The F92 M8 Eventuri intake system was developed through extensive real-world testing and airflow simulation analysis. It features sealed filter housings to maintain a consistent IAT, even when stationary. Housing-sealing covers, combined with our scoop and shield combination, ensure unrestricted airflow while maintaining low IATs through cold air saturation. Our large front air scoops transfer ambient air directly into the intake area, ensuring the engine does not suffer from heat absorption. Additionally, our heat-reflective gold-coated shields have integrated flow guides that direct ambient air from the scoops to the filters. We were also able to increase the cross-sectional area of the inlet tube by over 30% over the stock intake as it feeds through ports in the strut braces. This allows the turbos to work harder with less restriction and reduces wastegate duty cycles.
The intake was road tested using a Vbox unit to record acceleration from 60-130 mph. Testing was done on the same stretch of road, on the same day to minimize variables. The results show that with just the added intake, on stock software, acceleration times from 60-130 mph were reduced by 0.22 seconds, which is a significant improvement at those speeds.
Acceleration results summary:
The advantages are due to a combination of reasons:
1) Larger intake pipe volume allows turbochargers to operate with less drag.
2) Venturi housings provide a smooth transition from filter to intake pipe while maintaining laminar airflow.
3) Large front air intakes force ambient air into the intakes keeping IATs low.
The Eventuri F92 M8 intake system is made up of a series of components designed to perform a specific purpose and manufactured to the highest standards. Here are the details for each component and the design ethic behind them:
Each intake system consists of:
GROUP INTAKE HOUSING
The filter housings include our custom-built second generation filters, aluminum intake cowls, carbon covers, carbon pods and integrated pipes. The carbon pods wrap around the reverse mounted filters and smoothly shape the airflow to the stock turbo inlet pipes. This is a key feature of the intake design where we have eliminated the need for a convoluted rubber hose between the airbox and the turbo inlet pipes. The integrated filter housings and pipes extend all the way to the stock turbo pipes and are able to move as one piece with the engine through the strut braces. This eliminates the extra interfaces of having a separate convoluted hose that the stock system requires for flexibility as the stock airboxes are mounted to the frame and therefore cannot move. The result is a smoother path from the filter to the turbo inlets and therefore the turbos are able to operate with less drag. The following diagram summarizes the differences between the stock airbox and the Eventuri F92 filter housing.
INTERNAL VOLUME
Another key design feature of the intake housings is the internal volume of the tubes as they pass through the strut braces. On the F90 M5, the airbox system has to pass through an oval opening in the strut brace on each side before reaching the turbo intakes. We have been able to increase the internal dimensions of our intakes at this junction, which results in more available volume for the turbos to draw from and therefore less restriction. The increase in cross-sectional areas between the Eventuri and the stock airbox is 31% as follows:
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Our patented filter housings feature a uniform reduction in cross-sectional area as they wrap around the filters and taper towards the tube. This geometry is reminiscent of the Venturi effect where the airflow accelerates whilst maintaining laminar conditions. It can be thought of as a large velocity stack - below is a diagram showing how our patented design compares to a typical intake system. Our custom-made filters help the airflow move through the housings and allow for a uniform velocity profile as the airflow exits the housings. Further details can be read on the Technology and Filters pages.
COVERINGS CARBON
These carbon coatings they are a recent addition to this vacuum system. Seals the openings in front of the filter housings from the engine bay, while still allowing airflow to enter the filters from the front air intakes. The covers follow the design curves of the housings and extend into the inner wheel arches, where a rubber seal allows the air intakes to move with the engine. Made from the same high-quality pre-impregnated carbon fiber as the housings, the shields complement the intake system beautifully.
HEAT SHIELDS & AIR RAMPS
The filter housings sit atop these laser cut shields which also have a gold reflective backing for added visibility. help against radiated heat transfer. The shields attach to the chassis and also provide a seal for the housing openings to draw in fresh air. This is aided by integrated air ramps attached to the inside of each shield. These ramps guide air from the vents upwards towards the filters, so when the car is moving, the airflow forced into the ducts from the front vents is then pushed directly into the filter area displacing any engine bay heat.
FRONT AIR INTAKES The final carbon components in this system are the front air intakes, which are essential for directing ambient air to the filters. The air intakes have been designed for maximum efficiency in directing incoming air to the stock duct openings. Many aftermarket scoops have a large flat area that is nearly perpendicular to the incoming air, which is not ideal for ducting air as the airflow only "hits" this flat area and creates turbulence. Unlike most aftermarket "scoops", Eventuri scoops are designed to extend from the stock duct openings all the way up to the grilles. To capture as much air as possible, the scoops are shaped to the same contours as the outer grilles and then gently channel ambient air in a continuous curve toward the duct openings.
Having an effective supply of cold air to the filters is an essential part of our design. Simply having heat shields in place is not an effective means of preventing hot air from entering the filters unless the shields create an airtight envelope around the filters. The vanes and shields in our system combine to provide the filter openings with ambient air and keep the intake air temperature low.
