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 Super Manifold will allow B58 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 B58 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.
CSF conducted extensive testing on the dyno with R&D partner VF Engineering to ensure performance improvements before going into production with the new manifold. They performed over 50 dyno runs on the same car, on the same day, in relatively hot ambient conditions (~90°F) comparing the performance of the CSF Charge-Air Cooler Manifold to the OEM. Both the CSF and OEM cooler went through roughly 25 back-to-back dyno pulls every 30 seconds to measure the performance of the car overtime, resistance to heat soak, recovery time, and the effect on the turbo system duty cycle.
Local R&D partner and contender for both BimmerChallenge and the TRD Time Attack Series, Studio RSR, has been working with CSF and testing the new manifold off and on the track.
Reputable automotive website and performance part testing specialist, MotoIQ, was on site to witness and assist in organizing the testing to validate the accuracy of the claims made by CSF on the improvements and benefits of the upgraded manifold. The results were published independently by MotoIQ and are now available on their website.
Summary of Testing:
- Faster recovery of intake air temperatures
- ~30°F reduction of intake air temperatures (IAT’s) compared to OEM
- Less pressure drop compared to OEM core
- Puts less stress on the turbo system, allowing more boost to be made at higher targets
- Avoided going into limp mode after prolonged demanding conditions, simulating motorsports use
- On a stage 2 car with bolt-on upgrades, making ~400whp, comparing dyno run 19 between CSF and OEM, an increase of ~26whp and 11wtq were achieved. The performance increase and delta between CSF and OEM will be bigger as power is increased in the vehicle.
"Interestingly enough, the CSF/VF manifold had much lower inlet temperatures, right about 230 degrees or 30 degrees cooler than the stock manifold while the outlet temperatures were about 6 degrees cooler, under 125 degrees. There is a lot more to the data that first meets the eye. The lower inlet temperatures are an indicator that the restriction to airflow across the core is much lower. This is to be expected of the larger frontal area of the core. With less intake restriction, the compressor of the engine’s turbo is running much farther away from the surge line in a more efficient area of the compressor map. With greater efficiency, the turbo is heating the intake air a lot less. Since the compressor is working much more efficiently, the turbine doesn’t need to recover as much power from the exhaust stream to produce the same boost and thus there is less backpressure. This in turn increases the engine’s total volumetric efficiency. This is a synergistic cascade that will increase power and reduce strain on the engine and its components which has a much more profound impact than just lower intercooler outlet temperatures." - Mike Kojima, Owner of MotoIQ.com
Individual Nitrous / Methanol Injector Ports:
On the outlet tank, each cylinder runner has a 1/8th NPT port which can be used for nitrous or methanol injection (a popular power modification on the B58 engine). The CSF manifold allows for maximum spray control and even spray distribution throughout the engine. A nitrous system set-up specifically for the CSF manifold will be coming soon from industry leaders Nitrous Express.
A handful of cars at TX2K had blown their engines due to the way their nitrous systems were plugged into their vehicles. With the OEM plastic manifold, a single spray system is most commonly used as threading into plastic to insert an injector node is already very difficult to install properly. The single fogger system, more often than not, will create unequal distribution of spray in the engine, either giving some cylinders too much or too little spray. This will increase the chance of severely damaging the engine.
Top Feed Port Injection with Included Fuel Rail:
An extruded fuel rail is included with the CSF manifold. It can be attached to the outlet side of the manifold. The AN-8 fuel rail comes with feed and return -8 internal hex plug fittings from Radium Engineering for a plug and play installation.
On the side of the manifold inlet, CSF has included a 3 port pad into the machining of the tank. This can be used to measure additional parameters or as an additional vacuum source. These three 1/8th NPT ports can be plugged with the included hardware kit if they are not used.
Easy Access to Spin-Off Oil Filter With Counter Balanced Design:
Imagine having to remove your manifold every time you wanted to change your oil, especially if your vehicle is used in motorsports where oil changes occur more often. CSF thought of its customer base during the design phase and have incorporated a recessed design towards the back of the manifold that for allows easy access to the spin-off oil filter. A counter balanced design protrusion above the recess was simulated in SolidWorks CFD software to ensure smooth air delivery into the rear of the core for the best possible cooling effect.
Air Inlet Divider:
Another exclusive feature of the CSF manifold is the inclusion of an air divider welded into the inlet side tank of the manifold. With the length of the design, the engineers at VF Engineering wanted to make sure that the volume and velocity of air received to the back of the manifold to cylinder areas four, five, and six would be equal to the airflow passed through the front half of the manifold for cylinders one, two, and three. After extensive simulations in SolidWorks CFD software, an air divider was added to the design to ensure the best possible and equal cooling performance to each cylinder of the engine.
Breather Ports for Inlet/Outlet of Water Tanks:
Two 1/8th NPT ports are located on the top of the back water plate. These can be used to measure inlet/outlet water temps as well as used as breather ports to help in the bleeding procedure to ensure all air has been cleared from the water system. 1/8th NPT plugs come included in the supplied hardware kit. Please follow OEM BMW or Toyota bleeding procedure which takes roughly 15 minutes to complete.
Hardware Kit, Well Thought-Out Instruction Manual & The Ability to Install OEM and OEM-Style Engine Covers:
Included in the supplied hardware kit is several brackets, bolts, washers, and mounting posts to be able to install the OEM and OEM-style engine covers. This is an industry-exclusive feature to the CSF x VF Engineering design, and was extremely difficult to not only engineer, but to manufacture as well. An array of items come vacuum packaged with corresponding letters listed on an easy to use Bill-of-Materials List (BOM) along with exploded diagrams and a simple order of operation procedure list to follow for installation. Made with racers and DIY enthusiasts in mind.
