CSF High-Performance Aluminum Radiator for F131 Ferrari 360

The CSF High-Performance Aluminum Radiator for the Ferrari 360 delivers a true OEM+ cooling upgrade engineered for owners who demand modern performance without compromising factory fitment. Built around a 2-row core featuring CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology, which is stronger, lighter, and up to 15% more efficient than traditional O-type tubes, this radiator maximizes heat transfer through dual liquid laminar flow and ultra-efficient multi-louvered fins that are precisely spec’d and wind-tunnel tested for optimal rejection. Designed as a direct drop-in replacement with CNC-machined OE-style brackets and OE-matched inlet and outlet connections, it installs seamlessly using factory or aftermarket hoses while offering the durability and cooling capacity needed for high-horsepower street builds, track-driven cars, or aging 360s in need of critical component refresh. Developed as the first reputable all-aluminum performance radiator solution for the 360 Modena, Spider, Challenge, and Challenge Stradale, CSF provides a reliable, high-quality upgrade worthy of one of Ferrari’s most iconic mid-engine platforms.

Design & Engineering

• When developing these radiators, CSF identified several features that were essential to Ferrari owners; true OEM fit and finish, increased cooling performance, and improved long-term reliability.
  • 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 factory Ferrari 360 radiators use aluminum cores crimped to plastic end tanks, a design that is acceptable but inherently weaker than CSF’s fully TIG-welded all-aluminum construction. Enthusiasts restoring or refreshing older vehicles understand the importance of upgrading to components engineered for maximum efficiency and durability.

The CSF Advantage

• CSF equips its radiators with the latest 5mm multi-louvered fin technology, significantly increasing heat exchange surface area to improve cooling efficiency and recovery while maintaining excellent airflow. The oversized 2-row, 42mm all-aluminum core increases fluid capacity and overall heat dissipation, and the use of 5mm fins allows for 12 additional cooling tubes and fin rows compared to stock.
• CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology enhances heat transfer by approximately 15% over traditional oval welded tubes. When paired with the new 5mm fin design, overall heat transfer is improved by up to 25%. The high-efficiency multi-louvered fins further optimize airflow through the core for maximum thermal performance.
• The 100% TIG-welded aluminum construction significantly strengthens the radiator, improving durability and longevity under demanding driving conditions. A satin black finish provides a clean OEM-style appearance, and both radiators are engineered as true plug-and-play drop-in replacements.

5mm Core Upgrade

• CSF consistently pursues the most advanced cooling solutions, and its latest 5mm fin technology introduced in late 2023 delivers greater surface area and thermal efficiency than the company’s proven 6.5mm fins. Designed for drivers who push their vehicles hard, these radiators are built to withstand the most challenging environments.

Fits Both Left & Right Sides

• CSF engineered the Ferrari 360 radiators to function on both the left and right sides by incorporating a coolant temperature sensor port on each unit. This port accepts the OE 176322 sensor or any aftermarket sensor using M22x1.5 threading.

Plug & Play Installation

• CSF designed these radiators for seamless replacement of the factory units. With a plug-and-play drop-in fit, installation typically requires only two to three hours and delivers substantial improvements in cooling performance and engine longevity.
