Ferrari 458 / 488 / F8 / SF90 / 849 / 296 OEM+ Performance A/C Condenser

8377

With production starting in 2009 and ending in 2015, many Ferrari 458s are reaching the age where many major components need to be replaced. So it should come as no surprise that many owners are finding themselves needing to replace their original factory A/C condenser.

With factory replacement condensers costing as much as $1000, it is not surprising many owners and shops are looking for high quality alternatives that will outperform and outlast the OE units. CSF teamed up with Hollywood Mechanic to design an OEM+/Performance A/C Condenser for the Ferrari 458 lineup.

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 Ferrari unit.

Design & Engineering

CSF has decades of experience designing and manufacturing A/C Condensers, and has once again applied modern design and manufacturing techniques to these Ferrari units. The result is a condenser that fits perfectly, outperforms the factory system by a significant margin, and costs less than a new OEM unit.

CSF vs OEM

The Ferrari 458 Condenser utilizes a modern parallel-flow core design similar to the original OE unit. However, the CSF 16mm 14-channel microtube core offers better flow and more surface area contact for superior heat transfer. The 5.4mm 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 radiator behind it.

Why Upgrade?

Whether your original condenser is dinged up or clogged from normal wear and tear, or it's slowly leaking due to age, 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. If you are already replacing the radiators, it is a good time to replace your old condenser while the front end is apart for the job, saving you more on labor costs.
