They claim 30-38HP and 20-35 ft-lbs as a stand alone mod. I would love to know if anyone has installed of has any info of them. Price seems pretty insane for an intake at just under 2k!

 

I've noticed the Audi and BMW communities testing the Eventuri intake on various RS5's, M5's and M3's with apparently "not bad" results. Jaguar F Type | Eventuri

Whether their claim of 30-38HP and 20-35 ft-lbs for the F-Type (5.0?) can be supported by others though--I'm doubtful at this point. Just a few too many past claims that a free-flowing intake will add this and that. That said, their "velocity stack" design is an interesting take on air flow for a MAF-controlled car. So, I'm open to enlightenment as you are. Technology | Eventuri

 

I'm curious myself. If it really gives those kind of gains on the V6 even at that price I might be interested.

 

That would be a 10% power increase in the V6, which isn't going to happen no matter how much better it flows. I also doubt those gains are possible on the V8.

 

I saw the same set up for a Porsche 928 a long time ago, came with two electric inline fans to boost air intake and claimed to add 30-50 hp..... So they still claim that two tubes and new air filters give you all that? Why not just change your existing filters to K&N, pretty much the same deal?

And $2,000 for CF components that can't be seen from any angle without disassembling the inner fenders.......

 

Unhingd have you or are you going to do anything to your air intake system? I know you already did a pulley swap and a tune so just curious if your going to mess with the air intake at all. Seems like the Eventuri air intake is one of the few choices right now if you want to modify the air intake on these cars. It might not even be worth the money and effort though.

 

Given the limited space within an engine compartment these days, more airflow means more dust fines making it to the pistons. Over a distance of 100k+ miles, that will cause excessive wear. Of course, if you have a space the size of a refrigerator and can build a cyclone separator in conjunction with large radius bend air tubes, you might be able to increase airflow with full filtration. If you flip your cars every 2 or 3 years, no problem with the "free-flow" filtration systems. For track purposes, I never ran with an air filter except at dusty tracks in the desert. The bearings would always need replacing and the reciprocating components magnafluxed for impending stress failure long before the rings and cylinder walls succumbed to wear. But if you want an engine to last, you go for the filtration, not the last couple of horses. That said, if you could fit larger air boxes to house filter elements with substantially greater filtration surface, that would be worth looking into.

 

My local tuner had just installed an Eventuri intake for an Audi RS5 last time I was there. He was amazed because the intake actually increased outputs by more than what they promised on their website (measured with a maha dyno).

I'll probably get it installed as well once I've upgraded the upper pulley and gotten a good ECU tune on my V6 base.

My 2 cents....

 

Thanks for the input Unhingd.

 

Anybody know of anyone on here who's installed this intake on there F Type? I would hate to be the guinea pig at almost $2000 lol.

Thanks for the link CaptainHam but I already read up on that one the other day. I emailed the one guy(Jgaxkr) that I know who has installed the Eventuri intake asking him what he thought about it but no response just yet.

 

I'm curious how those filters would react in the real world being located so close to the brake discs. With the amount of brake dust these cars shed, I can see completely fouled filters happening in a matter of weeks, if not sooner.

 

Far from conclusive I know but it's also mentioned very briefly here (scroll to last post on page 2).

Hi all. - Jaguar F-Type Forums - Page 2

 

I installed my Eventuri intakes just after taking delivery of the car. My wife drove it home & backed it into the garage. I had the intakes installed before she drove it again. It is her daily driver not mine. So I am unable to tell you if it seems any faster. If it was my daily driver it would have one of my pulleys & a RICA tune as well. I will say the supercharger whine is now much more pronounced at light throttle.

 

My 2 cents, for what it's worth...

The intakes on the V6 are the same as the V8, so if the stock intakes are "adequate" on the V8 then they are already going to be oversized on the V6, purely based on the difference in air consumption of a 5.0L V8 consuming 550hp of air, compared to a 3.0L V6 consuming 380hp of air (rough numbers for the sake of argument).

So i'd be very surprised if these intakes could make any significant improvement to the V6.

Sure would be nice to see an independent dyno before & after on a V8, or even a V6, but as you can tell I have my doubts about the gains on the V6 being anywhere near the numbers they claim for the V8, in raw numbers or percentage.
