Built for the 7 Second Pass
The CSF8401 No Limit Billet Air-To-Air Competition Manifold replaces the restrictive factory charge cooler on the B58 and S58 platform with a CNC-machined 6061 billet aluminum design built for extreme horsepower. Engineered alongside Custom Plenum Creations and proven on record-setting 7-second quarter mile cars, the CSF8401 removes the integrated charge cooler entirely so builders can run much larger front-mount air-to-air or air-to-water intercooler setups without airflow restriction.
Key Features
- CNC-machined from solid 6061 billet aluminum for extreme strength and durability
- Supports high performance builds exceeding 1500 horsepower
- Internal velocity stacks for optimized airflow and improved cylinder distribution
- CFD optimized plenum and runner design for balanced cylinder to cylinder airflow
- O-ring sealed design for leak free performance under extreme boost
- Large throttle body flange sized for the S55 77mm throttle body versus the 67 to 68mm OEM unit
- Integrated sensor pads for additional data monitoring or vacuum sources
- Includes billet fuel rail for high performance port fueling
- Modular runner ports for secondary port injection, nitrous, or methanol injection
- Thermal rejection competition spacer reduces intake air temperature and heat soak
- Track proven on multiple record setting quarter mile vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CSF8401?The CSF8401 is a billet aluminum competition intake manifold that replaces the factory B58 or S58 charge cooler housing, removing the integrated charge cooler entirely to allow builders to run much larger front-mount intercoolers for horsepower goals exceeding 1500 WHP.
Which engines does the CSF8401 fit?The CSF8401 is designed for the BMW B58 and S58 inline-six platforms, including the M240i, M340i, M440i, GR Supra, and B58 engine swap applications.
Does the CSF8401 include a fuel rail?Yes, a billet fuel rail for a 6-injector top-feed setup is included. An optional second fuel rail for a 12-injector configuration is available separately from CSF.
Can the CSF8401 support an air-to-water intercooler?Yes, the manifold is compatible with both air-to-air and air-to-water external intercooler configurations.
What throttle body does the CSF8401 use?It uses a throttle body flange sized for the S55 77mm unit, which is significantly larger than the factory B58 67 to 68mm throttle body for improved airflow at high boost.
Is professional installation required for the CSF8401?Yes. Installation involves significant engine disassembly and requires a technician experienced with B58 and S58 engine platforms, custom intercooler piping, and fuel system modifications.
Does the CSF8401 support nitrous or methanol injection?Yes. Modular ports on each cylinder runner accept secondary port injection, nitrous, or methanol injection fittings.
What vehicles does the CSF8401 fitment cover?The CSF8401 covers the BMW M240i, M340i, M440i, Toyota GR Supra (B58-equipped), and any vehicle built around a B58 or S58 engine swap platform.
Installation Overview
- Remove the factory intake manifold and charge cooler assembly per platform service procedures
- Transfer or install injectors and sensors to the CSF8401 manifold
- Mount the billet fuel rail and connect fuel lines per the included hardware diagram
- Install the thermal rejection competition spacer between the manifold and cylinder head
- Secure the manifold using the supplied hardware kit per specified torque values
- Connect sensor pads, vacuum sources, and any port injection or nitrous lines as needed
- Install the front-mount air-to-air or air-to-water intercooler and connect charge piping
- Plug all unused NPT ports, verify all connections, and bleed the cooling system if using air-to-water

Forced Induction
Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...

Intercooler Components
Intercooler components let you build, upgrade, or repair your charge cooling system without replacing the entire intercooler assembly. Quality piping, silicone couplers, mounting brackets, and core upgrades make a meaningful difference in keeping intake temperatures low on high-boost builds and daily-driven turbocharged vehicles alike. Popular Upgrades Frequently ordered intercooler components include upgraded silicone coupler hose kits to replace cracked or blow-off-prone rubber hoses, intercooler core upgrades for higher bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin density, aluminum intercooler piping sets that replace restrictive OEM plastic pipes, and universal mounting brackets for custom intercooler positioning on fabricated builds. What causes intercooler components to fail? The most common intercooler component failure points are silicone or rubber couplers that crack or split under repeated heat cycling, plastic OEM piping that becomes brittle over time, and mounting brackets that fatigue...

Intercoolers
An intercooler is the single most important component in a turbocharged induction system for supporting power gains from higher boost. By cooling compressed air before it enters the engine, an upgraded intercooler delivers denser, cooler charge air that allows more fuel to be safely injected and combusted, directly translating to more horsepower and torque. Popular Upgrades Best-selling intercooler upgrades include front-mount bar-and-plate aluminum intercoolers for Subaru WRX and STI, Mitsubishi Evo, and Volkswagen GTI platforms, direct-fit top-mount intercooler upgrades for rotary and compact turbo applications, and heavy-duty intercooler upgrades for Ford Powerstroke and Dodge Cummins diesel trucks where factory coolers are prone to failure under load. What is the difference between bar-and-plate and tube-and-fin intercoolers? Bar-and-plate intercoolers use a stacked aluminum plate construction that is more durable and provides superior cooling efficiency but adds more weight. Tu...
