Eventuri Carbon intake system for Mini F56 Cooper S/JCW Facelift LCI

Tailor-made carbon intake system / intake solution, for real power and torque increase for Mini F5X Cooper S / JCW from Eventuri

Does NOT fit the new 306PS models

The F56 MINI Eventuri intake system is another example of our "complete system" principle.
It is a closed system that ensures that the turbo does not suck in hot air from the engine bay, but is enriched with a functional hood scoop that pushes ambient air into the intake duct. This duct has a larger internal volume than the stock version and also sucks in air from the storage area above the radiator. The combination of a closed system with an air scoop results in lower intake temperatures than the stock airbox and prevents heat ingress, which is a common problem especially on higher performance MINIs. To ensure the most even flow possible, we use our patented filter housing in conjunction with a CNC machined MAF pipe to ensure the most even flow possible to the turbo. The OEM intake system sucks in air from behind the front grill, above the radiator. The openings for the intake of ambient air are relatively small and can therefore lead to heat build-up in the intake, especially on a tuned Mini. The OEM hood scoop does not supply air directly to the intake and since the hood already has 2 cutouts under the scoop, we decided to take advantage of this feature and redesign the scoop. Our scoop is a direct replacement of the OEM part and locks into place using the same mounting method. It features 2 inlet ramps that direct outside air into the intake duct through the existing cutouts on the hood (see below). When the vehicle is accelerated, more air is forced into the duct, keeping inlet temperatures to a minimum and avoiding the problem of heat gain.The scoop has a redesigned profile with a longer top to cover the openings, which also provides a more aggressive look. Made from 100% prepreg carbon fiber, the scoop provides incredible aesthetics to the vehicle. To enhance the aesthetics even further, we used a V-shaped split weave with the carbon to create a symmetrical profile that works well and keeps the scoop sitting in the center of the hood.

Carbon intake channel:
The OEM duct only takes in air from behind the front grill and is very flat over the slamp panel. We redesigned the duct to allow air in from the grill and also from the scoop. Additionally, our duct has a much larger internal volume, allowing the intake system to breathe with less restriction. To protect from the heat of the engine bay, the duct is designed with a flexible rubber ring around the openings on the underside of the hood that flushes with the hood when closed. It also features a stretchable rubber edge around the opening to the filter housing, ensuring a good seal to the filter and allowing it to move with the engine.

Performance data:
Dyno testing was carried out on both a Cooper S and a JCW. The Cooper S had a Stage 1 remap for the stock airbox and Eventuri. The JCW had a Stage 2 remap and downpipe for the stock airbox and Eventuri. The Cooper S showed a peak gain of around 8hp and 11ft-lb of torque, but higher mid-range gains of 15hp and 25ft-lb of torque with a good gain through the rev range. Similarly, the Stage 2 JCW saw peak gains of 15hp but much higher mid-range gains of 27hp and 26ft-lb of torque with a very good power increase throughout the rev range. These power gains were measured after changing only the stock airbox for the Eventuri intake - all other changes were present for both the stock airbox and Eventuri intake.

The gains measured on the dyno translate on the street into increased part-throttle and wide-open throttle behavior, with the car pulling to the redline much more eagerly. Testing was done back-to-back on the same day and temperatures were monitored.
