When everyone was knee-jerk reacting negatively to the B58 engine in the A90 Toyota Supra, Stephen Papadakis & crew were the guys getting data, testing setups and then getting results on the 8,900rpm limiter.
As discussed, Papadakis Racing hasn't had a B58 development program without any issues, but I think after this interview we can all honestly say there were not as many as we all might have thought! From boost response to bearing and engine coatings, lubrication and cooling systems, the quest for more and more power vs grip, this interview covers a lot of ground.
Getting 1200hp from the 8,900rpm limited platform, the team hits 2023 fresh off a championship win in Formula Drift and dives into further development of their 3.2L stroker version on tracks that favour more power, vs their tried and trusted 3.0L version on shorter runs.
The 6 cylinder alloy block runs JE pistons with stock rings, aftermarket bearings via ACL or King Bearings removing one choke point for failure along with a Supertech valvetrain and post 2021 6 port A91 B58 head. A BorgWarner 9274 is used with the 3.0L build and a 9280 with the 3.2L ensures appropriate turbo response for the multiple title-winning driver Fredric Aasbø. Low boost is around 1.2 Bar, high 2.3 Bar (17-33 Psi) with help from TiAL wastegates and AEM boost control solenoids
Also discussed is why the CSF Radiator setup and similar are now so often found in the rear of a drift car along with some insights into the stock lubrication system, Valvetronic setup and how impressive, or unimpressive in the case of the stock bearings, OEM coatings can be on modern engine builds.
Not discussed but of interest, the car runs an AEM Infinity ECU, Injector Dynamics ID 2000 injectors delivering E85 fuel, Brian Crower 100mm crank, MOAR series I-Beam Rods, Gforce GSR 4 speed dog box, RS-R Custom Coilovers, RS-R Racing springs and Tilton 600 Series pedal box.

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

The "earlier" B58 they discuss is actually the later second gen B58. The B58TU is the engine they speak about. The two port exhaust is what BMW calls the "Medium output version" found in most later non-M Performance 40i cars. e.g. X5 xDrive40i, and apparently the supra. They use this in packages where space, cost, and efficiency are most important. Higher output second gen B58tu models, "High output version" , have 6 exhaust ports. E.g. G2X M340i, M440i, etc.. This second gen B58 also received various technology updates over the first gen, mostly to improve efficiency and emission control. All early first gen non-tu B58s had normal cylinder heads with individual exhaust ports. e.g. F2X M140i/M240i, F3X 340i, 440i, early G30 540i, early G12 740i, Early G01/G02 X3/X4 M40i models. This is the OG B58. Fantastic engine if you are considering buying one. Great to tune. Even better If left stock, the engine will likely outlive the BMW body it's inside of.

[@fregyt]

Probably outlive everything it’s in

[@85CEKR]

until the timing chain snaps. I'm not sure about the B58 specifically, but I've had it happen to me on my past BMW's and the chain on the B58 looks the same, a tiny little bicycle chain, and its on the back on the B58. I own my cars and drive a lot, so decided to stay away from the B58 when I saw that if anything they made their timing chain issue worse, I got an IS500 instead.

[@seansiew5629]

@@85CEKR the aftermarket support for B58 is rising, so it’s slowly climbing to the popularity of the 2JZ as a tuning platform with an extra time

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

​@@85CEKR Craig, with all due respect that's a concern relevant to any engine with a timing belt or chain, which is essentially every passenger vehicle on earth, save for rotaries and heavy duty gear driven engines. Not to mention, Toyota chose this BMW B58 engine as one for their own production long before the Is500 was even announced. If it's good enough for Toyota, it's good. There is nothing particularly noteworthy about the timing chain or guides in the B58, aside from it's simplicity, being an Inline-6 configuration. The chain is made by IWIS, which makes chains for just about every brand and industry on the planet. BMW doesn't produce chains. In-fact, your IS500 has an IWIS made timing chain that is twice as complicated as this B58 at minimum, being that it has two cylinder heads and two more camshafts. Being that your anecdotal prior experience with a BMW timing chain was negative, I'm glad you found a car you like! Albeit, such a compromise as an IS500 which is essentially a knock-off version of it's german counterparts. Cheers

[@85CEKR]

@@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX it's really not nearly as much an issue with other brands, BMW is the only brand that has multiple class action lawsuits against them because of the issue, I'm part of 2 for 2 separate vehicles. And I'm not sure about the chain brand but I looked into this and the chains on all lexus/toyotas are massive compared to bmw's. The chain from our x3 was literally smaller than the one on my kids bicycle. When my x3 was at the dealer I managed to talk to a mechanic on break he said mine was one of 7 BMW's in there that day with a broken timing chain. If you want to dump alot of money into the B58 to bullet proof it and make a ton of power it's a great engine, if your a normal person I'm pretty skeptical. I've been a BMW fan boy for years and following them really close, everytime a new engine comes out it wins all these reliability awards and everyone praises them, then 6 or 7 years down the road reality sets in and people start to realize the truth, I suspect the B58 will be the same.

I just picked up a blown B58, for $150 bucks, I just bought it to take it apart and see how it's built, lucky for me the head is still good, crank is done, block is done, but 5 rods and pistons survived, what I thought was weird is that it's not a 2 piece girdle blocks like the N54's.

[@gabeishere4990]

That's actually interesting because I believe many aluminum engines have a girdle to overcome the weakness of the aluminum.

That’s the idea ig with a modular design family of engines.

[@SavageBunny1]

@GabeIsHere Yeah I thought so too, the main caps are beefy af tho, still only 2 main bolt caps.

[@spmotorsportsmachine5645]

@@SavageBunny1 the nice thing about the b58 is the thick windage tray... or more like a girdle that they use to help stiffen and tie the caps to the block, we find the caps start to walk around the 1000hp mark, the liners are good safely for 700whp, at 800 we find they start to speckle and flake.

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

The orange IROX rod bearings are of the first direct admissions by BMW that start-stop systems kills rod bearings. They realized this with the N series engines that had start-stop retrofitted later in production life. These engines were never designed for Start-stop. They are the reason why rod-bearing failures have been few and far between on BMW B series modular engines, N63TU2 and above V8 engines, N74TU and above V12 engines. This orange coating is a polymer that essentially allows the bearings to run with little or no oil pressure for a longer period over a traditional bearing, without significant damage. The side effects of these bearings are a fantastic and welcomed addition to all STOCK modern BMW engines (maybe not so much a 1200 HP race engine constantly running 90 PSI oil pres.). These are an added buffer against the ridiculously tight bearing clearances BMW chose to keep to this day. They make the bearings that much less sensitive to occasional oil starvation, which is inevitable in every engine's life (Cold starts, air gap after oil services, high G forces, steep hills, etc..) If I could, I would have IROX coated bearings in every engine I'd every have. This trend will hopefully catch on before the combustion engine is dead.

[@grein545]

Do you know if anyone has had an opportunity to check their bearings on a high mileage engine under normal conditions to see if the coating wears out?

[@MrDAllen1124]

Me personally, I'd use cryo and wpc on mine. At least that way I'm not relying on a coating to give me the results I want.

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

@@grein545 I'm sure it's sacrificial to some degree, eventually revealing what is a traditional rod bearing, which is still fine technically. In our experience, we have yet to see a rod-bearing fail under normal use on any of the newer engines with the IROX bearings.

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

​@@MrDAllen1124 Based on what? Forum posts? That opinion is a dime a dozen. Every old-head says the same thing. Those technologies have been around for decades, and while good, it's not for the same purpose. We've been through all that shit on the S54s, S65/85s, N54/55s, etc. for years. No matter what bearing you are running, you will be "relying on a coating to give you the result you want". Whether it's peened metal, or polymer, that's all a bearing is. In absence of oil film, the polymer coated bearings survive longer. In an ideal world, there would never be an absence of oil film. If that were the case, you could run the most basic single metal bearings on earth, forever, with no wear. Hope polymer coated bearings hit the main stream aftermarket someday.

Metallurgist here. @4:12 The "steel plasma sprayed lining" is probably not steel but nickel-based. Some nickel-aluminium plasma sprayed powder mix that forms a base of metallic nickel with NiAl intermetallic hard wearing particles embedded in it. Since nickel is also ferromagnetic, you'd get the same reacton to a magnet as if it were iron. (Similar to a Nickasil coating, but deposited by a different method.)

really impressed with the back and forth in this interview. I was fully expecting the usual line of questioning but this is some fantastic in depth talk on a really interesting build.

Step always said that they build not just fast car, but also made Unique car and still competitve.Like Corolla that converted to RWD and use 4 Cyl instead 6 Cyl or V8. Good Content :D

padapaolis actually lost at least one b58 already. He's such a trooper.
