Does the CSF Condenser for Ferrari 458 also fit the 488, F8, SF90 and 296?

Yes. Ferrari used the same condenser across the 458, 488, F8, SF90, SF90 XX, 296, 849 Testarossa, LaFerrari and Daytona SP3, and CSF built one part number, 8377, to cover all of them, replacing Ferrari OE part number 262836. Coverage runs from the 2010 model year 458 Italia through to the current 296 Speciale and 849 Testarossa.

How much better is the CSF condenser than the factory one?

CSF measures the Condenser for Ferrari 458 at approximately 5 percent more capacity than a brand-new genuine Ferrari condenser. Against the unit actually fitted to most of these cars, which has spent years collecting road debris and losing fin area, the improvement is considerably larger. It also passes more air through to the radiator behind it, so engine coolant temperature benefits as well.

Is it a direct replacement?

Yes. The condenser uses the OE location, laser-cut mounting brackets in the factory positions and an OE-style block fitting connector, so no modification is required. The air conditioning system does have to be recovered, evacuated and recharged as part of any condenser replacement, so plan on a shop with the correct service equipment.

What is the Condenser for Ferrari 458 made from?

It is 100 percent aluminum, built around a dual-pass cross-flow parallel core with a super-high-pressure 16mm 14-channel microtube, 51 rows of cooling tubes and 52 rows of 5.4mm multi-louvered fins. The finish is satin black, and every unit is individually leak and pressure tested before it leaves CSF.

Should I replace the condenser at the same time as the radiators?

On the 458 it is worth doing. The Condenser for Ferrari 458 mounts directly in front of the left-side radiator, so it is fully exposed once the front end is apart for the radiator job. Doing both together means paying the disassembly labor once rather than twice, and a condenser of that age is rarely far from needing attention anyway.

What warranty comes with it?

CSF covers the condenser with a 2-year limited warranty against defects under normal use and service, to the original purchaser of the vehicle it was installed in. Claims require the original part to be returned to CSF for inspection.

Description

CSF OEM+ Performance A/C Condenser for Ferrari 458 / 488 / F8 / SF90 / 296, LaFerrari, Daytona SP3 and 849 Testarossa

CSF’s OEM+ Performance A/C Condenser for Ferrari 458 and every mid-engine Ferrari that shares it does something the factory part never managed: it cools the cabin better and helps the radiator behind it at the same time. Maranello used one condenser design across a remarkable span of cars, from the 458 through the 488, F8, SF90, 296, LaFerrari and Daytona SP3, and CSF built a single replacement to serve all of them. The core is a dual-pass cross-flow parallel design running a super-high-pressure 16mm 14-channel microtube, 51 rows of cooling tubes against 52 rows of 5.4mm multi-louvered fins, and it measures roughly 5% better than a brand-new genuine unit. Against the stone-chipped, half-clogged condenser actually fitted to most of these cars, the gap is far wider than that. It is all aluminum, it costs about half what Ferrari asks, and it drops into the OE location on factory brackets.

Design and Performance

CSF has built A/C condensers for decades and brought the same modern core design and manufacturing to the Ferrari unit. The architecture is parallel-flow, as the original is, but the 16mm 14-channel microtube carries more refrigerant across more internal surface area, and the 5.4mm multi-louvered fin replaces the plain fin Ferrari specified. The result is a Condenser for Ferrari 458 that rejects more heat from the refrigerant and passes more air through to the radiator sitting behind it, so engine coolant temperature benefits alongside cabin temperature. That second effect matters on these cars, where front-end packaging is tight and every degree of intake air to the radiator is worth having.

Construction

The Condenser for Ferrari 458 is 100% aluminum, with laser-cut mounting brackets in the factory positions and an OE-style block fitting connector, finished in satin black so it disappears behind the bumper. Every unit is individually leak and pressure tested before it ships. A condenser lives at the very front of the car and takes everything the road throws at it, which is exactly why the original ones end up bent, blocked and slowly leaking, and why build quality here is not a detail.

Bolt-On and Go

The Condenser for Ferrari 458 drops straight into the OE location with no modification. On the 458 it sits directly in front of the left-side radiator, which means the labor is already paid for if the radiators are coming out. Replacing a fifteen-year-old condenser while the front end is apart costs a fraction of doing it as a job of its own later, and the air conditioning system has to be recovered and recharged either way.

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.
