The B58 engine is a high-performance, turbocharged, straight-six platform. It’s the heart and soul of several BMW models (namely the G Series platform) and the Toyota A91 Supra. This engine has earned a number of accolades since its introduction in 2015.
If you drive a vehicle with the B58 engine and want more power, you can get it. The B58 comes turbocharged out of the factory, but you can absolutely make upgrades later on. Installing a new, custom B58 turbo provides enhanced power and performance. Here’s how.
Start with a B58 Turbocharger Kit
If “more power” sounds like music to your ears, start with a B58 single turbo kit. A B58 top-mount single turbo kit with factory control can serve as an excellent starting point. It allows you to replace or upgrade your existing turbo.
Choosing a kit, rather than parting out the turbo and extras yourself, saves time and hassle. Plus, an enthusiast-level kit means you get top-tier parts. These parts are made with top-quality materials that often go above and beyond OEM options.
Choose Your Turbocharger
A B58 single turbo kit also means you choose the turbo itself. You can select the turbocharger that best fits your needs, along with a compatible turbine housing A/R. From there, you select everything else you may need.
You can also make refinements that go beyond a turbo kit. For example, you can find B58 upgraded turbo options designed with a more direct installation. These custom turbos feature all the factory connections. It’s turbocharging made simple.
Advantages of Making the Upgrade
Why make these kinds of improvements to an already turbocharged engine? There are key aftermarket advantages to consider, including more power over the factory setup. This includes key 60-130 MPH improvements (for example, upwards of -2.6 over stock engine times).
Another area of improvement: trap speed. With upgraded hardware with improved power retention and airflow, you can see a gain of 19 MPH (such as, stock trap speed 148 MPH/upgraded trap speed 167 MPH).
