CSF S58 BMW M3 G80 & M4 G82 Charge-Air Cooler Manifold

With well over 1,500 hours of design, prototype development, machining, and testing, CSF, along with partners Custom Plenum Creations (Australia), has now brought a state-of-the-art CNC machined, high-performance Charge-Air Cooler Manifold to the S58 platform for BMW M3 and M4 models. This product solves what has been commonly known as a weak link of an otherwise impressive new engine platform. 

With the larger and more efficient water-to-air intercooler performance, lower pressure drop across the system, included fuel rail, kit for top feed port injection, and several other industry-leading features, the CSF S58 Manifold will allow M3 and M4 owners to maximize the performance of their vehicles and push the limits further than what has been previously possible with this new platform.

The OEM water-cooled charge air cooler intake manifold for the S58 engine is adequate in cars with little or no modifications, but starts to really show an apparent weakness in cars that have bolt-on modifications, turbo upgrades, increased fueling (such as port injection), and performance tuning. Also, the OEM intercooler system has been known to suffer from heat soak in demanding racing conditions such as time attack, endurance racing, drag racing, and drifting, as well as spirited driving on the street. This can cause the car to pull timing out of the engine due to high intake air temperatures (IATs), and then can cause “limp mode” once temperatures reach a certain threshold, as the vehicle’s ECU will cut power to protect the engine.
