If you're looking for a radiator that really gets the job done, you can't go wrong with a CSF. These guys have been in the game for over 50 years, and they know their stuff. With a lineup that covers over 3,200 applications, from Acura to Volkswagen, you can bet there's a CSF radiator that fits your ride perfectly.
What I love about CSF is that they stick to the basics but do it really well. Whether your current radiator is Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, or Aluminum, CSF has got a replacement that matches the original materials and style. We're talking about top-notch aftermarket radiators built to last. They’ve sold over 30 million units worldwide, so you know they’re trusted by a lot of folks.
These radiators are engineered with high performance in mind. Each unit is wind tunnel tested to ensure it provides the cooling you need, especially if you’re pushing your car a bit harder than stock. The OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core construction means you're getting something durable and effective. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins, and they're glass-filled for extra strength. That’s not just marketing fluff; it’s real durability.
When it comes to the nitty-gritty, here’s what you can expect:
- Type: Crossflow
- Rows: 1
- Core Length: 21 5/8"
- Core Width: 15 1/4"
- Core Thickness: 5/8"
- Core Material: Aluminum
- Tank Material: Plastic
- Inlet Location: Upper Driver Side
- Outlet Location: Lower Passenger Side
- Inlet Diameter: 1 3/8"
- Outlet Diameter: 1 5/16"
- Oil Cooler: 11" (high-efficiency Concentric Type)
For fitment, you’re looking at:
- Hyundai Elantra 2011-2017
- Kia Forte 2014-2016
Just a heads up: you’ll want to use a Mini, 16 psi cap with this radiator. And while you're swapping out the old one, take a moment to check that pressure cap for any signs of wear. It’s the little things that can make a big difference in keeping your engine cool.
In a nutshell, if you want a solid radiator that won’t let you down and fits your Hyundai Elantra or Kia Forte like a glove, CSF has you covered. It's a smart choice for anyone serious about keeping their ride running smoothly.

If the radiator is installed and is returned deformed (bulging tanks, warped core etc.), this is an indication that the radiator is the victim of some other problem and not the cause.
