Enhancing Performance: The CSF High-Performance Radiator for the GR Corolla & GR Yaris
The Toyota GR Corolla has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after hot hatches, particularly among track enthusiasts. Its 1.6L three-cylinder turbocharged engine, shared with the GR Yaris, is a remarkable feat of engineering, offering substantial potential for performance upgrades. Coupled with an advanced AWD system, precision suspension, and a rigid chassis, the GR Corolla is nearly the perfect track machine.
Following the overwhelming success of the CSF Intercoolers, CSF has responded to high demand by introducing a cutting edge performance radiator. As more enthusiasts increase the power output and push their GR Corolla and GR Yaris to the limit, the factory cooling system struggles to keep up. CSF’s latest innovation, the GR Corolla / GR Yaris High-Performance All Aluminium Radiator, is designed to prevent overheating and maximise efficiency under extreme conditions.
Innovative Design & Engineering
CSF is renowned for its expertise in developing high-performance cooling systems for Toyota vehicles. With extensive feedback from customers, race teams, and development partners, CSF possesses unparalleled experience in optimising Toyota cooling solutions.
As enthusiasts continue to push the GR Corolla and GR Yaris beyond factory limits, the stock radiator has demonstrated its shortcomings. High performance modifications, such as larger turbochargers, generate significantly more heat that must be effectively dissipated. Additionally, the factory intercooler is positioned directly in front of the radiator, transferring its heat load through the system. In racing conditions, this can lead to excessive coolant temperatures and potentially trigger limp mode, compromising performance.
CSF vs. OEM: A Superior Cooling Solution
The OEM Toyota radiator features a single row aluminium core with plastic end tanks. While adequate for stock configurations, it has room for improvement. The factory core measures just 27mm thick, limiting cooling capacity.
By leveraging data from professional race teams and development partners, CSF has engineered the ideal high performance replacement. The CSF radiator incorporates advanced 5mm fin technology, which significantly enhances heat dissipation while maintaining optimal airflow. A substantial upgrade over the stock unit, the CSF radiator boasts a 2-row, 42mm aluminum core, increasing fluid capacity and vastly improving heat dispersion. Additionally, CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology enhances heat transfer by approximately 15% compared to standard oval welded tubes. The high efficiency multi louvered fins further optimise airflow, ensuring peak cooling performance.
CSF’s 100% TIG-welded aluminium construction enhances durability, making it highly resistant to extreme driving conditions. The right side tank includes a pre plugged 1/8th NPT temperature sensor port for enthusiasts seeking precise coolant temperature monitoring. Additionally, pre installed foam strips on the top and bottom end plates improve airflow sealing, further optimising cooling performance. The radiator is designed as a true plug-and-play solution, requiring no modifications for installation.
Cross Compatibility: GR Corolla & GR Yaris
CSF’s engineering team has meticulously designed this radiator to be compatible with both the GR Corolla and GR Yaris. While the factory radiators for these models differ slightly, CSF’s innovative design ensures seamless fitment for both vehicles. This cross compatibility is highly advantageous for dealers and distributors, as they can stock a single part number for both applications.
