Technical Description of CSF Part Number 2997
This radiator features a down flow design, directing coolant from the top to the bottom of the core, which is beneficial for certain engine layouts like the Nissan 350Z. The aluminum core measures 29 1/16 inches wide by 15 13/16 inches long, with a thickness of 5/8 inch, providing a balance between cooling capacity and compact size. Plastic tanks reduce weight and resist corrosion, while the inlet and outlet diameters (1 7/16 inches right inlet, 1 3/8 inches left outlet) match OEM specifications for straightforward installation. The integrated high-efficiency concentric oil cooler (14 3/4 inches) supports additional engine cooling needs.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for leaking or damaged Nissan 350Z radiators
- Resolving engine overheating issues due to radiator core failure
- Upgrading cooling system components to maintain factory performance

- Supporting engine oil temperature control with integrated oil cooler
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the CSF 2997 radiator, ensure compatibility with Nissan 350Z mounting points and hose connections.
