Best install video because you include what tools are needed and show what you are doing, not just tell me what you are doing. (I learn more from watching then reading instructions in this case.)

[@tweedbean]

Nice one, glad it was useful

[@GeraldRisch]

Nice solid video. Just purchased mine. New front grille and intake to put on.

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching, good luck with the install

[@KCnLex]

PS put a towel or big old sheet over engine bay so if you do drop the screw on the bonnet scoop it is easy to pick up and not lost in the engine bay (I have nerve damage resulting to loss of sensation to the ends of 5 fingers and boy do I drop a lot and have tons of preventives because with me it is when not if I drop the bolt!

Not for fitting an intake, why do you ask?

[@chrisc7892]

Nice sound ...but will it work on 2019 Mini Cooper LCI due to “petrol particulate filter” !!!

[@tweedbean]

Thanks for watching, I am not 100% sure, I would assume it would be fine as the PPF is linked to the exhaust from memory. Best checking with your supplier or the manufacturer Eventuri.

[@ed366]

Thank you for these explanations. I just installed it. For the maintenance of the filter, do you have to put oil or just blow it? Thanks for your answer.

[@tweedbean]

As far as I’m aware these are dry filters, I couldn’t see much info on their website re maintenance if the filters.

[@ed366]

@@tweedbean Thank you. Eventuri confirmed to me that the filter is dry and that no oil should be put.

[@matthewbrady7848]

Eventuri has designed a number of rain protections into the intake. Have you experienced any problems driving the MINI in the rain for long periods of time? Thanks.

[@tweedbean]

Hi thanks for watching, I’ve had no issues with rain

[@silverf56]

Just purchased the updated hood emblem... Do you know if I can just use a trim removal tool to pry the old one off, or is there is anything special to do??

[@tweedbean]

Hi I haven’t done this on the F56 but I have on previous gens. To remove you can use a plastic pry tool. I’ve used some heat from a hair dryer to gently warm/soften the glue then ran fishing line between the car and the badge to cut through the foam/glue. Be care with a pry tool as you don’t want to damage the bonnet. Remember the badges have two prongs on the back that locate it straight on the bonnet meaning if you are trying to debadge you will be left with two holes. Obviously if you are fitting a new badge this point doesn’t matter.

[@silverf56]

@@tweedbean awesome! Thanks so much

[@AlbaderBohamad]

I know I'm 2 years late to give this advice, but I would advise not to use a pry toot at all. Use a fishing line and the heat from a hair dryer. Because if you use a pry tool to pry up the emblem, then surely, then other end of the emblem is going to dig into the panel. Because the emblem is a solid plastic piece and only has so much flexibility.

[@silverf56]

Hey man, where did you buy this kit? Will it work for a Mini JCW 2020? Thank you.

[@tweedbean]

Hi I purchased mine from Orranje Performance, you would need to reach out to them to understand if it would fit a 2020 JCW. Thanks for watching

[@mikewils3376]

Do not spend that much money to get only 3 hp read the fine print the only time you getting 20 to 30 hp gains is when you have a stage one to stage two kit

[@Oplix]

I really wish they made a non carbon version that's considerably cheaper. $1000+ for an intake is just insane money and with 3d printing I don't know why someone doesn't just copy the design in a plastic variant.

[@tweedbean]

They do Mini F56 How to fit the plastic Eventuri Intake what I think of it? Is it as good as the carbon one kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKazindqYqugr7M

[@theoutsider6191]

Any chance you know how sound the stage 1 type map on stock late 2018 Cooper S is to do? I have been considering that, but have also seen a fair bit online about B48 192bhp engines going bang after that mod (both in Mini and BMW cars) because pistons get damaged because of the map. But also i know MIni used to do a map mod on the pre 2018 cars when installing the Pro exhaust on Cooper S cars. I believe the Mini installed map was up to the Cooper S Works standard, so know this is likely to be OK in terms of bhp and torque increases, but am a not so confident that the sort of numbers i've seen for the like of Dervtech et al of 260bhp and near 50% extra torque would be wise for the engine. Any thoughts welcome 🙂 I should add that in digging around on this, i found that although the engines are the same block for the JCW and Coop S, the JCW engine has different pistons and components in other areas. I think it is assumed they are more similar than they actually are, hence my wanting to make sure i won't damage the engine by mapping.

[@tweedbean]

I ran my first cooper S F56 on a manic motorpsort map for a couple of years no problem. That was running 300bhp - 460nm torque, probably could do with a decent clutch long term to support it. That car is still going strong with its new owner

[@theoutsider6191]

@@tweedbean Did you do any other mods to the car like exhaust or intake or pistons at the same time as the tune? Or was the car standard except for the remap?

[@tweedbean]

@@theoutsider6191 intake/exhaust/intercooler at that point with the map

[@Doppo69]

I’ve got a cooper s 2017, tbh if you want reliability I would just leave it as stock a map puts pressure on so many factors clutch gearbox turbo etc all the mega expensive things to replace I would probably do a resonator delete and air filter and your good if you want quicker buy the jcw, think the engines are better built with forged components for a map If you have to get a map I would only increase too 230hp and slight increase in torque to save the clutch to be on the safe side

[@AlbaderBohamad]

Now that you've changed some performance hardware on the car. Doesn't that mean it needs to be returned to get the added benufit of the performance hardware you've added?

[@tweedbean]

Nope the map was ok with this mod

[@AlbaderBohamad]

@@tweedbean but it was optimized for the stock hardware that was on the car. Now the hardware has changed

Will it work for the F57?

[@tweedbean]

Hi it’s listed as fitting F54 F55 F56 may be worth you checking with Orranje or eventuri

[@964cuplove]

Seems weird to fit a much narrower filter box… also with a turbo actually sucking in all the air it can get does the RAM effect really do anything ? Is there true increase in power \ torque or reduction in fuel consumption ?!

[@tweedbean]

Theres so many differing opinions on all that,

[@964cuplove]

@@tweedbeansure but a rolling road should answer the horsepower torque questions. And you could measure pressure before and after the airfilter at various speeds which could tell you about the ram air effect… 😊

[@SirGiggz]

I wonder about taking that through a car wash if it's safe without pulling in the water and all?!

Thanks for watching, I would never take my car through a car wash so if no concern to me however if you have a concern around water ingress, you can purchase air filter covers that stop water

@@wilsonsilva6702 Hi its absolutely fine to wash your car and drive in the rain, I just specifically answered your question about automated car washes

[@AlbaderBohamad]

There's a video on KZbin where the folks at Eventuri showing that the bottom of the intake near the filter there's drain hole 🕳 for the rain. Kinda defeats the purpose of this whole product because air could also escape through that hole instead of getting pushed into the engine. But then again, I'm not a professional at this stuff

I think $1700-$2300 is ridiculous the product get you about 3 to 5 hp if you’re lucky if you read the article and it says 20 to 30+ horsepower that’s with the stage water stage two kit installed on the car so you’re basically spending almost 2K to get 3 hp 3 hp

[@tweedbean]

Don’t forget the visuals too as the bonnet scoop looks great, that would cost you a few hundred pounds just for that in carbon from other manufacturers and for some people under the bonnet looking good is a selling point, not to everyone but to some. And it sounds epic. And it’s not losing hp which is a great start, mods aren’t just about adding performance to some people, there are other factors than hp gains. Each to their own
