If you ever have problems with the new unit, whether it's out of warranty or not, please PM me, and i'll take care of you.

Our warranty is 2 years, but I build out products to last much longer, and I hope that all our products last as long as the car.
- I'm not a salesmen coming on the forums to make excuses, and I hope every customer is happy with our products and customer service.

- this goes for anyone who has had a bad experience with our original radiator.

No, was not me.
You and I spoke via email earlier this year (around april) as you (CSF) were on backorder with your stock and only Z1 had one left. So I had to buy from them, had my wedding and needed the car for photos at the wedding and could not wait on a replacement.

I have always liked my CSF radiator and until the leak had no problems. Was one of the first with boost and CSF and instantly saw my temps drop 10 degrees after install and driving. Only thing I wish you guys would do is either make an even bigger unit or 'upper' end one. I think this triple pass might do it, but it looks to be same capacity and having more might be allow it to do even better.

I was over on the other side, running the Auto-X course with MSCC. Probably the best $20 dollars on Auto-X I've ever spent - seeing all the road course cars going around was quite fun. Shoulda known to find your car on the paddock and introduce myself!

Anyhoo, back on topic.

Very cool, I will be back in October so if you go let me know and we will get together. That place is like Disney to me! The picture were Sunday morning during my check ride, I passed so I get to do it solo now!

Definitely man! That was my first time visiting Sebring, the place is incredible. I was supposed to go with a few friends for the 12hrs race a year ago, but couldn't make it.

I'll see if any HPDE events will line up for me that month.

I can report to you now that the CSF Triple pass is showing some amazing gains on my N/A Z. Temps were in the 225-230* range just driving around town, never going above 5K rpm. Now with the triple pass radiator temps stay around 180-195*. This is in 105* Arizona ambient temps. Also when coasting down a hill or any kind of letting off the gas the temps drops very quickly. As an added bonus the A/C is ridiculously cold now...45* to be exact lol

by the way, this further proves the OEM 12+ oil cooler is completely useless. Oil temps have not dropped at all. You would think a 30+*F reduction in coolant temp would affect it but nope. FI oil cooler goes on Monday!

I just got back from the shop with the new CSF 3-Pass radiator and the FI oil cooler. In typical LA fashion, I had to sit in a lot of traffic on a very warm day. I never saw oil temps go above 195F and the water dot never moved. Unfortunately, unlike Super Werty, my A/C is not working at all. So one problem solved, one more to fill its place.

Super Werty · 07-12-2014, 06:36 PM

To add to my review I got the Fast Intentions 34R Oil cooler on and now everything is running cool.

We had some slightly cooler weather(87*F) show up so last night I went for a drive. Water temps stay at 182-184* driving around town. Got on it a few times and it jumped up to 195* and then very quickly drops back down to 182-184*

Oil temps never went above 182* Love this set up!

CSF - have you seen any failures in the AC cores? I am trying to figure out what to check first.

Are you sure they refilled the freon? You have to empty it to install the radiator.

Yep. Positive. And they even tested the AC to make sure it worked. But by the time I picked the car up, it seems like it must have lost the charge.

I should add that I tested the compressor/clutch and that appears to be working fine.

Are the lines installed correctly? They kinda have to snap in or they can leak. If you've got a refrigerant leak you should be able to see it. The oil in it will be very visible.

it's real green. when we did mine it held a charge for about an hr and then the quick disconnect fitting popped off and emptied the system. green **** everywhere. pulled it back apart paid extra attention to the fittings and recharged it. held after that. I would think of you had a pin leak or something it would have been noticed when they pulled a vacuum on it.
