Miller released one at least 6 months before CSF, and they wanted $5,000 for theirs. Looks pretty much the same.

So CSF is less than half the price of the Miller. I believe Miller dropped their price to $3,000 after the release of EoS & CSF. However they never return emails or enquiries, so I doubt they sold any other than the promo one.

So $1,995 isn't that bad. If you read what Dinan wrote about cooling and cost, you can see why they never released one. (It would have been far too expensive.)

I think i will end up getting one, when I have finished playing with the suspension. But I might get the Dinan heat exchanger with it, as it is slightly smaller, and I don't want it to foul on the MSR.

Although I don't have any empirical data to prove it. I can definitely feel the difference on the butt dyno. The car responds much smoother now and it really is a day and night difference. Prior to installing the parts, I could tell when the car would start to heat soak and the slight loss of power was evident. Now, pull after pull the car runs more efficiently and I don't feel any lag or hesitation. Definitely a winning combo.

Here are a few pics of my setup. Got it custom powder coated white with the CSF logo pin striped red for a nice pop of color.

Sorry bit cooling doesnt resukt in a smoother car.

Fast4d · 09-11-2018, 08:08 AM

Thinking about the exchanger/radiator upgrade but lack of data keeps me from comitting.

I am at 25psi boost

mcvaughan · 09-11-2018, 08:13 AM

I've got the exchanger and trans cooler on order. Will report back.

mcvaughan · 09-19-2018, 10:28 AM

For reference, here's the CSF heat exchanger vs. stock. It has a lot more capacity!

Test results sure would be nice

Fast4d · 09-20-2018, 03:18 PM

is that the 'race' version or street?

how much trimming needed for the race exchanger?

6SPD GOD · 09-21-2018, 12:22 PM

Definitely my next purchase!

It's the race version with grit guard.

A bit of trimming is required.

I always have a problem with the big pipe, when it's hot (on maximum boost) this pipe came out! Do you have any suggestion how to solve this problem? It's happens 1-2 times each month Max boost pressure is 1.8 bar

M3anPower · 09-26-2018, 03:36 PM

23 months later, any test yet?
How they are selling so much without any data to backup their claims?
Who's buying them?!

Cooler car = more power

only if you're tuned for it.

however, cooler car will equate to more consistent power after repeated runs (or on the track) which is still more important anyway.

True but if only we have datalog from manufacture to see the benefits of the upgrade.
