Details
Please enter the last 7 digits of your VIN in the field by the price
when you place your order so we can confirm the correct intake is being
ordered.
This part number (or variants of the product on this page) does NOT fit the 306 HP JCW models. If your MINI is one of these JCW models you will need the EVE-JCWGP3-INT version. Please consider texting or emailing your full VIN before ordering so we can confirm.
Please note that there is build date change to this part number. MINI changed the Mass Air Flow sensor in late 2019 and on our drop down menu we have a option for PRE LCI or LCI (please see detailed image for the MAF to determine which is needed).
Also note that this intake system is available in 2 variations. While BOTH have the carbon fiber hood scoop, one version has a carbon fiber main chamber/funnel AND air filter housing and then there is a lower cost version that has black plastic chamber/funnel and air filter housing. Please see drop down menu for both options.
F5X MINI COOPER S + JCW
Performance Increase Cooper S: 8-15hp, 15-25ft-lb
Performance Increase Cooper JCW: 15-27hp, 20-26ft-lb*
V-Box Acceleration Cooper S : 60-130mph Reduced By 0.6 Seconds
The F5X JCW Eventuri intake system is a perfect example of a “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 a 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.
Each intake system consists of:
Carbon Fiber OR Plastic Venturi Filter Housing
Bespoke High Flow Non-Woven Mesh, Dry Cone Filter
Carbon Fibre inlet Duct
Carbon Fibre OR Plastic Hood/ Inlet Scoop
CNC Machined and insulated MAF Tube
Laser Cut Stainless Steel Bracket Work
High Quality Silicone Coupler
The F545/6/7/60 MINI Eventuri intake system is another example of a “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 filter housing coupled with a CNC machined MAF tube to ensure the smoothest possible flow to the turbo.
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.

I wanted a manual transmission more than all wheel drive and better engine, so ordered the Clubman S rather than JCW, thinking that the money saved could be used to upgrade areas that were perhaps a bit lacking. Other than the horrid run flat tires the first thing that bugged me was it seemed to lag off the mark. Although my goal isn't to go faster but rathr to handle the best possible on challenging twisty roads, it seemed clear that there would be an overlap between handling and horsepower!
After replacing the tires, this Eventuri was my next project. There was a couple months delay between order and receipt so I was thrilled when it arrived. It is simply fabulous. I have no complaints. Well I wish they would have included instructions in the box, but there are wonderful detailed instructions with photographic illustrations available to download from Eventuri. Those instructions are top notch. I also watched YouTube Videos and while there are a few differences where you need to follow the Eventuri ones, the vid by tweedbean I found to be most helpful. Keep in mind that I had to watch a video on how to use a socket set (it had been years since I last used one) before I could even complete the first steps! In other words if I with my limited knowledge can install this so can you. It took my several hours but I am slow and quadruple checked everything.
Was it worth it? Without question it makes a tremendous difference in decreasing that lag between giving it gas and the car actually responding. It also improves the engine sound. It now has a deeper, throatier sound which is very pleasing. It is not obnoxious, just sounds deeper.
I got the black plastic rather than carbon fiber. If I was involved in shows where folks looked under the hood, maybe the carbon fiber could be justified. I corresponded with Eventuri and the thermal improvement if any between the two was very little. So I saved the $600 to use in another project and went with the less expensive option. There is a wee bit of me that wishes I had selected the carbon fiber. I had already at great expense blacked out the chrome everywhere so I wasn't thrilled with a carbon fiber scoop and thought I would spray paint it black. Don't have a cow, after installing it, I decided it was dark enough to work with the black trim pieces everywhere else.
Advantages: Can install yourself. Looks good. Works great.
Disadvantages: Cost.
