Detailed Analysis: BMW E9x M3 Eventuri Intake E90 E92 E93

[@nichollpictures]

More aftermarket companies need to provide in depth videos like this for their products. Great video.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We do try! Thanks for the comments

[@EvolveAutomotive]

@@user-uy3ti3nj5u Number 1 it is £799 not £1000. Secondly no £100 intake does what this one does. So you're wrong on both accounts. Other companies don't do this and share logs as the logs prove the intake is working: IAT's are lower and the ECU is seeing more airflow.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks Justin! We can recommend a few places in the LA area to install our parts :)

[@imfuctifino]

For 800 quid, you could have surface resin coated the inside of the tube to make it a smooth as the outer surface . All that exposed carbon will add to turbulence.

[@SaimonZ69]

Valid point and I thought the same. I wonder how come this to the point comment received no reply form EVOLVE while all others have 🤔

[@irr_M3]

Well explained video of an excellent product. Just bought one for my E92 M3 and love it. Subtle difference in intake noise.

[@chaskahlon6450]

Great British product, very in-depth explanation. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Brilliant video! Having mine installed on my E92 in June, as well as the GTS map for my gearbox :)

[@M1LIFECREATIVE]

I really enjoyed the detail you went into, GREAT video :) It highlights just how important air flow is too; 9 bhp is a really good gain I think.

LivingLifeFast Why would you pay to reduce engine power and efficiency with a hot air intake? This is a STUPID design.

[@qasimhameed2837]

​@@Mrbfgray all the results are showing before and after, there is nothing such as reduce engine power with an intake system, either it doesn't add power or slightly increase power, get your facts right.

pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@BenjaminHirsch1]

Thank you for taking the time to go over the design strategy of your intake, like others I wish more manufacturers would do this. Love it. I just had a kit delivered (gilroy,CA), although I'm still waiting on the plenum (Hopefully soon). Great kit though, the craftmanship is top notch, and love the air-speed and temp analysis!

[@qasimhameed2837]

Totally sold!, I was searching on m3 intake systems then found this, different level engineering, well done, 1 thing only is that scoop would have looked much better in matte carbon finish

[@duck748r]

I’d love to see an independent test on how much power this intake makes.

[@Fantic1980]

I got 9 HP from K & N drop in filters and that cost me 65 quid. I think the filter medium has a lot to do with the result. The F80\82 set is 1900 quid ... that's a lot of money for those gains. Looks nice though.

[@mueedk2]

2:00 that reading isn’t at the wheels right? Did it apply the 15% drivetrain loss or soemthing?

its says its at the flywheel on the right side of the graph

[@johnmclaughlin2845]

I think the scoop at fog light the standard one is better to stop stones going in

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes but we have a guard for the filter should that occur. We have not seen any evidence of it yet but we wanted to be safe.

[@andyneocleous]

[@Jolinator]

Love the in depth video and transparency its a lovely looking quality piece. If i buy two can you throw in Imran's guide to maintaining a legendary beard and some beard oil? lol

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Thanks! That guide would cost more than 2 intakes. Good idea though!

[@roymoorman5990]

Here I was, thinking the actual airflow in the airbox is managed/restricted by the outlet in the bonnet , creating a positive pressure in the airbox under higher vehicle speed. You can see sometimes when you ingest some spray into the airbox and it spits it out onto your windshield. You right-hand drivers are lucky you get it on the passenger side :D

[@vkolpdj]

Can you elaborate a bit? This morning it was pouring rain and I downshifted (DCT) and the vent shot out air and water like a blowhole on a whale and I was so confused lol

[@roymoorman5990]

@@vkolpdj I think savagegeese has some vid from M division showing the airflow through the airbox. I don't know aerodynamics that well but I can imagine that it requires less force to take in air that is already moving as opposed to still air before throttles opened.

[@mousiee7]

Great R&D, product and video. Just wish you made products for my car; 2011 550i (n63 motor)

[@EvolveAutomotive]

mousiee7 thanks! We have to develop what there is demand for unfortunately

[@mousiee7]

Evolve Automotive I know, I know. I picked the wrong car. Lol

[@tahirchoonara1317]

Hey Imran. Would the stock tune of the car not cause any restrictions on achieving more air in to the system? Would an EUC tune to adjust the look up max values increase the chances of more HP?

[@vkolpdj]

Great questions, I am wondering the same thing.

[@mhperformace1769]

Hey I was on Wednesday at the Essen Motor Show but did not see you on CFD

[@Simpleboneguy]

Amazing guys!

[@ndj4267]

Isn't the duct ridge there to prevent water and debris from splashing up? I guess your custom fitting on the intake filter resolves that issue.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

That’s part of its function yes, which is why the Eventuri has a guard on the filter

[@erniearambula3525]

The design makes complete sense "Genius "

[@Master-bp8pd]

Does tune help further to the air flow tube or those are independent of one another? Does CF plenum add ANY more power?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Tune is completely independent, the intake doesn't require a tune to make additional power. The Eventuri Plenum is a 1:1 copy of the original to retain OEM levels of drivability and therefore makes no additional power.

[@freud2695]

Ok. Finally it's here. I have a MS intake on mine which sounds great but hell does this look heaps better ! Anyboby want to buy a MS intake so I can justify getting this one?

Epic Video!! Thank You!!

[@alexmartinez280]

I have been running the Dinan Carbon pipe with their BIG blue filters. I wonder how this would perform against mine. Very nice design and execution!

[@nicholaswong2267]

i would they would perform almost identical if the dinan doesnt perform better as the dinan has a shorter tube

[@Mrbfgray]

If you capture air from the engine bay you will reduce performance, the stock is a cold air intake and this garbage design is HOT air intake. Bogus claims, stupid design.

[@TheZisco]

@@Mrbfgray its a closed intake system. Its a proper cold air intake. I saw many of your comments, it seems like you havent seen the video. As an automotive engineer I can tell you for sure this is a nicely done cold air intake. No need to he harsh on other people work.

[@Mrbfgray]

@@TheZisco When it's a SCAM it's proper to call it such. It's taking the air from the engine bay, that's NOT a cold air intake, it's a HOT air intake, who do you think you'er fooling?

[@TheZisco]

@@Mrbfgray what ??? See the video !!! It is not getting air from the engine bay , it similar to the oem setup

[@mattclark1111]

Interesting that they chose a mold that makes the smooth side on the outside for looks, and the inside is rough. Still looks like a very high quality carbon piece, but if you look at a racing piece, you will see rough on the outside and perfectly smooth on the inside.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Constant improvements have been made and the inside of the latest intakes we have fitted are very smooth. Of course for a consumer product aesthetics have to be considered which is why the exterior is the ‘finished’ side.

[@MotaDrives]

The dyno figures...are they based on flywheel numbers? Never seen a N/a s65 make that much hp to the wheel.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes Flywheel

[@MotaDrives]

[@davidkoreck1341]

Alot better demonstration

[@MiklaDfar]

Excellent video and technical explanation. Would you recommend a dry charger for real wet conditions? I am pretty nervous after hydro-locking a different car with a similar setup in a big rain storm. Might be worth a dyno run with a dry charger for additional protection.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

The intake was tested in very wet conditions in the UK before release and we saw no issues. The product has been in the wild for over a year now and we have had no such issues reported.

[@PHM4Life]

awesome video! will be purchasing soon enough hopefully....also what brand glasses?.....

[@bitsandpiecesonly6462]

Can i keep the air filter cover off ? I know that water will go through the vent but will it be alright?!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We wouldn’t advise fitting the kit any way other than how Eventuri intended.

Lots of stuff I didn't know and I own one. Very interesting.

[@eastoakland-S65feen]

What yr do you have & is it 6spd or DCT?? JW Because im looking into getting one soon🙏

[@Croco05]

I love the intake a lot. But still a lot of people told me this air intake actually reduce power instead of increase. Really want to convince myself this is good 😅 no extra power is ok. But I hope this won’t reduce my HP.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We have tested this numerous times, along with trusted third parties doing independent tests, and they all found it to increase power.

[@S58PSHIFTING]

what is the cost?

[@lurix91]

and the water that come in the airbox?

[@gpajic1987]

Is there much intake sound increase?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Yes, but if you’re looking for a real sound increase then the Eventuri Carbon Plenum is the way to go. The intake is mainly focused on power increase.

[@imSchwaggy]

wait wtf 417-425whp stock?

[@johnlu8495]

How much of the 9hp ATW difference was due to the filter and how much of it was due to the elbow piece?

[@Mrbfgray]

It's a bogus claim, entire advertisement is BS, they removed a PROPER cold air intake and replaced it with a HOT air intake, that will reduce performance. Retarded mod.

[@FiftyCalFit]

Bo McGilacutty You sound real bitter. Until you can back your claim like this advertisement did, your OPINION isn't worth shit.

[@Mrbfgray]

Calvin Sanders Bitter? Do you not understand the reasons for a cold air intake versus a hot intake? When you pull air from the HOT engine bay instead of in front of the car as BMW engineers do there is a small but significant penalty in performance...advertisement is clearly bogus. Go ahead if you like the appearance and purchase this garbage, I know better, my M3 will remain stock in this respect, the factory intake is designed very well, it even keeps cool air flowing *through the air box* when off the throttle so it won't warm as much, difficult to improve on but easy to make worse. Only ignorant children fall for this sort of thing.

[@FiftyCalFit]

Bo McGillacutty did you not watch the WHOLE video? The intake still uses the original air box and they even improved air flow to that air box. Watch the whole video before you make your false statements.

[@FiftyCalFit]

Bo McGillacutty and only children go through the whole comments of a video talking a bunch of nonsense before watching the whole video.

[@AdDaManGT]

Awesome video. But is it just me that thinks 80% of the gains of this kit come from the intake scoop at the bottom! Cant you sell that on its own Imran??

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Majority of gain is from the intake tube actually but no the scoop is not available on its own.

[@mhperformace1769]

Evolve Automotive bitte gerne :) yes we see us ;)

[@TheMpamMpam]

I can understand the cost factor of carbon fiber parts but it seems strange to me why BMW would design some parts that restrict air for no apparent reason? It is not that they luck mechanichs and air tunnels... Maybe there is a reliability loss?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

There’s no loss of reliability. BMW have many more factors to consider, such as NVH. The stock design will be partially designed to keep noise levels down. It also needs to be easy to mass produce in large numbers. An aftermarket manufacturer who wants that noise and is manufacturing on a much smaller scale and at a higher cost can make changes that BMW chose not to for whatever reason. When designing a car they have a set performance point, the stock system was adequate for that goal.

[@dertyherry313]

do you need a tune after install?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

No tune is needed, the ECU can adapt to the extra cold airflow that the intake provides. Paired with a Primary Cat Delete and ECU tune it really derestricts the engine, for a much better flow of gasses and more power.
