Bar/Plate Charge-Air-Cooler Design and Performance Benefits

1. The custom-spec, Air-to-Water, Charge-Air-Cooler, Bar/Plate Core
- The CSF by PWR bar/plate intercooler core is far superior to not only the OEM extruded tube/fin core, but also without a doubt, will outperform any competitor in the performance aftermarket by a long shot. Let's first discuss the competitive advantages of the CSF by PWR core, and then we'll pick apart the competition using their own published information.
- PWR manufactures this core in-house at its tier-1 OEM manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, USA. Each core is built by hand to aero-space level specifications and tolerances. What separates the core technology of PWR from the rest of the world is its ability to source and use extremely lightweight and thin materials in its cores. This allows for the absolute highest level of thermal transfer between the charge-air, and the water used as the medium to absorb the heat out of the charge air from the turbo. When combining the higher efficiency of the core design with an increase in core volume of ~25%, the result is the best-in-class cooling solution for the BMW S58 engine. This is not an opinion, it's science and math. The logs in our testing section prove all of this.
- Because of the delicate and thin material used in the manufacturing of these cores, they're painstakingly slow to build. An experienced factory technician can build only about five of these a day. The cost of labor for the core building is the main factor for the high price of this manifold. A qualified technician who has the skill set to build these types of cores correctly, efficiently, and consistently is not cheap. Furthermore, because of the thinness of the materials used in these cores, it takes an exceptional and experienced welder to be able to weld these cores to the aluminum end tanks properly.
- The temperature control and steadiness required by the welder to not blow through a cladding sheet that is only .3mm thick is on another level when it comes to being an experienced fabricator. Experienced Welders who can do this reliably are extremely expensive in the USA labor market. What you're paying for is not just the actual product, but the labor and skill that is required to make such an exceptional product. I hope that my explanation on all of this really helps people understand why this product is so expensive.

2. The CNC billet manifold design
- CSF has more experience in designing BMW Charge Air Coolers than any other aftermarket company. Between our coolers for the S55, S63, and B58 we have sold thousands of coolers. Each one of those products went through rigorous design, testing, and revisions during and sometimes after release. The CSF #8200 B58 "Super" Manifold is still a best seller and we've taken everything we learned from that manifold and applied it to the S58.
- The CSF manifold is machined from the highest quality billet aluminum and TIG welded to form a solid one piece manifold. There are multiple benefits to this construction method.

3. KIYLEX Thermal Rejection Competition Spacer
- Made from KIYLEX, a patented revolutionary high-performance final stage polymer. KIYLEX is as strong as aluminum and can withstand temperatures up to 1100 degrees F. This spacer is designed to insulate the intake manifold from conductive heat transfer from the cylinder head.
- This thermal barrier reduces manifold temperatures which helps lower Intake Air Temperatures (IATs), improve charge air cooler efficiency, and combats heat soak. CSF is the exclusive distributor for the KIYLEX Intake Manifold Spacer for the S58 and B58 Motor.

4. Plug and Play Port Injection
- Every manifold includes an extruded fuel rail that has been machined to offer maximum flow for any applicable injector size. Whether you want to run standard pump gas, race gas, or E85, the fuel rail will work with your system. The AN-8 fuel rail comes with -8 internal hex plug fitting to use if running an OE style feed only fuel system but can be removed for a fuel system upgrade with fuel return.
- 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).

5. Quality Control, Leak Testing, and Packaging
- One of the main reasons that CSF has partnered up with PWR and PWR North America is their ability to properly QC and leak test all of the CSF products they manufacture. As a fellow Tier-1 OEM Supplier with numerous ISO certifications, CSF is confident in the quality control procedures that PWR has implemented to make sure every single manifold that is approved for final packaging has undergone a strict and thorough check list of items to ensure only the absolute best parts are being shipped to CSF customers around the world.
