CSF High-Performance Radiator for Porsche 924 / 944 Turbo & S / 968 [7088]

CSF High-Performance Radiator for Porsche 924 / 944 Turbo & S / 968 [7088]

CSF acknowledges that while the Porsche 944 may not be the first car associated with the term “classic Porsche,” it holds a special place in the hearts of many enthusiasts. Maintaining optimal engine cooling is a key concern for 944 owners striving to keep their vehicles running like new. With OEM replacements becoming increasingly scarce and limited reliable aftermarket options, CSF collaborated closely with Joe Anselmo Motorsports to develop a solution. CSF is proud to introduce its high-performance all-aluminum radiator and fan & shroud kit, designed specifically for the Porsche 944 (NA and Turbo).

Design & Engineering

• CSF collaborated with Joe Anselmo Motorsports, a leading Porsche service center in Southern California specializing in 944 models, to design a radiator compatible with all Porsche 944 variants. Leveraging Joe’s expertise, CSF developed a high-performance radiator that serves as a true plug-and-play, drop-in fit upgrade. CNC-machined mounting brackets ensure precise fitment, and the OEM-style slip-on inlet/outlet connections allow compatibility with both OEM and aftermarket radiator hoses. Recognizing the common incompatibility between OEM NA and Turbo radiators—due to the Turbo version being approximately one inch taller—CSF based its design on the dimensions of the NA radiator while increasing core capacity to surpass the cooling performance of the OEM Turbo radiator. Featuring a 2-row 42mm core with CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology, the radiator achieves superior cooling without size limitations. To address the height differential for 944 Turbo installations, CSF includes CNC billet spacers, ensuring seamless fitment across all models.

Attention to Detail

• CSF incorporated removable and adjustable crossover pipe brackets on the top of the radiator to accommodate the specific needs of the Porsche 944 Turbo. The Turbo model features a crossover cooling pipe, which distributes coolant from the reservoir to the radiator and from the coolant pump housing to the cylinder head, while the NA version does not require this feature. Traditionally, the factory design relies on zip ties to secure this pipe, preventing it from rattling. With input from Joe Anselmo, CSF added these brackets as a thoughtful enhancement, offering a more refined and secure installation that exceeds the factory setup.

About CSF

Back in 1947, a father and his three sons embarked on a business venture by setting up a small retail shop dealing in automotive parts. The family business blossomed over the years, evolving into an automotive garage specializing in radiator repair, and later, a radiator manufacturing facility. By 1975, the family-owned brand CSF was established, marking a milestone as the first to introduce import applications into the American automotive aftermarket, in line with the influx of Honda, Datsun, and Toyota vehicles. By 2009, the fourth generation of the CSF family joined the business, which had by then become a leading name in the import and domestic radiator and condenser markets, selling over 650,000 units that year despite an economic recession, and totaling over 35 million units to date. CSF’s portfolio expanded to include a diverse range of cooling systems, including commercial trucks, industrial and agricultural applications, marine coolers, intercoolers, pressure caps, and a pioneering Racing & High Performance Division. Today, CSF’s Racing & High Performance Division is renowned for designing and manufacturing advanced, efficient, and reliable cooling systems for a wide array of applications, from high performance all-aluminum direct-fit radiators to custom systems for racecars, power sports, off-road, marine, and industrial use. With over 50 years of experience and more than 40 million cooling systems sold worldwide, CSF has rightfully earned the industry title of “THE COOLING EXPERTS.”
