Description CSF 8381 Performance 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 parallel-flow core design similar to the original OE unit. However, the CSF 18mm 8-channel microtube core offers better flow and more surface area contact for superior heat transfer. The 8mm tall multi-louvered fins further improve heat transfer over the basic fin design of the OE unit. Together, these features offer better heat dissipation for the refrigerant while increasing airflow to the radiators behind them.
Key Differences and Improvements:
- Increased performance: Approximately 5% better performance than a brand-new OEM condenser and much larger improvement over a clogged or dirty unit that has been installed for some time.
- More airflow to the radiator behind the condenser for better engine cooling performance
- Improved Durability: More robust design and construction materials
- Less Expensive: Around half the price of a new Genuine Porsche unit
Whether you are restoring a 996 or 986 to show-car condition or upgrading your weekend toy for more comfort, CSF’s OEM+/Performance A/C Condenser is a no-brainer. It is a straight forward plug-and-play installation, more efficient, and built to last.
