CSF 2005-2006 Ford GT High-Performance All-Aluminum Heat Exchanger

CSF has been at the forefront of developing cooling systems for classic and enthusiast vehicles that either no longer have OE support or are incredibly expensive and hard to find. Many Ford GT owners know or have discovered the Radiator, Heat Exchanger, and optional Transaxle (transmission oil) Cooler were discontinued by Ford several years ago. These discontinued parts are nearly impossible to find used. If you can find them, the prices are staggering.

CSF worked closely with both Boden Autohaus and Throtl to develop the full cooling suite for their 2025 SEMA Ford GT Builds. Each part was modeled and improved using the most advanced cooling technology. The result is a modern cooling suite that is a drop-in fit upgrade for the Radiator, Supercharger Heat Exchanger, and Transaxle Cooler Kit. These coolers will keep your Ford GT running at peak performance under the most extreme circumstances and are built to last.

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.
