CSF Race X Charge Air Cooler Manifold - Toyota/BMW / Gen 2 B58 / A90 / A91 / G20 / G22 / G30 / & More

When CSF released the Gen 2 B58 Super Manifold for G-Chassis BMW and Supra, it was a smash hit (CSF #8200/8200B/8200C). It quickly became the go-to manifold for racers and enthusiasts looking to get the most out of their B58. Over the past two years people have been pushing the limits of the Gen 2 B58. While the Gen 2 B58 Super Manifold has held up amazingly to countless 1000hp builds, customers still wanted more. Well the wait is over and CSF is proud to introduce the Race X Charge-Air-Cooler manifold. Another industry leading design by the trio of CSF, VF Engineering, and Custom Plenum Creations.

The Race X Manifold has many of the features and specs as the Super Manifold in addition to some new race focused features. You can read about the development of the CSF Gen 2 B58 Super Manifold in our original press release.

Why Upgrade?

The Race X Manifold is designed for high level motorsports competition and racing applications. The limits of the current Super Manifold are very high and more than enough for many enthusiasts, tuners, and racers. However, those looking to push their Gen 2 B58s to the maximum have been asking for more. Race X features a 25% larger core, additional parameter ports, and an optimized water flow system. The manifold can be used in either dual or single pass configurations and features a new front port that has been optimized for ice box setups. This is the most versatile and largest manifold available on the market and has been race tested on some of the fastest B58 powered drag cars in the world.

Design & Engineering

The massive amount of research and development that went into the Super Manifold paid dividends when developing the Race X Manifold. That combined with all of the real world testing performed by race teams and tuners, CSF had all the information needed to begin the process of designing this brand new manifold. The main goals when designing the new manifold were to increase air flow capacity and cooling capacity. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software CSFs team of engineers worked tirelessly on producing a manifold that would meet the demands of the most serious competitive drivers while offering the most features possible.

Proven Results

Several prototype Race X Manifolds have been tested over the past year on 3 different vehicles. @peppa_aka_skulls A90 Supra, @mrnohesis G20 M340i, and Titan Motorsports A90 Supra. All 3 of these vehicles, tuned by Visconti Tuning, are purpose built drag cars that boast impressive power and 1/4 mile times. The feedback received from these B58 platform leaders has led to many improvements and refinements that CSF is proud to bring to the market with the Race X Manifold.

Peppa Skulls A90 Supra

If you follow drag racing youve probably seen Peppas yellow A90 Supra in person or on social media. Peppa has been racing and upgrading his Supra for years and has broken/set several records in that time. Just last month (Nov. 2023) he set a new fastest time of 7.9 seconds at 176mph in the quarter mile.

Titan Motorsports Supra

One of the biggest names in Supra drag racing, Titan Motorsports has been a major player in the inline 6 world for years. They regularly compete in some of the biggest drag racing competitions in the US and know a thing or two about making a fast car. Their Supra is pushing over 1000 whp and has a personal best time of 8.18 seconds in the quarter mile.

NOHESIs BMW G20 M340i

Normally when you see a fast BMW sedan, its an M car. Mr. Nohesi (Andre) likes to do things a little differently and has been pushing the B58 platform extremely hard. His record breaking and holding M340 (8.8 seconds) boasts over 1000hp. Andres car, tuned by Visconti Tuning, has been a key partner to CSF as his vehicle has made more than 300 passes on the prototype Race X Manifold since TX2K 2023.

Features

Biggest/Best Core in the Industry

Once you get into that 1000hp+ range on the B58, most aftermarket manifolds have reached their limits in terms of flow and cooling capacity. To resolve both limitations, CSF increased the size of the core by 25% over the #8200. The larger core has 15 cooling rows (vs 12 rows on the CSF #8200) and keeps up with the air flow demand while also increasing the cooling capacity.

Dual or Single Pass

CSF specifically designed the front water end plate of the manifold to allow for a single pass setup or ice box setup. This -16 ORB bung found on the front water plate is the largest available on any aftermarket B58 manifold (competitors unit uses a -12 fitting). CSF has teamed up with industry leading fitting and hose experts Brown and Miller (BRMS) to optimize the water flow out of the front plate. CSF recommends using the following BRMS fittings with a maximum fitting angle of 120 degrees.

• BRMS: AC-16-M3-120 (Black)
• BRMS: AC-16-M4-120 (Blue)

BRMS is recommended by CSF because there are no flow restrictions on their fittings and are highly regarded as the best in the motorsport industry.

Top Feed Port Injection with Included Fuel Rail

The CSF Manifold includes an extruded fuel rail which attaches to the outlet side of the manifold. The AN-8 fuel rail comes with a -8 internal hex plug fitting. This allows you to run a returnless fuel system or a full loop setup.

• Fuel rail aperture for each cylinder is an optimized 7mm opening for compatibility with most commonly used high performance injectors
• CSF recommends using Injector Dynamics (ID) injectors for the best performance the most commonly used injector for this engine has been ID model # 1050.34.14.14.6 (qty 6)
• Anodized CNC machined injector hats (qty 6) are included in the supplied hardware kit to accommodate short height injectors aka shorties

Individual Nitrous / Methanol Injector Ports

A 1/83 NPT port on each cylinder runner can be used for nitrous or methanol injection. The CSF manifold allows for maximum spray control and even spray distribution throughout the engine.
