CSF B58 Engine Race X Charge-Air Cooler Manifold
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 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.
Product Details:
- Utilizes a High Performance, Motorsports-Grade Bar/Plate Air-to-Water Intercooler Core

- Replaces OEM Part# 11618647977 & 17101WAA01
NOTE: CSF pressure tests each #8400 manifold at 60-70 PSI for a period of 2-3 minutes during the Quality Control and Inspection process. The CSF manifold is not designed to operate above 60 PSI. Any users who chose to operate their vehicle with the CSF manifold over 60 PSI does so at their own risk. Operation at these pressure levels will void the CSF Limited 2 Year Warranty.

Who should install this, and is it street legal?
It is designed for high-level motorsports competition and racing. Some modifications are required to install, and CSF intend it to be fitted only by a skilled, experienced technician familiar with the B58 engine platform. A hardware and installation kit with picture diagrams and instructions is included.
What is the warranty, and is there a boost limit?
A 2-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, to the original purchaser of the vehicle in which it was installed. Note the pressure limit: CSF pressure tests each #8400 manifold at 60 to 70 PSI for two to three minutes during quality control, and the manifold is not designed to operate above 60 PSI. Running it above 60 PSI is at the user's own risk and voids the CSF limited 2-year warranty.
How much bigger is it than the #8200 Super Manifold?
The core is 25% larger: 15 rows of water cooling, against 12 on the CSF #8200 Super Manifold and 6 on the OEM core. It has been race tested on some of the fastest B58 powered drag cars in the world.
Can I run it single-pass or with an ice box?
Yes. The -16 ORB bung on the front water end plate can be used to change the flow configuration to single-pass and to run an ice-box setup. A CNC machined plug is supplied for dual-pass use.
What is included, and what ports does it have?
The KIYLEX thermal rejection manifold spacer is included, which acts as a thermal barrier between the cylinder head and manifold and is proven to lower manifold temperatures by up to 15%. Also included: a fuel rail for top feed port injection, an integrated sensor pad with two 1/4 inch and three 1/8 inch NPT ports, individual 1/8 inch NPT ports on each cylinder runner for nitrous or methanol, breather ports on both water connections for bleeding, and improved slotted mounting holes on the throttle body side. The finish is raw billet, with optional powder-coating and thermal rejection finishes available as CSF #8400C and #8400B. It replaces BMW part number 11618647977 and Toyota part number 17101WAA01.
