The 1.6L EcoBoost motor could make some impressive power for the size which made the Fiesta ST a blast to drive. However, the factory cooling system was always a problem with the car having overheating issues even when completely stock. The best solution is a High Performance All-Aluminum Radiator from CSF.
CSF has over 5 decades of experience manufacturing radiators. So when it comes to keeping your engine cool and your Fiesta ST running at its best, a CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator is the obvious choice. Designed to perform on the street or at the track, a performance radiator is a must-have for both high horsepower builds as well as race vehicles which need added cooling performance in motorsports environments. This radiator features a 2-Row core with CSF's exclusive B-Tube Technology: Unlike a regular oval shape "O" type radiator tube, CSF uses a specially engineered tube in the shape of a "B". These "B-tubes" are carefully formed and then brazed over the seam to seal. CSF is able to use thinner and lighter aluminum material (with better cooling efficiency) because this design is actually stronger than normal "O" shape tubes that are welded. The design (inlet in the middle of the tube that is seam brazed) increases the heat transfer surface area of the tubes by approximately 15% over regular tubes - producing the efficiency of two smaller tubes vs. one large tube within the same space criteria. With "B-tubes" you are able to get "dual liquid laminar flow". CSF also uses ultra efficient multi louvered fins that are carefully and precisely aligned to maximize airflow through each radiator core. Fin specifications are carefully measured and calculated for each application, and tested for maximum heat rejection efficiency in our wind-tunnel lab.
The CSF Fiesta ST radiator is a true "Drop-in fit" design requiring no modifications to install. OE style brackets are all CNC machined and welded for the best durability possible. Inlet/Outlet connections are designed to match the OE connections so you can reuse OEM hoses or aftermarket. Trust the cooling experts at CSF for the best performing, highest-quality, and most reliable radiators.

Design & Engineering
The CSF teamed up with industry EcoBoost experts to bring you the best radiator upgrade for the Fiesta ST. They needed a solution to the excessive coolant temperatures many of their customers were seeing. Especially those running their higher power racing engines. CSF engineered the radiator for the best possible performance and fitment. This popular system will now be available through CSF's world wide Dealer and Distributor network.
While the radiator was designed for super high performance race engines, anyone with a Fiesta ST can benefit from upgrading. Even modest power increases or even just hard driving can cause overheating with the factory radiator. The CSF Radiator is the ultimate cooling solution for any Fiesta ST owner.
CSF vs OEM
The original OE radiator from Ford is a plastic tank with a single row aluminum core design. It has always been inadequate for anyone driving their Fiesta ST hard. Even just commuting in really hot weather can cause overheating issues. Turbo cars get hot, and the 1.6L EcoBoost is no exception. Anything you can do to help keep coolant temps in check will improve the longevity of your engine and help the car run smoothly.
CSF's 31mm aluminum core is a huge improvement over the factory core. The combination of a thicker core, better tubes/fins, and increased fluid capacity drastically improves the amount of heat the system can absorb and dissipate. CSF's Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. In addition, the super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible cooling performance.
All CSF Performance Radiators are 100% TIG-Welded All Aluminum construction which increases the overall strength of the radiator. This improves durability and longevity so you can be confident the CSF radiator will keep your Fiesta ST cool for a long time.

Triple Pass Advantage
One of the biggest advantages of the CSF Radiator over the OE Unit is the Triple Pass design. The internal routing of the radiator forces the coolant to flow through the core three times (see diagram below), maximizing heat dissipation and resulting in lower coolant temperatures. This type of configuration ensures more even heat dissipation, reducing hotspots and promoting more consistent cooling.
