Technical Description of the CSF 2965 Radiator
This radiator features a 5/8 inch thick aluminum core measuring 27 1/2 inches wide and 13 3/4 inches long, designed for down flow coolant movement.

- Resolves overheating caused by inefficient cooling cores
- Addresses coolant flow restrictions due to clogged or corroded tanks
- Improves engine temperature regulation with integrated oil cooler
- Suitable for restoring OEM cooling system performance
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure compatibility with Acura RSX models before installation. The radiator is designed for down flow coolant systems and requires connection to 1 5/16 inch inlet and outlet hoses on the left and right sides respectively. Since the cap is not included, use a compatible CSF cap number 4514. Verify all hose connections and mounting points align with the vehicle’s factory specifications for a secure fit.
