Eventuri Mini JCW GP3 / Clubman / JCW 306HP Carbon Fibre Air Intake

The F5X JCW Eventuri intake system is a perfect example of our “Complete System” principal. It is a sealed system which ensures that the turbo does not draw hot air from the engine bay but enhanced with a functional bonnet scoop which forces ambient air into the intake duct. This duct has a larger internal volume than the stock version and also draws air from the stock location above the radiator. The combination of a sealed system with an air scoop results in lower intake temperatures than the stock airbox and avoids heat soak which is a common issue especially on higher powered MINIs. To ensure the smoothest flow possible we use our Patented Venturi filter housing which has an integrated MAF section for a seamless flow path to the turbo.

The Eventuri Difference

The F5X JCW Eventuri system uses our Patented Carbon fiber Housing which provides an aerodynamically efficient airflow path from the filter to the turbo. Not just another cone filter with a heat shield but a unique design which invokes the Venturi affect and maintains laminar flow conditions to reduce the drag on the turbo.

The OEM duct only draws air from behind the front grill and is very shallow over the slam panel. We have redesigned the duct to allow air in from the grill and also from the scoop. Furthermore, our duct has a much larger internal volume which allows the intake system to breath with less restriction. In order to protect against engine bay heat – the duct has a flexible rubber edging around the openings to the underside of the bonnet which seals to the bonnet once closed. It also has an expandable rubber edging around the opening to the filter housing which ensures a good seal to the filter as well as allowing movement with the engine.

The Eventuri F5X JCW intake system consists of a number of components engineered to perform a specific purpose and fabricated to the highest of standards. Here are the details for each component and the design ethos behind them:

Each intake system consists of:

Carbon Fibre Venturi Filter Housing with integrated MAF tube
Bespoke High Flow Dry Filter
Carbon Fibre inlet Duct
Carbon Fibre Inlet Scoop
CNC Machined MAF Boss
Laser Cut Stainless Steel Bracket Work

WATER DRAINAGE
Since we have a direct airflow path to the filter, it is important that we also allow for water to be drained before reaching the filter. In order to protect against excess water ingress, we have designed several features into the intake components as follows.

1) The top of the scoop covers the openings which stops rainfall entering the duct when the car is at a standstill.
2) The scoop has 2 flow directing ramps which also act as a water barrier by forcing the water to fall down onto the base of the duct rather than moving straight to the filter area.
3) The duct has 2 openings to allow water to drain out – above the radiator and also a drain hole before the filter housing connection.
4) The face of the duct as it meets the filter housing has a wall on which the rubber edging is secured. This wall stops any build up of water from directly entering the filter and water is drained through the extra drain hole.
