Product Details

The Frostbite FB252 is a high-performance 3-row aluminum radiator engineered for demanding cooling applications. Constructed from aircraft-quality aluminum, this radiator delivers superior heat dissipation while reducing weight by up to 30% compared to traditional copper/brass radiators, making it ideal for performance builds supporting 1000+ horsepower.

Key Features:

  • 3-row aluminum core with 16 fins per inch for maximum cooling surface area and efficiency
  • 100% TIG welded (brazed) seams for leak-proof durability
  • Polished aluminum top and tanks for a custom show-quality appearance
  • Includes Frostbite high-performance 16 lb. radiator cap for increased system pressure
  • Billet aluminum filler neck for strength and style
  • OEM-style brass petcock drain valve for easy coolant changes
  • Aircraft-grade aluminum construction throughout core, fittings, and tanks

Designed for enthusiasts who demand both performance and appearance, the FB252 provides efficient cooling for high-horsepower applications while maintaining a lightweight, polished aesthetic under the hood.
