Radiator: CSF or Mishimoto?

CSF Inc.

Hey guys!

It's been a while since CSF was last active on the forum. saw this thread, and we wanted to add our 2 cents in hopes of helping the Z community with information on which cooling system to purchase if you are looking for an upgrade over the stock one.

Here is my unbiased opinon on what is available in the market.

PWR
pros: Good quality product, and they are the actual manufacture of their product. Used by Nissan motorsports teams
cons: manufactured in Austrialia so it is expensive + expensive shipping cost, no condenser available due to core thickness of radiator resulting in not being able to use AC

GTM
pros: large capacity + intergrated oil cooler
cons: modifications needed to install resulting in higher labor cost, not manufactured by GTM, very expensive (epesically when adding SPAL fans)

Mishimoto
pros:
cons: not manufactured by Mishimoto, made in China by contracted supplier

CSF
pros: B-tube technology (15% more efficient tubes) - used in GT-R,
- endorsed by Nissan Performance and Nissan USA - used in "Project 370Z"
- endorsed and sold by Z1 and Stillen
- all-aluminum drain-plug
- Available for both automatic and manual transmissions. (CSF#7012, #7011)
- detachable condenser component for serious racing
- wind tunnel, vibration, thermal cycle, salt spray, and burst pressure testing
- We actually manufacture all of our own product
- #1 Supporter of the Z community - it was great talking to everyone who stopped by our booth at Z-Nationals.
