CSF #8131B High-Performance Heat Exchanger for BMW B58/B48
The CSF #8131B heat exchanger is designed specifically for the BMW B58 and B48 engines, providing a crucial upgrade for those pushing the limits of performance. As power levels rise, maintaining optimal charge air temperatures is essential to prevent limp mode and ensure your engine operates at peak efficiency.
Key Features
- Core Dimensions: 524mm Length x 478mm Height x 69mm Width
- Core Type: 68mm 2-Row Core utilizing CSF's B-Tube technology, recognized as the world's largest 2-row core
- Fin Height: 6.5mm Multi-Louvered Fin for enhanced cooling efficiency
- Flow Design: Triple-pass flow structure, ensuring maximum cooling by routing water through the core three times before returning to the manifold charge cooler
- Included Accessories: Detachable rock guard for added protection
- Installation: Direct plug-and-play installation with OEM CNC machined mounting location pins and brackets; no modifications required
- Finish: Semi-gloss black for an OEM+ appearance
Performance Benefits
By replacing the OEM 1-row heat exchanger, which measures only 27mm thick, the CSF #8131B significantly reduces intake air temperatures (IAT). This leads to faster heat soak recovery and improved overall performance, especially in upgraded turbo applications or vehicles equipped with high-performance tuning software.
