The S58 under the hood of the 2021+ G80 M3 is a powerhouse with a lineage spanning over 45 years, delivering impressive performance with nearly three-second 0-60 times and over 500 horsepower. However, for enthusiasts looking to extract even more power from their G80 M3, aftermarket modifications are essential. Bolt-on mods, big turbos, and tunes have the potential to push the S58 engine beyond the 800 HP mark, but such high power levels necessitate effective cooling solutions.
The stock G80 M3 charge air cooler, while functional, has its limitations. The combination intercooler/intake manifold design is efficient, but the tube-and-fin core crimped onto the thermoplastic plenum is a weak point. These crimps are prone to failure, with some instances occurring at as little as 3 lbs. of boost pressure.
To address the cooling challenges faced by high-performance G80 M3 builds, Mishimoto has developed a charge air cooler manifold specifically designed for applications demanding serious power. The Mishimoto charge air cooler features a robust construction and an improved core design to enhance cooling efficiency and reliability under high boost conditions.
By upgrading to the Mishimoto charge air cooler, G80 M3 owners can benefit from improved heat dissipation, reduced intake air temperatures, and enhanced overall engine performance. The superior construction and design of the Mishimoto cooler ensure that it can withstand the demands of high-power applications, providing enthusiasts with the confidence to push their S58 engine to its limits.
