CSF Bmw Gen 1 B58 Charge Air Cooler Manifold - Raw Billet

Elevate the performance of your BMW Gen 1 B58 with the CSF Charge Air Cooler Manifold, a cutting-edge upgrade designed for tuners and enthusiasts pushing the limits of power and reliability. As more BMWs equipped with the B58 engine reach higher horsepower levels—often exceeding 600—there’s a growing need for robust motorsports-grade products that enhance cooling and fuel delivery. The CSF "Super Manifold" stands out as the ultimate all-in-one solution, offering the largest feature set available in the industry. One of the standout features of this manifold is the Thermal Rejection Spacer, engineered specifically for drag and roll racing scenarios. During staging, vehicles can experience extreme heat soak due to insufficient airflow over the front mount heat exchanger while idling, leading to higher starting intake air temperatures (IATs) on subsequent runs. The CSF manifold, constructed from billet aluminum and 100% TIG welded, provides superior strength to withstand higher boost pressures compared to the OEM plastic manifold. Aluminum’s higher thermal conductivity allows for improved heat transfer between the cylinder head and the manifold, while the Thermal Rejection Spacer minimizes heat transfer between these components, absorbing heat from the cylinder head and dissipating it rather than transferring it to the manifold. Designed with performance in mind, the CSF Charge Air Cooler Manifold includes an extensive hardware kit featuring brackets, bolts, washers, and fittings for a straightforward installation process. This industry-exclusive feature, developed in collaboration with VF Engineering, comes vacuum packaged with a Bill-of-Materials List (BOM), exploded diagrams, and easy-to-follow installation instructions tailored for mechanics, technicians, racers, and DIY enthusiasts alike. While the OEM charge air cooler manifold is sufficient for mildly modified vehicles, it tends to struggle under the demands of increased power, turbo upgrades, and advanced fueling systems like port injection. The CSF manifold addresses these weaknesses, particularly in high-demand racing conditions, by preventing heat soak that can lead to timing pull and "limp mode" activation due to elevated IATs. Additionally, the OEM manifold is prone to failure at the crimp-on gasket joint, an issue mitigated by the CSF’s robust design. The manifold includes a top-feed port injection system with an integrated fuel rail and provisions for individual nitrous or methanol injection ports, ensuring maximum spray control and uniform distribution across all cylinders. Furthermore, a 3-port vacuum and parameter pad allows for additional measurement capabilities or vacuum sourcing, enhancing the manifold’s functionality. CSF has also prioritized user convenience with a recessed design that allows easy access to the spin-off oil filter without needing to remove the manifold, a thoughtful feature that addresses airflow issues through a counterbalanced design tested with SolidWorks CFD software. To ensure consistent airflow and cooling performance across all cylinders, an air inlet divider is welded into the manifold’s inlet tank, developed through extensive simulations to guarantee optimal performance. Additionally, breather ports for the inlet and outlet of the water tanks facilitate temperature measurement and bleeding procedures, enhancing overall usability. The Thermal Rejection Competition Spacer is made from KIYLEX, a revolutionary high-performance polymer that can withstand temperatures up to 1100°F, insulating the intake manifold from conductive heat transfer. This thermal barrier helps reduce manifold temperatures, improve charge air cooler efficiency, and combat heat soak. The CSF Charge Air Cooler Manifold is the ultimate performance upgrade for BMW B58 enthusiasts, offering unmatched reliability and efficiency for both street and track applications. Trust CSF to elevate your driving experience to the next level.
