CSF High Performance Heat Exchanger McLaren MP4-12C, 650S, 675LT
The CSF 8213 High Performance Heat Exchanger is a direct-fit upgrade for the McLaren MP4-12C, 650S, and 675LT equipped with the M838TE twin-turbo V8 engine. The factory front-mount heat exchangers are a known limitation under high boost and sustained load. CSFs engineering team developed a more efficient core that fits within the original housing pods, dramatically lowering intake air temperatures (IATs) and providing faster recovery from heat soak. This results in more consistent power delivery, reduced detonation risk, and improved overall performance during aggressive driving or track sessions.
Key Features
- High-Efficiency Core Superior heat rejection compared to the factory heat exchangers
- Direct-Fit Design Fits inside the original factory housing pods with no modifications required
- Lower IATs & Faster Recovery Reduces intake air temperatures at higher boost levels and recovers quicker from heat soak
- Premium Construction Built to CSFs rigorous standards for durability and performance
- Improved Power Consistency Helps maintain peak performance during extended high-load operation
