Eventuri Black Carbon Intake System for F5X Mini JCW GP3 / JCW Clubman

Eventuri’s F5X JCW intake system exemplifies its Complete System principle. The design employs a fully sealed airpath so the turbo draws only ambient air, enhanced by a functional bonnet scoop that actively feeds the intake duct. This duct offers greater internal volume than the OEM piece and also sources air from the factory location above the radiator. Together, the sealed architecture and scoop reduce intake temperatures versus the stock airbox and mitigate heat soak—particularly on higher powered MINIs. For the smoothest possible airflow, Eventuri utilizes its Patented Venturi filter housing with an integrated MAF section, creating a seamless flow path to the turbo.

FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY

• Eventuri’s filter housing comprises a bespoke Gen 2 filter, an aluminium inlet cowl, a stainless steel bracket, and an integrated MAF section. The carbon pod shrouds the reverse-mounted filter and progressively guides airflow into the MAF, which then mates to the factory inlet tube. In contrast to the OEM airbox—where air enters from the front, turns 90° through the panel filter, then turns another 90° to reach the MAF—the Eventuri architecture is significantly more direct. Air enters the front of the housing and proceeds into the MAF without abrupt direction changes. The result is a smoother path from filter to turbo inlet tube, allowing the turbo to operate with reduced restriction.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

• Eventuri’s patented filter housing tapers with a smooth reduction in cross-sectional area as it shrouds the filter and transitions into the tubing. This geometry generates a Venturi effect, accelerating airflow while maintaining laminar conditions. Functionally, it acts as an enlarged velocity stack. The diagram below illustrates the difference between this patented architecture and a conventional intake. Eventuri’s bespoke filters further support the airflow through the housing, promoting a uniform velocity profile at exit. Additional technical details are available on the Technology and Filters pages.

CARBON INTAKE SCOOP

• Eventuri notes that the OEM intake draws air from behind the front grille above the radiator, where relatively small openings can promote heat soak—especially on tuned MINI applications. Because the factory bonnet scoop does not feed the intake directly, and the bonnet already features two cut-outs beneath the scoop, Eventuri redeveloped the component. The Eventuri scoop is a direct-replacement piece that secures via the factory fastening method and incorporates two inlet ramps to channel external air through the existing cut-outs and into the intake duct. As vehicle speed increases, more air is forced into the duct, minimizing inlet temperatures and mitigating heat soak. The profile is refined with an extended upper surface that covers the openings for a more aggressive appearance. Constructed from 100% prepreg carbon fiber, the scoop delivers a striking aesthetic; a V-shaped split weave creates a symmetrical visual that aligns naturally with its central bonnet placement.

INLET DUCT

• Eventuri observes that the factory duct draws solely from behind the front grille and remains shallow over the slam panel. The redesigned Eventuri duct accepts airflow both from the grille and from the bonnet scoop, and its substantially larger internal volume allows the intake to breathe with reduced restriction. To shield against engine-bay heat, a flexible rubber edging surrounds the openings to the bonnet’s underside, sealing when closed. An expandable rubber edging at the filter-housing interface further ensures a secure seal while accommodating engine movement.

About Eventuri

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 our 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. Their 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. They 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, they are proud to be raising the bar and creating intake systems which are setting a new standard and genuinely improve the performance of your vehicle.
