Vehicle models change and evolve, as they grow older, so the vehicle shown in our illustrations may vary slightly from yours. Want this Installed on your car by one of our Certified Installers? Removing, disabling, or altering emissions equipment on a pollution-controlled road vehicle is illegal. Removing the intake manifold will also give you easy access to the engine starter, knock sensors or coolant pipes and hoses. Always catch fluids in appropriate containers and properly dispose of any fluid waste. Product Description The engineers at Evolve has spent much time in ensuring the carbon airbox was produced by only the best motorsport development companies.
The sizes of the nuts and bolts we give may be different from what you have, so be prepared with different size sockets and wrenches. If you find oil inside your intake manifold, replace the crankcase breather valve. Over time, the boots harden from heat or they swell from oil contamination. It's use is prohibited in any motor vehicle that is subject to emissions inspection or control. This plenum is great when packaging is an issue due to the internal filter. This high-quality unit is made from high-grade carbon fiber with internal trumpets and proper fittings, unlike many cheap copies from Europe that only look similar from the outside, and only from 10' away. On the other hand, if you're upgrading your car with an exhaust and headers to move more air and make big power, this carbon airbox has the ideal design to support the effort.
This scoop is constructed of lightweight powder-coated matte red aluminum for reduced weight, greater strength and unique styling. The flow characteristics of the one-piece plastic shell are enhanced by internal funneling cones to direct the intake air to the throttle housings. Each precision-engineered intake component and filter offers excellent design and construction, lifetime cleanable cotton filters that breathe easier than paper filters, powder-coated heat shields to block out hot engine air, and measurable performance gains resulting in increased horse power and torque. Figure 13 The plenum is attached to the throttle housings by rubber sleeves. Do not work on your vehicle if you feel the task is beyond your ability. Lower Intake Air Temperature: Dynamic air scoops lower intake air temperatures by forcing more cool air from the front grille into the intake snorkel.
Depending on the model the S54 is installed in, it will vary slightly, due to engine compartment restrictions. This translates on the road to increased part throttle and full throttle response with the car pulling much more eagerly to the redline. It's only heard when you apply large amounts of load at engine speeds over 2500 rpm. This version uses aFe's highest flowing filter media, which uses a lightly oil gauze to filter out dirt and particulates, while allowing more air to flow to the intake. Clean the inside of the intake manifold thoroughly, and be careful not to get any debris inside the cylinder head during the procedure. Recycle parts, packaging and fluids when possible.
It's use is prohibited in any motor vehicle that is subject to emissions inspection or control. The main shield is part of the intake assembly as above. It has been designed to take up half the height of the duct in order to allow airflow to still continue through the duct for the brakes. The manifold is designed for maximum volume required for the S54 engine. On the other hand, if you're upgrading your car with a built race engine, exhaust and headers to move the most air possible and make big power, this carbon airbox has the ideal design to support the effort. Legal in California only for racing vehicles that may never be used, or registered or licensed for use, upon a highway.
Although the Eventuri system does not require a remap — we have seen further gains when the E46 M3 is subsequently remapped. Hold the manifold close to the throttle housings. Maximum Flow Pro5R Filter This intake kit replaces your restrictive factory air box. Do you have questions or want to add to the article? A direct performance replacement filter for your stock air box. All of the components in a Stage 1 Kit plus additional intake tubing or ducting after the air box or air mass meter.
This product is sold only for racing, competition, track, hobby, or other off-road use. Depending on the model the S54 is installed in, it will vary slightly, due to engine compartment restrictions. Metal scoops or ducts that create a 'ram-air' effect to the intake. Protect your eyes, hands and body from fluids, dust and debris while working on your vehicle. Constructed of 3-ply silicone, it's smoother for less turbulence and more durable for less maintenance. The last shield secures to the chassis underneath the carbon housing to minimise direct heat soak from the block.
The scoop is so effective that even after a hard drive, the aluminium cowl at the mouth of the intake will still feel cold to touch! There is then an extension shield which fits onto the main shield and blocks hot air from the radiator. There has always been a trade off in some way or another be it fuel economy, rough idle or poor performance. There has always been a trade off in some way or another be it fuel economy, rough idle or poor performance. This is for race and heavily modified cars only! Figure 19 To install: Install the manifold to the throttle housings with new clamps. The graph below shows another E46 M3 with 3 curves — stock, Eventuri and then Eventuri with a remap. S Scoop: This Dynamic Air Scoop is constructed with lightweight aluminum for strength and finished off by a matte red powder-coated finish. This version has an oil-free filter media for less maintenance.
Double check the wiring harness routing and hose connections. Reinstall the remaining items in the reverse order of removal. The result — more power, throttle response and sound. A special tool clamp pliers is required to secure the one-time use clamps. The advantages over any other modification are that no other gives as much power gain and the noise is not like that of an exhaust system.
