CSF Mercedes AMG Two piece cooling package

Design & Engineering

Front mount heat exchangers are effectively radiators for the charge-air-cooling system. With them stacked in front of the radiator, careful consideration must be given to their design, flow, and effects on the rest of the cooling system. CSF specializes in Air-to-Water systems and is the #1 choice for heat exchangers for some of the fastest and most powerful race cars in the world.

CSF vs OEM

The factory heat exchanger is fairly well matched to the charge-air-cooler system. However, there is room for improvement as cooling technology has improved quite a bit since the early 2000s when these cars were designed. This is especially true for GT owners who have upgraded to a larger supercharger.

The CSF Supercharger Heat Exchanger features a 1-Row 31mm aluminum core with CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology. The B-Tube design increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. With ~32% more cooling tubes & fins, the CSF Radiator significantly outperforms the OEM unit in heat dissipation. In addition, the super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible performance and airflow to the radiator behind it. The heat exchanger mounts in the factory location and requires no modifications or cutting.

The TIG-Welded 100% All Aluminum construction increases the overall strength of the radiator. This improves durability and longevity so you can be confident this will be the last heat exchanger you will need to buy for your Ford GT.

Full Cooling Suite

The CSF High-Performance Supercharger Heat Exchanger is part of the full Ford GT Cooling Suite. It can be paired with the OEM radiator or with the upgraded CSF #7245 High-Performance Radiator for ultimate cooling performance. If you’re having heat issues with your transmission, add on the CSF #8375 Transaxle Cooler Kit. The kit features a cooler with 90% more core volume and is nearly twice as thick as the original optional Ford Motorsports unit.

After the launch of our #1 selling Front Mount Heat Exchanger for W205 Mercedes AMG, we saw a lot of demand for more Mercedes-Benz products, so we are planning an entire lineup of new MB cooling systems.

It's common knowledge that AMG vehicles suffer from heat soak issues, especially those in warmer climates – Our next phase will eliminate this, as we continue to upgrade the radiator heat exchangers for all of the most popular AMG platforms.

Coming off the industry-leading Front Mount Heat Exchanger for W205 AMG, we've decided to start off our expansion of our High-Performance Mercedes-Benz cooling systems with complementary Auxiliary Radiators for the W205 AMG.

The High-Performance All-Aluminum Auxiliary Radiators work in conjunction with the rest of the cooling system to reduce temperatures throughout. This is critical as the Auxiliary Radiators not only help keep engine water temperatures lower, but also are utilized as the heat exchange medium in the air-to-water charge-air coolers for the turbocharger system to reduce intake air temperatures (IATs). Overall, the Auxiliary Radiators larger capacity prolongs the heat soak threshold and assists in keeping temperatures in optimal ranges.

⚠ Fitment Notes

C63 Models With Larger Wheels/Tires (i.e. 20″ Wheels) may require the rear plastic duct/shroud to be trimmed approximately 1 inch (25mm). Because the CSF Auxiliary Radiators are almost 1 inch (25mm) thicker than the factory unit, the ducts/shrouds are moved by that amount.

AMG GT Models may require the rear duct/shroud to be trimmed or removed.
