Stage 2 S58 B30A High Performance Engine | BMW X3M/X4M

This S58 engine is designed to make for maximum power applications (over 1,000HP) CarBahn has designed a high-performance engine to handle very high outputs by pinning the cam sprocket to the crankshaft. To ensure durability we also machine the block to accommodate a full circle thrust main. In addition, we utilize higher quality racing Carrillo connecting rods, forged CP pistons, cylinder head studs, high performance valve springs, cylinder head porting and lowered compression for increased flow and high boost.

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 S58 engine has 0.5 less compression to optimize the engine for the increased boost. 

The CarBahn engine is both stronger and less expensive than the BMW OEM factory engine. The S58 CarBahn engine is designed to improve the strength of your engine if you are tuning your car. Connecting rods are replaced with Carrillo forged racing rods. Pistons are CP forged racing pistons. The engine also comes with ported cylinder head and high-performance valve springs for ultra-high boost pressures. The engine is a complete overhaul with blue printing and balancing. This engine is designed for an increase in torque of 100% over stock.
