CSF’s bolt-in high-performance supercharger heat exchanger for the 2005-2006 Ford GT. A 31mm aluminum core with 32% more cooling tubes than OEM and CSF’s B-Tube Technology drops intake air temps under boost while mounting in the factory location.

CSF High-Performance Heat Exchanger for Ford GT

CSF developed this 3-piece cooling package after Boden Autohaus added a Ford GT to their collection and found that the factory radiator, heat exchanger, and transaxle cooler had been discontinued by Ford and were nearly impossible to source on the used market. Working with Boden Autohaus and Throtl, CSF debuted the kit on both shops’ Ford GT SEMA 2025 builds before public release.

CSF vs OEM

• Front-mount heat exchangers function as radiators for the charge-air-cooling system, and because they sit stacked in front of the main radiator, their design, flow characteristics, and thermal output have to be carefully balanced against the rest of the cooling package. CSF specializes in air-to-water systems and is the first-choice supplier for heat exchangers on some of the fastest, most powerful race cars in the world. The factory unit on the Ford GT is reasonably matched to the OEM charge-air-cooler system, but cooling technology has moved considerably since the early 2000s; that gap is most noticeable for owners running larger superchargers or pushing higher power levels. The CSF Supercharger Heat Exchanger addresses it with a 1-Row 31mm aluminum core featuring CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology, which improves heat transfer by approximately 15 percent over conventional oval welded tubes. With roughly 32 percent more cooling tubes and fins than the OEM unit and super-efficient multi-louvered fins throughout, the CSF heat exchanger significantly outperforms the factory unit in heat dissipation while improving airflow to the radiator behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this fit both 2005 and 2006 Ford GT?
  Yes. The heat exchanger fits both 2005 and 2006 Ford GT models. It mounts in the factory location and requires no modifications.
• Do I need a larger supercharger to benefit from this unit?
  No. The CSF heat exchanger is a worthwhile upgrade for any 2005-2006 Ford GT. The benefits become even more pronounced for owners running larger superchargers or pushing higher power levels.
• How is this different from the OEM unit?
  The CSF heat exchanger has approximately 32 percent more cooling tubes and fins than the OEM unit and uses CSF’s B-Tube Technology for roughly 15 percent better heat transfer, resulting in a noticeable drop in intake air temperatures under load.
• Should I pair this with the CSF radiator?
  For best results, yes. The CSF #7245 Radiator and #8365 Heat Exchanger were engineered to work together as a complete charge-air and engine cooling upgrade.
