The factory water-to-air charge cooler manifold is the well-known weak link of the Gen 2 B58. It copes on a standard car, but add bolt-ons, bigger turbos, port injection or a tune and it quickly heat soaks – pulling timing and, in extreme cases, triggering limp mode. CSF, together with VF Engineering and Custom Plenum Creations, spent over 1,500 hours developing this CNC-machined billet aluminium replacement.
With double the cooling capacity of the OEM core, a significantly lower pressure drop, a top-feed port injection fuel rail and provisions for nitrous or methanol, the CSF manifold lets B58 owners push well beyond the limits of the factory part – customer cars are already exceeding 1,000whp.
Please note: available in Raw Billet Aluminium, Thermal Dispersion Black or a Custom Finish of your choice. Custom finishes are made to order – please contact us to confirm your colour/finish and lead time before ordering.
Please note: each manifold is pressure tested at 60–70 PSI for 2–3 minutes during quality control. The manifold is not designed to operate above 60 PSI – running above this is at the owner's risk and will void the CSF limited warranty.
Please note: the KIYLEX Thermal Rejection Competition Spacer (CSF-8200S) is available separately as an upgrade for this manifold.
Features
- Motorsport-grade bar and plate air-to-water intercooler core
- Double the capacity of the OEM core – 12 rows of water cooling vs. 6 on the OEM unit
- Significantly lower pressure drop across the core compared to OEM
- Designed in SolidWorks using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
- Integrated air divider in the inlet tank distributes airflow evenly across the core
- Easy access to the spin-off oil filter – no need to remove the manifold for oil changes
- Counter-balanced design for optimised airflow around the oil filter recess
- Integrated sensor pad with three 1/8" NPT ports for additional parameters
- Optional fuel rail included for top-feed port injection
- Individual port injection bungs on each cylinder runner (supplied pre-plugged)
- Individual 1/8" NPT ports on each runner for nitrous or methanol injection, for even spray distribution
- 1/8" NPT breather ports on both inlet and outlet water connections for easy bleeding
- Billet aluminium, 100% TIG welded – withstands far higher boost than the OEM plastic manifold
- Plug-and-play design, no modifications required
