CSF 914-6 Engine Oil Cooler
Putting a "six" in your 914? We put these on every engine we build gang. There's no telling what's inside your 55 year old oil cooler and, the extra 10% in cooling with a brand new unit is just straight-up worth it. No more hacked together 911 coolers for your 914-6.
The original Behr cooler, designed in the 1960s, has certainly aged over the years. While it's possible to ultrasonically clean and refurbish these coolers, there’s a significant risk they’ll start leaking after the cleaning process. The old, brittle materials can fail due to the cleaning, or the removal of corrosion and debris may expose leaks that were previously hidden. But the core isn’t the only problem. The OEM cast base plate that mounts to the block can become warped over time or suffer from aging porosity, preventing the seals from seating correctly and causing leaks.
The CSF 8260 Oil Cooler is specifically crafted for Porsche 914-6 (1970-1972) and 914 (1970-1976) models with a six conversion, offering a modern upgrade over the original Behr cooler. Its 7-tube, 8-row tube-and-fin core boosts cooling by ~10% over new OEM units and up to 25% over worn ones, with higher flow and less pressure drop. Featuring a CNC-machined billet aluminum base plate for a leak-free seal, it’s TIG-welded and finished in a titanium Cerakote for heat dissipation and durability. Made in the USA, it’s a drop-in fit (replaces OEM 022 117 021 A/B), ideal for street or track. Includes O-rings.
