CSF High-Performance Center Radiator for 992 Porsche 911 Carrera / GT3 and GT3 RS / Sport Classic / Targa / Turbo and Turbo S [7243]

CSF High-Performance Center Radiator for 992 Porsche 911 Carrera / GT3 and GT3 RS / Sport Classic / Targa / Turbo and Turbo S [7243]

CSF continues to expand its industry-leading Porsche cooling lineup with the release of a High-Performance Center Radiator for the 992-generation 911, supporting both 992.1 and 992.2 variants of the Carrera, GT3, GT3 RS, Sport Classic, Turbo, and Turbo S. As more owners take their 992s to the track or build them for high-performance street use, the limitations of the stock cooling system — particularly on models that did not come equipped with a factory center radiator — have become a clear concern. In response, CSF now offers a complete solution with high-performance Left, Right, and Center Radiators engineered to dramatically improve thermal efficiency and reliability. Trusted by thousands of Porsche drivers around the globe, CSF’s cooling components remain the go-to upgrade across water-cooled 911s, Boxsters, Caymans, and Cayennes. With advanced thermal technology and precision manufacturing, CSF delivers the most effective drop-in fit radiators available for today’s Porsche platforms.

Why 992 Owners Should Upgrade

• Enhanced cooling isn’t exclusive to race cars or track-focused builds — every 911 driver stands to gain from improved thermal efficiency. In developing its high-performance solution for the 992-generation 911, CSF partnered with top-tier tuners, builders, and motorsport teams. Collaborations with renowned names like M-Engineering, ES Motor, and Pacific German have given CSF deep insight into the capabilities and shortcomings of modern Porsche platforms, backed by real-world testing and data-driven product refinement.
  • Extends engine life by maintaining optimal coolant temperatures
  • Maintains power output by enhancing cooling efficiency
  • Eliminates performance limitations during demanding driving conditions
  • Provides peace of mind with superior construction and durability

Design & Engineering

• CSF’s advanced radiator upgrades are engineered to eliminate concerns of overheating. Each unit features an oversized 2-row, 42mm aluminum core, delivering increased fluid capacity and superior heat dissipation. Combined with CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology, these radiators offer a 20–25% improvement in heat transfer. The integration of ultra-efficient 5mm multi-louvered fins maximizes airflow through the core, optimizing cooling even under extreme conditions.
  • 20-25% increase in heat transfer efficiency using CSF’s new 5mm fin & exclusive B-tube technology
  • Improved cooling performance to support higher-boost and bigger-turbos as well as 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, mounting system, and A/C Condensers
  • Whether you’re building a street sleeper or prepping for your next track day, CSF’s 992 Radiators are engineered to handle the heat and then some

CSF vs OEM

• OEM Porsche radiators rely on single-row aluminum cores paired with plastic end tanks — a conventional design sufficient for everyday use but lacking in performance margins. Making matters worse, most 992 models were not equipped with a center radiator from the factory, excluding only the Turbo, Turbo S, GT3, and 992.2 GTS Hybrid. As a result, many owners report rising engine temperatures during aggressive driving, with some experiencing overheating after just a few laps on track.

The CSF Advantage

• CSF addresses these limitations with its latest fin technology, utilizing 5mm multi-louvered fins that dramatically increase surface area for thermal exchange while preserving efficient airflow. The 42mm dual-row aluminum core further improves coolant volume and thermal dissipation, while CSF’s patented B-Tube Technology boosts heat transfer by approximately 15% over traditional oval tubing — reaching up to 25% gains when combined with the new fin design. Constructed from TIG-welded, 100% aluminum, the radiators deliver enhanced strength and resilience under high-stress conditions. Installation is fully reversible, with direct factory fitment requiring no cutting or modification.

5mm Core Upgrade

• CSF remains at the forefront of cooling innovation, and the introduction of its 5mm fin design in late 2023 represents a significant leap beyond its already proven 6.5mm architecture. Built to meet the demands of Porsche enthusiasts who push their vehicles to the limit, CSF radiators deliver the consistent performance and reliability required for even the harshest driving environments.

Plug and Play Installation

• Each CSF radiator is designed for direct, hassle-free installation, serving as a seamless OEM replacement. The drop-in fitment allows for installation in approximately 2–3 hours, offering a dramatic improvement in engine cooling efficiency and long-term durability.

Center Radiator Conversion / Addition

• If your 992 911 was not originally equipped with a center radiator, adding one is a relatively simple and straightforward process. The CSF Center Radiator is designed to integrate seamlessly using all OEM Porsche components. Refer below for detailed instructions on how to install a center radiator on your 992.

Please Read Before Purchasing

• Some 992 3.0L Turbo models were equipped with a center radiator from the factory, though this varied depending on trim level, package, and market region. CSF recommends confirming fitment with a Porsche dealer or visually inspecting your vehicle before ordering the CSF Center Radiator. The primary variation between vehicles lies in the center grille. On models not equipped with a center radiator, the grille will be solid and closed off. In these cases, owners can either modify the existing grille or replace it with the appropriate open center grille. Available grille options will differ depending on whether the vehicle is a 992.1 or 992.2, and whether it is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), a specific trim level, or an Aero Package. CSF strongly advises verifying the correct open grille part number with your dealer based on your bumper configuration. For 992 models without a factory center radiator, installation of the CSF is a straightforward process using OEM Porsche components. Please contact us for more assistance about installation on models without a factory center radiator.
