates the same 2-row, 42mm high-performance core that has proven effective in countless Evos equipped with CSF’s Ultimate Half Radiator. Utilizing CSF’s exclusive B-tube technology, it achieves approximately 15% greater heat transfer than standard oval-welded tubes. Additionally, the multi-louvered fins are optimized to maximize airflow through the core, ensuring the highest possible performance. The half radiator is also compatible with CSF’s 12-inch high-performance SPAL fan and shroud kit, which can be added or purchased separately.

Adjustable Mounting Bracket

Manufacturing tolerances, age, and other external factors can complicate the installation of new parts. To simplify this process, CSF designed the top mounting bracket with adjustability, allowing for easier installation and ensuring optimal fitment for owners.

Adjustable Breather Pipe

Large turbo installations and custom builds often present challenges with hose routing, as ideal paths may not align with the original configuration. To provide more flexibility, CSF designed the breather pipe on the filler neck to be 2-way adjustable, offering owners additional options for positioning and routing their overflow hose and tank.

Temperature Sensor Port

Monitoring coolant temperatures is essential for high-horsepower builds and racing applications. Aftermarket temperature gauges are popular among Evo builds, so CSF ensured easy installation for customers by including a 1/8th NPT port on the bottom tank, compatible with widely used aftermarket temperature sensors. For those not using temperature sensors or who have one installed elsewhere, CSF also provides an NPT plug for convenience.

Finish options

Although not a performance feature, CSF recognizes the importance of engine bay styling for many enthusiasts. The CSF Black Series radiators have gained significant popularity among Evo owners, so the new Half Radiator is offered in both CSF’s renowned 1-Hour “mirror finish” hand polish and the sleek satin black finish from the expanding Black Series.

Optional Fan Shroud Kit

The CSF Half-Rad Fan Shroud Kit CSF available in polished aluminum and satin black are fully compatible with the new Evo Half Radiator. This direct bolt-on upgrade includes a 909 CFM 12″ SPAL puller fan, making it an excellent enhancement for improving cooling efficiency at idle and low speeds.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
