CarBahn Performance Controller (CPC):

The CPC is a plug and play ECU that increases boost pressure in turbocharged cars to dramatically increase HP and Torque. The unit has selectable maps through a Bluetooth app on your smart phone.

You can download these apps for your smartphone through the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

 

These maps are designed to accommodate different octane fuels for additional increased performance. You can choose between 91, 93 and 100 Octane.

As with all CarBahn products an optional powertrain warranty can be purchased.

If you want to trade your CarBahn Performance Controller in for software in the future, there is a $500 upgrade fee and if you purchased the warranty, it is transferable to the software at no additional charge!

 

Doing it yourself:

A note on self-tuning tools. There are now programs available that you can buy to tune your car yourself. Many of these tools come with canned programs. Be careful as tuning a high output engine requires tremendous knowledge and experience to extract maximum power without damage.

Emissions legality:

A note on down pipes (removing the catalyst). We have run back-to-back dyno runs with the cat on and off and the power gain is much smaller than most people claim usually around 11hp. We all need to breathe the air. It is difficult to get your car its required emissions test without catalyst and it is illegal.

High boost with stock engine:

We have seen many damaged engines as result of making too much power with a stock engine. While modern engines are very reliable, it is easy to add large turbochargers and water methanol injection and break the engine. On the F9X, maximum safe power on a stock engine is 800 lb-ft flywheel torque. CarBahn makes high performance engines designed to handle more power. More information is available on this web site.

Heat Exchanger

CarBahn has successfully engineered and manufactured the industry’s largest and most thermally efficient Heat Exchanger. By employing innovative design techniques, CarBahn has achieved a remarkable 40% increase in cooling capacity compared to existing Heat Exchangers in the market. Drawing inspiration from Formula 1 Heat Exchanger technology, CarBahn has integrated high-performance features and optimized flow dynamics to ensure unparalleled heat transfer efficiency.In addition to its superior thermal performance, CarBahn’s race inspired design boasts a remarkable reduction in weight, thanks to the implementation of advanced lightweight materials and improved structural design. When paired with the 3.5bar MAP sensor and Stage 2 Software, this combination significantly boosts power while ensuring safety.

 

Philosophy:

CarBahn’s EVO intelligent software possesses remarkable adaptability to a large range of fuel octanes. Through our software, we employ retuning techniques while ensuring that all critical safety features, which are often neglected, remain intact and add additional safety features where necessary. To gain a deeper understanding of these safety limits, we invite you to watch the informative video available at this link. By recalibrating the safety limits, our software seamlessly adapts from 93 to 100 octane, eliminating the necessity for a customized tune when employing race gas. This unique functionality enables the software to deliver maximum power with each octane variant without compromise. Consequently, there is no need to purchase a custom tune exclusively for race gas usage. Our software is meticulously designed to provide the highest achievable performance output while upholding safety as a paramount concern. Here, the term “intelligent software” denotes the accurate and optimized tuning of the software, avoiding excessive tuning. Our objective is to craft a torque curve that maintains a natural and harmonious delivery, as showcased in this link. We avoid generating excessive torque at low RPMs, which could result in tire slippage, engine stress, and drivetrain failures. By managing torque with a smooth delivery, our software enhances drivability, thereby fostering increased speed and reliability. In contrast to our competitors, who often attempt to maximize performance by pushing boost levels beyond safe limits, our approach prioritizes reliability. We refrain from compromising knock sensitivity and thermal protections, which are vital for safeguarding the engine from potential damage caused by extreme power extraction. 

 

Durability:

Unlike most tunes available in the market, CarBahn’s software maintains the integrity of safety parameters, preserving them to prevent any compromise in engine performance and longevity. Parameters such as knock control sensitivity, super knocking control sensitivity, and catalyst thermal protection are carefully tuned within your OEM software to mitigate the risk of engine and catalyst failure. In our pursuit of optimizing power delivery, we have minimized power losses to a mere 12 HP when reducing these supposed power-reducing software protections. On the contrary, we have witnessed numerous instances of damaged engines resulting from the reduction of these safety parameters. Thus, it becomes apparent that gaining a marginal 12 HP advantage hardly justifies the potential risk of significant engine damage. 

 

Do-it-yourself Approach:

It is essential to acknowledge the emergence of self-tuning tools in the automotive market. While these tools offer the convenience of tuning your vehicle independently, it is crucial to exercise caution. Many of these tools come equipped with pre-set programs that conveniently bypass safety limits, thus posing a substantial risk of engine damage. The art of tuning a high-output engine requires profound knowledge and experience to extract maximum power without compromising the engine’s structural integrity. 

 

Emissions Legality: 

Let us address the topic of removing the catalyst, commonly achieved through the utilization of downpipes. Our rigorous testing regimen involved conducting consecutive dyno runs with and without the catalyst, and the observed power gain was significantly smaller than commonly touted, typically around 11 HP. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge our shared responsibility towards environmental preservation, as clean air is vital to our well-being. Furthermore, obtaining the necessary emissions certifications without a catalyst is a daunting task and, from a legal standpoint, it is considered an infringement.

CarBahn has produced the largest most thermally efficient heat exchanger on the market. Increasing cooling capacity by 40%. This heat exchanger utilizes F1 heat exchanger technology. This heat exchanger technology is dramatically more efficient than the lower cost heat exchangers on the market. The race car heat exchanger is significantly lighter weight.

Increasing boost generates more heat. The addition of the heat exchanger allows you to run more boost safely by reducing charge air temperature. This reduction in charge air temperature also makes more power.This is particularly noticeable in summer months when ambient temperature is high.

When used in conjunction with CarBahn software the addition of this heat exchanger providers enough safety that we can offer a factory matching warranty on your engine and drivetrain.

Dual intercoolers 

CarBahn CSF larger dual intercoolers is a very efficient heat exchanging that will allow you to run more boost and extract more power. They are a very efficient intercooler replacement and are tied into the stock heat exchanger circuit. They work best when used in conjunction with CarBahn heat exchangers and software. They are designed to compensate for additional heat generated by increased boost. The reduced intake air temperature increases air density and is a must to extract maximum power and ensure reliability of the engine with High boost applications.

CarBahn Autoworks is proud to announce the Monoball for the F9X BMW M5/M8 models.

The CarBahn Autoworks Monoball Kit replaces the rubber bushings in the stock thrust arms with sealed precision ball joints inside machined aluminum housings. As a result of eliminating the deflection that is inherent in rubber bushings, braking stability is improved, and the tendency for the car to follow ruts in the road (especially with wider wheels and tires) is reduced.

The bearings inside the Monoball Assembly are nylon-lined for quiet operation, and are sealed against water and debris intrusion for longevity.

Estimated Installation Time: 3.0 hours (excludes alignment)

The stock rear toe link is built with rubber bushings and a curved forged alloy rod which can easily flex. During hard acceleration, this flex allows the rear wheels to have excessive toe changes. All this flex in the stock toe link causes the car to be unstable when pushing the limits of acceleration.  CarBahn eliminates this flex by replacing the rubber bushings with Teflon coated machined steel rod ends, and the OEM curved bar with a straight billet aluminum rod. Most, if not all, of our competitors’ products wrap the rod end in a loose rubber boot, which not only allows water and debris to enter but also retains them which results in excessive noise and a short service life until the rod ends must be replaced. The CarBahn rod ends are sealed perfectly against water and environmental contamination, thus providing a long, quiet, maintenance-free service life.

 

CarBahn is proud to present the High-Performance Coil-Over Suspension System for the F90 M5, F90 M5 Competition, F91 M8 Convertible, F91 M8 Competition Convertible, F92 M8 Coupe, F92 M8 Competition Coupe, F93 M8 Gran Coupe and F93 M8 Competition Gran Coupe models.

Benefits of CarBahn Performance Coil-Over Suspension System:

• Threaded collars allow easy and precise front & rear vehicle height adjustments.
• Up to 1 1/4″ of lowering in front and 1 1/4″ of lowering in back are possible depending on tire clearance.
• Spring rates are nearly 10% stiffer in front and 10% stiffer in the rear.
• Substantial reduction in body roll.
• Included suspension packers allow adjustment of bump-stop clearance to fine-tune handling and comfort.
• CarBahn-spec progressive bump stops improve ride quality at lowered ride heights.
• Components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
• Stock upper spring mounts are utilized for quiet operation.

 

*Note: Due to the extensive lowering possible, and the increased suspension travel, the installer must carefully evaluate tire clearance under all situations. Safety will be compromised if all precautions are not taken. CarBahn is not responsible for any property damage or injury.

 

Estimated Installation Time:

M5 Sedan, M5 Competition Sedan, M8 Gran Coupe and M8 Competition Gran Coupe: 9.50 hours (Includes ride height adjustment and excludes alignment)

M8 Coupe, M8 Competition Coupe, M8 Convertible and M8 Competition Convertible: 8.00 hours (Includes ride height adjustment and excludes alignment)

Stage 1 S63 TU4 High Performance Engine: F90 M5, F91, F92, F93 M8

Steve Dinan has been building high performance and racing engines for BMW since 1977, winning 11 racing championships including 3 prototype championships and two 24 Hours of Daytona. The same engine shop that builds the racing engines also builds the street car engines. These talented engineers, machinists, and builders have built hundreds of engines from OEM street rebuilds to full-blown racing engines.

From stock, the S63 engine is not designed for a large increase in boost.CarBahn Autoworkshas designed a high-performance engine to handle very high outputs by utilizing higher quality racing Carrillo connecting rods and forged CP pistons.

The stock engine compression ratio is relatively high due to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards which push for consistently higher fuel economy in cars and trucks. However, this increased compression limits engine performance with higher boost settings by decreasing the size of the fuel-air charge in the combustion chamber, forcing the ignition timing to retard far below MBT (Mean Best Timing, the theoretical optimal ignition timing). Therefore, the Carbahn Autoworks S63 engine has 0.5 less compression to optimize the engine for the increased boost. In an emissions-legal street car, the lowered compression has the added benefit of reducing catalyst inlet temperatures and improved drive-ability on pump gas.

Derived from our GTD1 racing wheel, the Forgeline GT1 5-Lug brings its racing DNA to the street. The GT1 5-Lug combines the latest in advanced wheel technology, including one piece forged monoblock construction, motorsport engineered design, I-beamed spokes, and I-beamed spoke spans to deliver head-turning good looks with track-ready capability.

The Forgeline GT1 5-Lug is a fully-forged one-piece monoblock wheel that is manufactured using technology similar to our very successful GA1R wheel. The GT1 5-Lug’s concave 10-spoke design includes extra long spokes that extend beyond the hidden lug holes while allowing plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment. The one-piece monoblock forging and computer-simulated FEA design process yield a wheel that is very lightweight, extremely stiff, and has excellent fatigue strength. The GT1 5-Lug is machined from a single forging of 6061-T6 aluminum. It is currently available in 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22-inch diameters. (Please Note: Depending on size, the GT1 5-Lug may be available in deep, medium, or shallow concave profiles.) And just like any Forgeline wheel, the GT1 5-Lug is available with fully customizable finish options.

The Forgeline GA1R is a fully-forged one-piece monoblock wheel that utilizes much of the technology and design of our very successful GA3R racing wheel, including our “I-beamed” spoke technology. The concave design of the GA1R not only looks great, but allows plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment, while the one-piece monoblock forging and I-beamed spoke design yield a wheel that is extremely stiff with fatigue strength equal to our proven GA3R. And yet despite the strength and stiffness, for most applications and sizes, it also delivers a high-performance weight reduction – making it perfect for motorsports and racing applications or the discerning street enthusiast who demands the ultimate in performance capability!

The GA1R is designed for racing. It is engineered with a 2100 lb. street-tire load rating (per wheel) to ensure strength and integrity, even when subjected to the massive loads encountered on the stickiest race tires.

The GA1R is produced using our traditional forging method from 6061-T6 aluminum. It is currently available in 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22-inch sizes with a range of widths and offsets. (Please Note: Depending on size, the GA1R may be available in deep, medium, or shallow concave profiles. See sizing chart for details.) And just like any Forgeline wheel, the GA1R is available with fully customizable finish options.

The GA1R is also available for limited applications in Deep Cap (DC) and Extra Deep Cap (EDC) profiles. These Deep Cap profiles employ unique in-house lathe turnings that allow us to position the center cap deep within the center of the wheel and create an exaggerated extra-aggressive concave look.

The VX1 continues the exciting evolution in Forgeline monoblock styling. It features a sharp Y-spoke design (with long spokes that wrap around the lug holes), striking sharp angles, deep concave profile, and radically-chamfered outer edge. The Forgeline VX1 is a fully-forged one-piece monoblock wheel that utilizes manufacturing technology similar to our very successful GA1R wheel. Beyond just beautiful style, the Forgeline VX1 one piece monoblock wheel is engineered to allow plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment. The one-piece monoblock forging and computer-simulated FEA design process yield a wheel that is lightweight, stiff, and has excellent fatigue strength.

The Forgeline VX1 one piece monoblock wheel is machined from a single forging of 6061-T6 aluminum. It is currently available in 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22-inch diameters with a range of widths and offsets. (Please Note: Depending on size, the VX1 may be available in deep, medium, or shallow concave profiles.)
