We spoke to Kevin last year at Goodwood FOS but it's great to see even more info on the build process and also how the components are standing up to all the abuse. What an amazing opportunity to teardown the engine with BMW M themselves. We took a little different approach for our road going 1000hp+ builds but also keeping many of the standard parts because BMW did such a good job designing the S58.
@@bigjdm5460unfortunately, no there’s not. Those Tex2k A80 Supras have as much Toyota in them as the A90 Supra does. Once you start going billet block, new internals, overhauled fuel system, etc it’s no longer the same engine so what it can do from there means nothing besides an arbitrary number. S58s already make way more power on a stock rotating assembly than the 2JZ ever did & the DME isn’t even unlocked yet.
While you can't really match a 2J platform's simplicity with modern emissions standards, BMW is absolutely the closest you can get. I've been preaching that since the N54, all the way to the exceptional S58!! Thanks for the video!
Just killed it with this video! I was looking for head gasket information and came across this and got stuck watching and couldn't stop. Unfortunately I think my head gasket is leaking coolant into the cylinders. Stock engine 30k miles no abuse .... but still we have rusty spark plugs, steam coming out the tail pipes and we are using coolant. Not gonna be fun, she loves her car so I'm gonna have to change the head gasket. I might make a video when I do it.
@@madrx2 biggest complaints people have are the S58 has no low end torque, the B58 is much better for daily driving in that aspect.

I agree with 98% of the chart minus the section on parts availability. There are hundreds of manufacturers of aftermarket parts support for the 2jz that are readily available. Even talking OEM parts, your local Lexus / Toyota dealer has a majority of parts available for a 2jz with the cross platforms like IS300 / LC300 etc. You can even buy a complete 2jz gte rotating assembly shortblock right at a dealer. The S58 / B58 platform are still ramping up on aftermarket support and it's great to see but I still think the 2JZ section should have been 4-5 stars on parts availability
I'd say the B58 would have more parts available than the S58 since it's been out longer(since 2015) and is in more cars(almost 22 at best other than the supra)than the S58(maybe 5-6 at best)but I'd say that due time since Bmw plans to keep the B58 around a bit threw the 2030s also,I'd say they'd have parts(other than bmw updating them)more available for the B58 in the future more than the S58 unless bmw puts the S58 in more platforms/cars they have now.
yea but you dont need anything to make this crazy numbers like he said 1039 hp and 1285 nm of torque on all stock engine just a bigget turbo and port injection so the reallity is youdont even need much
At almost 40 years of age JDM Sport cars have pretty much been the only sport cars I’ve purchased. But I’m so impressed with these new inline motors BMW has been producing like the S58 and B58. I could see now that Toyota did the right thing with the Supra.
@@chikmnunget yes and no, you can drive any engine straight away, but you should try and put the least amount of stress on the internals as possible by easing the car along and always waiting until the car has has reached operating temp to get any sort of power out of it

They should make port fuel injection kit for the s58. Oem or after market. I don't want to clean the intake valves. Asap. For the x3m competition from 2020.
From a s14 2JZ owner, of course the S58 is a better motor. We're looking at almost 35 years between the two. IMHO, the S58 BETTER be BETTER with that much time and technology. But the 2JZ is NO doubt WAY ahead of its time, and for BMW to FINALLY come up with 2 inline-6 turbo motors (S5x & B58) to dethrone a legend, says something about the 2JZ
im amazed i have a n55 it has its short comings of course but a great motor and its in 2011 135i and just keeps rippin the technology started with the n54 the s58 is the final chapter what a incredible motor swap it in my e82 135i is what im thinkin thanks for the vid
What a fantastic educational and insightful video. Doubly impressive that it's so well done in English. I'd love to know how much power you think you could get out of a B58 😂 👏👏👏
In my opinion the b58 is better than the 2jz as well. If you want an inline 6 that’ll do 10s in the 1/4 with just a turbo and a fuel pump and some supporting mods it’s easier to do. Proven to hold 1000hp as well. And a 140i can be had for 20k now value for money
I knew when I bought mine that I was making a good choice. I've had it for a year and I still love it the same as when it was new. 1000hp would be nuts.
Most strong, high power straight 6s BMW create are the 'new 2JZ'. People said the N54 was the new 2JZ, then in more recent years that engine has been superseded by the B58, and this video is talking about the S58. You could say the S55 is the new 2JZ.
Any chance you can ask those guys at BMWM why BMW chose not to pin or key the timing sprocket to the crank/crank hub on the N54/S55, etc? I and many others would love to know the technical reasoning that has led to so much pain and suffering.
Do you guys run the car to a higher redline than the stock 7200? With your sequential transmission it should be able to go higher since it's the ZF that brought the redline down from the S55. Also is more broad aftermarket MoTec support coming for the S58?
Raising redline doesn’t always mean more power if the turbos meet peak boost at for example 6800 no reason to spin the motor to 7200. Also the trans wouldn’t stop the car from reving higher
Did I miss it? What was the mileage of the car? Two years is meaningless (but maybe I missed it). Thanks for the info on the internals - very interesting!
Besides the crankhub thisng .rhe s55 ia an awsome engine its super easy to tune and loves being rung out. My F80 is fast as hell but van be very relaxing at rhe same time
B58 needs fully built internals above 650hp. But you can typically run stock parts w/ high flow downpipe up to 500HP on OTS maps. You might be able to get a bit more with custom tunes depending on the fueling available to you
@@Shane-fh4uuno u can make over 700whp+ on stock internals easily with the B58. The 650whp range is dangerous on certain/early gen B58s that came with the weaker hpfps. The B58s with the stronger hpfp(newer ones)can take that but people usually go port once they start tapping into the 700whp+ range. There are multiple B58s making 700+whp easily and stock internal 800whp B58s are slowly becoming more common.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 This is news to me. I mean I looked it up it is still pretty much consensus that for safety 600-650 is the highest you should go on stock internals. I also spoke to the tuning experts at Westtuned when I had my B58 gen2 bench unlocked and they had a couple supra builds at 1000HP and they said for sure they would not go above 600 HP for safety without fully built engine. Maybe it can handle 650+ on stock internals but it probably won't last long if you are frequently driving it hard. I plan to keep my car for 100k miles so even with Stage 2 tune I use 91 oct map with 93 oct gas
The N54 version of this motor can make the same power with similar modifications and it came out 15 years ago. Guess they had to put it in a Toyota to get approval from the masses.
It has variable timing and lift, so it's only duration away from being able to essentially have the perfect cam for any RPM. People are quick to throw away parts like this on engine builds to simplify engines because all they care about is the peak power figure, but they miss out on a lot of meat under the curve which is much more important than the power output in an engine that actually gets used.
Not even close to a 2JZ, had a 2JZ car and now a S58 car and its not even something to compare... Cast Iron Block Vs Aluminum... Direct Injection vs Port etc etc etc no comparison
the 2jz wishes it was an s58. stock s58 power record is above 1200whp with no cams or head work. 2jz are cool because the aftermarket, but the aftermarket for the bmw engines is finally catching up, in 20 years, because the s58 is bmws LAST true 3.0 gas m engine, it was overbuilt and it will live on forever, forged pistons, rods, and a cam = 1500hp capable.
How can this one survive 1300 newtons if most tuners say over 1000 nm they saw cronnecting rods exploding and the rod bearings should be shit too but here everything is fine?
Any engine can be reliable, it’s up to the owner how he/she takes care of their engine. Change the oil on my N54 every 3500 miles and never had a problem, not even a leak. Even my transmission, changed it every 60k miles. Note, I used Amsoil brands. I sold it at 121k miles and its a 2004 car. 🤷♂️ its really up to people how they take care of their car to make it reliable.
This is spooky because I have an alt account named "Ludwig Van Beethoven" with the SAME EXACT profile and this is EXACTLY what I would write... I preach the saying "any engine can be reliable, depending on the owner". A lot of kiddies don't know this.
A lot of stereotypical hate to all the major manufacturers, do bmw’s have reliability issues on some of their models throughout the years and can they be costly to repair especially if you aren’t able to perform the labor/repair yourself? Yes. But they are also responsible for so many amazing feats and creations.
@Justanothercarguynyc lol, the price hike was around covid time. So no, it's not all inflation. The reason the 2J was king was because it was semi affordable for a long time and bullet proof. That's why I said it's a stretch..
@@FastRedPonyCar I just looked up a longblock on ebay and it was over that 10k mark. The truth is that there is no replacement for the 2J from a Euro or Japanese manufacturer in the US. The only affordable swap would be the LS.
@@nismospek3-5k without inflation. If you consider inflation, that's 7-12k, almost as much as the S58 you said you found. In fact, 2JZ crate engines are about 10k as well if you search a bit so at that point the S58 doesn't seem like much of a stretch. The LS is much cheaper though, spot on. That's the main reason people LS swap virtually anything.

I sold it at 121k miles and its a 2004 car. 🤷♂️ its really up to people how they take care of their car to make it reliable.
you didnt run any mods either thats the killer on bimmer engines
@@pnum9618 i have a friend with 2018 Bmw M4. No issues yet, he tuned his ECU and has a couple mods.
This is spooky because I have an alt account named "Ludwig Van Beethoven" with the SAME EXACT profile and this is EXACTLY what I would write...
I preach the saying "any engine can be reliable, depending on the owner". A lot of kiddies don't know this.
S58 is 3jz
A lot of stereotypical hate to all the major manufacturers, do bmw’s have reliability issues on some of their models throughout the years and can they be costly to repair especially if you aren’t able to perform the labor/repair yourself? Yes. But they are also responsible for so many amazing feats and creations.
I feel little more comfortable running 707whp 737 ft lb torque on my gen 2 B58 (M340I)
would looove rto see a s58B38 and why not a similar b58 with or as a v10
The answer is no. You said it yourself. 2JZ is affordable to tune. S58 is in everyone’s reach.
If only we could see where the s58 would be in 20 years!
Can't argue with that...
The exhaust ports are not merged in the cylinder head like the B58. Interesting…
That's just the 2 port B58 that's like that. The 6 port B58s have the usual traditional heads.
Kind of a stretch to compare an engine that costs 10K + to something that was 3-5K for over 20 years.
Adjust that price for inflation buddy same thing
@Justanothercarguynyc lol, the price hike was around covid time. So no, it's not all inflation. The reason the 2J was king was because it was semi affordable for a long time and bullet proof. That's why I said it's a stretch..
A new S58 is closer to $30~$40k from what I've read. 🫨
I'm assuming that includes everything and not just the long block.
@@FastRedPonyCar I just looked up a longblock on ebay and it was over that 10k mark. The truth is that there is no replacement for the 2J from a Euro or Japanese manufacturer in the US. The only affordable swap would be the LS.
@@nismospek3-5k without inflation. If you consider inflation, that's 7-12k, almost as much as the S58 you said you found.
In fact, 2JZ crate engines are about 10k as well if you search a bit so at that point the S58 doesn't seem like much of a stretch.
The LS is much cheaper though, spot on. That's the main reason people LS swap virtually anything.
This fella must not have heard the word BARRA before!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the Barra is junk shit
@@Jeepvanboat lol this fool is terribly misinformed
Is DI more of a risk for engine fires if the piston hits the head? Has this ever been researched?
Every new 6 cylinder BMW engine that comes out is always called "the new 2jz" lmaooo
At 12:14 there appears to be some galling if you freeze frame it
What are missed opportunity, not letting the bmw engineers speak!
