I looked at those but was a little scared about the fitments. I just found about this company so I asked a buddy of mine that works at a parts store about CSF and he told me they been around for years and he sold a bunch of the oem radiators but knew nothing about the performance radiators so I took a chance. I let your guys know how it turns out

From what I've read, you really don't need a high performance radiator if you aren't boosted.

Can you list the 'CSF' stock number of the radiator you purchased?

http://www.csfimports.com/csf_catalog/#

When I look at the CSF 'eCatalog' on their website, I drill down to CSF #2653. That is the CSF stock number that will fit my car (Coupe only). However, their eCatalog website is confusing because they have a radiator #2654 that fits a (Sedan only) for the CL model.

The core size for the (Coupe only) #2653 is 16-3/4 x 28-1/4 x 5/8,

However, the core size for the (Sedan only) #2654 is 15-3/4 x 28-1/4 x 5/8

Acura never made a four door CLS, that's why I'm confused they would have two radiators with an inch difference in core size.

In Addition, when I utilize there OEM cross reference function on the website and use OEM #19010PJE A51, it takes me to the CSF #2654 radiator.

I will call them monday and try to get an explaination as to what is correct.

It's part #3011 for Acura CL coupe 2000-2003. I bought the radiator for the coupe b/c if it fits the cl it fits the tl. I didn't even bother with the cl sedan part # b/c I know they didn't make cl sedan.

If you have dial up the pics may take some time to download. I have not had time to take my car to my mechanic but hopefully next week I can get it over to him. I was waiting to get the parts for 6spd swap so he could do it all at once. I’m thinking more about not doing the 6spd swap and just leave this car as is and get a new car to start doing something to.
