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

Custom Carbon Intake System / Intake Solution, for Real Power and Torque Increase for Mini F5X Cooper S / JCW by Eventuri

Does NOT fit the new 306hp models

The F56 MINI Eventuri intake system is another example of our "complete system" principle.
It is a closed system that ensures the turbo does not draw 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 draws air from the storage space 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 with higher performance MINIs. To ensure the smoothest possible flow, we use our patented filter housing in conjunction with a CNC-milled MAF tube to ensure the smoothest possible flow to the turbo. The OEM intake system draws air from behind the front grille, above the radiator. The openings for ambient air intake are relatively small and can therefore lead to heat buildup in the intake, especially in a tuned Mini. The OEM hood scoop does not directly supply air to the intake tract, 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 for the OEM part and latches in with the same mounting method. It has 2 inlet ramps that guide ambient air through the existing cutouts on the hood into the intake duct (see below). When the vehicle accelerates, more air is pushed into the duct, reducing intake temperatures to a minimum and preventing the problem of heat ingress. 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 offers incredible aesthetics for the vehicle. To further enhance the aesthetics, we used a V-weave split with the carbon to achieve a symmetrical profile that works well and seats the scoop in the center of the hood.

Carbon intake duct:
The OEM duct only draws air from behind the front grille and is very shallow above the slam panel. We have redesigned the duct to allow air in from the grille and also from the scoop. In addition, our duct has a much larger internal volume, allowing the intake system to breathe with fewer restrictions. To protect against heat from the engine bay, the duct has a flexible rubber ring around the openings on the underside of the hood, which seals with the hood when closed. It also has a stretchable rubber edge around the opening to the filter housing, which ensures a good seal to the filter and allows movement with the engine.

Performance data:
Dyno tests were performed on both a Cooper S and a JCW. The Cooper S had a Stage 1 remap for the stock airbox and the Eventuri. The JCW had a Stage 2 remap and downpipe for the stock airbox and Eventuri. The Cooper S showed a peak gain of approx. 8hp and 11ft-lb torque, but higher mid-range gains of 15hp and 25ft-lb 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 torque with a very good power increase across the entire rev range. These power increases were measured after only changing the stock airbox for the Eventuri intake - all other changes were present for both the stock airbox and the Eventuri intake.

The gains measured on the dyno translate to increased part-throttle and full-throttle response on the road, with the car pulling to the redline much more eagerly. The tests were performed back-to-back on the same day and temperatures were monitored.
