E46 Eurosport Cold-Air Intake Kits
Description:
Pick up 10-20 extra horsepower by replacing your restrictive stock airbox with a Eurosport Cold Air Intake! The finest Cold Air Intake Kit that we have seen, hands-down! This kit eclipses all others with its superior engineering, materials, fitment, and of course, performance. Starting at $389.95 it’s a little more expensive than some other kits but worth every penny. This intake is not just a simple heat shield with a cone filter – every aspect of the design has been analyzed to improve on the concept of a Cold Air Intake. As the purpose of a Cold Air Intake is to draw in cooler, denser air by blocking hot air from the engine, this kit’s engineering starts with the materials.
Heat Shield – While other intake kits use sheetmetal or aluminum to shield the filter from hot air, the Eurosport kit is designed with a composite material that is very resistant to heat. The shield is made from e-glassfiber, and has a heat transfer coefficient 100 times lower than aluminum! Why use metal to block heat? The composite shield is also very light and stiff. The entire intake kit weighs less than 6lbs, including the filter – compared to close to 20lbs for some other intake kits!
Intake Tube – For the same reasons as on the heat shield, the intake tube between the filter and the air flow sensor is made from carbon fiber. The carbon fiber is strong, light weight, and is compression molded for an exact fit and excellent air flow. It also looks cool (pun intended).
Air Filter – No compromises were made designing this intake. While a well-known American brand would have been more recognizeable to consumers, the ITG foam air filter proved superior during dyno testing. It’s also washable and serviceable meaning a long life and exceptional dust retention. ITG may not be as famous in America as other brands, but it’s one of the most popular filters in Europe and Asia. ITG Filters can be found in Championship-winning Touring Cars, Japanese SuperGT winners, ALMS, Grand-Am, and even Formula 1. ITG Air Filters come pre-oiled for immediate installation.
Eurosport Intakes come with all necessary hardware, detailed instructions, and extra dust-retention oil. When installed, the shield provides a tight seal in the engine bay for the filter to draw cool air. The black finish with carbon fiber, and excellent craftsmanship, provides a “factory appearance”, showing off in a subtle way. We offer Eurosport Intakes for the BMW E36 3-series, E46 3-series, E39 5-series, and the Z3.
