CSF 8381 A/C Condenser for PORSCHE 911 GT3 / Carrera / Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S (996) / Boxster / Boxster S (986)

CSF 8381 A/C Condenser for PORSCHE 911 GT3 / Carrera / Carrera 4 / Carrera 4S (996) / Boxster / Boxster S (986)

The CSF 996/986 condenser utilizes a modern, OE-style parallel flow core design. However, CSF's 18mm 8-channel microtube core offers superior flow and increased surface contact area for more efficient heat dissipation. The 8mm multi-louvered fins further enhance heat transfer compared to the standard fin design of an OE condenser.

Collectively, these advancements result in more efficient refrigerant heat dissipation and increased airflow to the radiators located behind the condenser.

Key Differences & Benefits:

• Increased Efficiency: Approximately 5% better performance than a new OE condenser and significantly better than a used, clogged, or dirty unit.
• Greater Airflow to Radiator behind the condenser for improved engine cooling.
• Enhanced Durability: Stronger construction and higher quality materials.
• More Affordable: Approximately half the price of a new Porsche OE condenser.

Whether you are restoring a 996 or 986 to show-car condition or upgrading your weekend driver for enhanced comfort, the CSF OEM+/Performance A/C condenser is the obvious choice. It's a completely plug-and-play installation with no modifications required, offering superior efficiency and long-term durability.
