Company

Eventuri was founded by a team of engineers and enthusiasts with a background in Aeronautics and tuning – all sharing a passion for cars and performance. After owning various intakes over many years for their own cars and being disappointed with the gains which seldom lived up to their claims, they decided to take things into their own hands and rewrite the book. To set a new benchmark in intake design and technology, above all – to engineer systems which provide real gains and then to publish genuine figures.

Eventuri’s systems are extensively developed using cutting edge design, testing and prototyping methods. With a focus on performance, each design undergoes CFD analysis and is then validated at the prototype stage through volumetric airflow, intake temperature and extensive dynamometer testing. Eventuri strive to publish all the development information to illustrate the depths they go to in bringing an intake from concept to reality.

Only the best materials are selected for each component – even down to the choice of fasteners and fixings in order to ensure that the quality of the end product is second to none.

After many years of disappointment with the usual aftermarket intakes, Eventuri are proud to be raising the bar and creating intake systems which are setting a new standard and that genuinely improve the performance of your vehicle.

Technology

With so many aftermarket intakes available, you might be asking yourself:

“What is so special about an Eventuri Intake?”

There are three main fundamentals that sets Eventuri apart from the rest:

1. The Patented Eventuri filter housing design

2. Eventuri’s Bespoke Filters

3. Eventuri’s emphasis on creating a “Complete Solution”

 

 

THE PATENTED EVENTURI FILTER

Even at first glance the Eventuri intake looks very different to other aftermarket intakes. Unlike the majority of intakes, which use the same cone filter/tube/heat shield configuration, the Eventuri design is fundamentally different and has been Patented.

AFTERMARKET INTAKE SYSTEMS

Most aftermarket intakes use a cone filter mated to an inlet tube with some type of heat shielding. In this configuration, airflow must negotiate a path from the large diameter at the base of the filter through to the smaller diameter of the inlet tube in a relatively short distance. There is usually a velocity stack at the base of the filter to help with the transition, however the stack is usually small. This sudden transition in geometry is detrimental for flow. The result is a loss of throttle response and performance gains are usually limited over the OEM intake system. The diagram to the right shows a typical aftermarket intake using a cone filter secured to an engine inlet tube. The filter uses a standard velocity stack, which has been highlighted in yellow.

 

THE EVENTURI INTAKE SYSTEM

The Eventuri is a new type of intake design, which has been granted a patent. Eventuri use a cone filter – but here it is inverted and decoupled from the inlet tube. By removing the direct connection between the filter and the inlet tube, the filter is no longer dictating the shape of the airflow. This is now being done by the carbon housing, which is designed to smoothly guide the air into the inlet tube without a sudden change in geometry. This means that they keep laminar conditions throughout the intake, which is a lot more efficient. Furthermore, the funnel-shaped housing invokes the Venturi effect where the smooth reduction in cross-sectional area along the length of the housing causes the airflow to increase in velocity. Essentially the entire housing acts as a large velocity stack. On the road this translates to more power with a smoother delivery as well as sharper throttle response, since the airflow is not inhibited by abrupt geometry changes and so is more likely to remain laminar. The diagram to the left shows an Eventuri intake system using a reverse mounted filter inside an Eventuri housing. The large velocity stack area is highlighted in yellow.

EVENTURI BESPOKE FILTERS

The final element to Eventuri’s design – which is as important, is their emphasis on creating a complete solution. Eventuri dedicate a lot of design effort to ensuring the filter housings are provided with ambient air in the most efficient way possible. Allowing the filters to draw in heated air from the engine bay defeats the objective and in many cases is the cause of an actual loss in power over the stock system, once the engine bay is heat soaked. Simply using heat shields is not enough – there must also be a method of channelling cold air into the intake. This is where Eventuri have seen some companies use “scoops” that on closer inspection are usually very flat and almost perpendicular to the oncoming air. Not the ideal solution for trying to redirect air at high speeds! Eventuri’s scoop designs have, where possible a curved face for as much of the exposed area as possible, in order to smoothly redirect incoming air to the filters. In doing so, they ensure that engine bay heat is displaced and so intake air temperatures are kept as low as possible.

From scoop to duct to housing to inlet tubing – by utilizing organic shapes, Eventuri invest a great deal of time and effort in providing a smooth path for the airflow to follow, hence ensuring maximum efficiency of the system.
