Air scoops an easy install? Bolt on? Thx

Very easy, just pop off the grill and they clip right onto the front strut bars. The autoteknik ones seem to have the most "open" design so I went with those.

Thank - you just cost me another $300 😂🍻

eh?

What part of the eventuri setup isn't enclosed...

If you mean the scoops at the front - thats the same as stock, eventuri's are just bigger....

I don't believe they are sealed as tightly along the edges where the filters go, at least not as much as the stock air boxes as hot air can possibly still get through those borders. Not saying they aren't well made, I'd just personally rather use inlets with factory tight airboxes and filters+scoops I find it's the most efficient intake setup for these cars.

Having been a customer on the RS3 side w/ the v3 intake and RHD inlet, definitely interested - particularly if the spool improvements observed on that platform are seen here on the S63TU4

Yes will share testing and data with Eventuri V2 with stock inlets and then with Eventuri Inlets on Evolve's shop car.

If they made a V3 with bigger turbo inlets that matted to bigger intake, that would have been optimal. This new inlet looks like more For looks and will probably be a very slight improvement from stock

Not at all. V3 with bigger turbo inlets mated to a bigger intake was designed, 3D printed and tested on 2 1000 BHP F90 M5's. If it made a positive difference over what is being released it would have been put into production.

Irman I appreciate all your amazing work and R&D. Excuse my dumb question, but will your team at eventuri be releasing the turbo inlet on the left or right in that image?

Thanks!

The design on the left hand side is being released.

Do we have an ETA for this product? Thank you Imran

Just working on the launch now so should be 1-2 weeks.

Spool doesn't equate to HP Gain and that is the point. None the less the CAI produces a nice sound but it doesn't gain any extra ponies. The fastest M5 is on stock airbox.

Maybe not, but why do they all claim to gain something? Maybe inlets gain a bit but intakes don't.

Because a claim is claim, I can claim anything i want. The question is where is the Dyno proof from the manufacturers of these productsm that their CAI works on the "F90 Platform"?

You are a newbie, and don't take that as an insult but those CAI doesn't produce any additional power.

I had them all along with my previous M5's.

No newb here, I already knew CAI just improved throttle response and sound/looks it's not news to me, I'm just asking how they can say it does when it doesn't. Pretty sure dinan even released a dyno chart showing this, but then your still going to say every time you dyno it's always showing a different number, so how can we know it really gained 10-20whp lol.

I'll go as far as saying for an intake a dyno wouldn't even prove anything anyways, because it doesn't have the airflow like when driving the car in real life. Only a dragy under same DA/conditions being tested can prove it and even then it would be very minimal and hard to say, but the throttle response and the fact that it makes the turbos spool up faster/easier are definitely some nice benefits to have.

Installed the dinans and had the braces that intake goes thru in place just for reference as to how close the opening of dinan inlets is to the brace (it’s 2”).
I had marked on the eventual intake where it passes thru the brace as reference point as well. Then I had to cut the intake. At first I was going to cut at close to 2” from that reference point so the dinans and eventuri would almost butt up against each other but realized that eventuri was still much smaller in opening diameter than the dinan. So I had to cut about 1.5’” further up so openings match up(evenruri widens up further down). There is a 1.5” ga between the two without the coupling in place. Installed the 4.25” diameter coupling to connect the two together. Ads more sound and removes the bottleneck restriction of stock inlets…best of both worlds.

Not for everyone as some won’t want to cut their pretty intakes but I think it functions better.

Eventuri is supposed to come out with their own inlets but I don’t see how you can make it work with existing intake as it bottlenecks down to the stock inlet size.
Pic shows how much had to be cut to match up with dinan inlet opening size.

Never asked you performace wise any difference?

Thanks to you brother for directions. Easy install and love the outcome. If you hadn't done it I would have never known.

Awesome job, super clean install

Do the inlets work with stock intakes?
