CSF Premium Aluminum Heat Exchanger – Optimized Cooling for McLaren GT, 570S, 600LT, 650S, 720S, and 750S Models

Description

The CSF Turbocharger Heat Exchanger for McLaren GT, 570S, 600LT, 650S, 720S & 750S upgrades your car’s cooling system with a high‑capacity, race‑ready charge‑air cooler. By replacing the stock front‑mounted heat exchangers with a larger 2‑row, 54 mm core, this unit drops intake‑air temperatures more effectively — helping your twin‑turbo V8 breathe cooler, hold power under repeated pulls, and recover faster from heat soak. It’s a bolt‑on, “drop‑in” upgrade that significantly improves charge‑air cooling for track days, tuned builds, or extended spirited driving.

Fitment Notes

• Designed for McLaren 720S, 570S, 570GT, 600LT, 750S, GT, GTS and other M840T / M838TE twin‑turbo V8 platforms.

• Requires two units (left & right heat exchangers) to complete the upgrade.

• Plug‑and‑play: fits into the factory heat‑exchanger “pods” without cutting or custom modification. OEM foam seals and mounting points remain usable.

• The CSF #8212 and #8213 heat exchangers cover all 12C, 650S/675LT, 570S/570GT/600LT, 720S/765LT, 750S, and GT/GTS models. There is some overlap in fitment for the 650S and 675LT models so you should consult a McLaren dealership with your VIN to confirm which coolers your application requires. The difference in the two heat exchanger models is the core height (measurement between tanks). The CSF #8212 (McLaren OE: 13L0183CP or 11L0375CP) are ~59mm (2.3 in) taller than the CSF #8213 (McLaren OE: 11L0241CP).

Included

• Two high‑performance aluminum heat exchanger cores (left & right)

• Metal rock guards (upgraded from OEM plastic guards) for debris protection

• Installation hardware matching OEM inlet/outlet layout

• Pre‑pluggable sensor ports for coolant temperature monitoring

Product Specs

• Core design: 2‑row, 54 mm thick, ultra‑high‑performance core — a major step up from the factory single‑row cooler.

• Fin & tube architecture: Multi‑louvered ultra‑efficient fins + CSF’s proprietary “B‑Tube” cooling tubes for ~15% improved heat transfer over conventional oval‑tube radiators.

• Core flow design: 5‑pass coolant path maximizes dwell‑time and ensures intake‑air‑to‑ambient transfer. 

• Construction: 100% TIG‑welded aluminum for strength and durability; satin‑black finish for OEM+ aesthetics and corrosion resistance.

• Additional: Pre‑pluggable 1/8″ NPT ports for optional coolant temperature sensor; includes rock guards for road/track debris protection.

Product Features

• Superior Charge‑Air Cooling — Dramatically lowers intake air temperatures, leading to cooler, denser intake charge and more stable power output under boost or repeated runs.

• Improved Heat‑Soak Recovery — Larger core and efficient heat transfer allow quicker cooldown between runs, reducing performance drop‑off during track sessions or back‑to‑back pulls.

• Plug‑and‑Play Installation — Designed to fit directly into OEM mounting pods without cutting or modifications — uses factory seals and hardware for clean, simple install.

• Durable, Track‑Ready Construction — TIG‑welded aluminum build combined with rock guards offers long-term reliability under high boost, elevated temps, and road/track debris.

• OEM+ Fitment & Finish — Subtle satin‑black finish blends with factory engine bay look while offering upgraded performance — ideal for street or track McLaren builds.

• Support for High‑Power Builds — Especially useful for turbo upgrades, high‑boost tuning, or any performance modifications where charge‑air cooling becomes a limiting factor.
