BMW Performance Intake Kits

Following in the footsteps of the immensely popular and heralded intake for the BMW N55 engine, the next generation of 6 cylinder intake takes the same path to success. Improve upon the factory design by increasing flow via a larger air box and filter element thereby improving throttle response and lessening the strain on the turbocharger for maximum efficiency. While box and filter enlargement and redesign is a major factor in ultimately producing a more  potent intake they are not the only variables in creating a more efficient design either. The devil is in the details which is where Dinan thrives. Coupled with maintaining Dinan's standard practice of utilizing a sealed system to ensure as much cold, outside air as possible is employed Dinan engineers focused their attention on the intake pipe itself where numerous improvements could be made. In factory configuration the intake tube comes complete with baffling and a small helmholtz chamber to reduce unwanted sound. As a byproduct these features also cause a more turbulent air flow path which robs the factory system of potential power. These 2 specific details are diametrically opposed to our intended markets desires so the removal of these features was paramount. Through numerous iterations a carbon fiber intake tube was developed that eliminated flow disruptions and allowed the natural sound of an unimpeded intake tract to sing. All told this thorough methodology of design allows the Dinan carbon fiber cold air intake for the B58 engine to elicit gains of 15 HP and 13 TRQ @ 6000 RPM on a completely stock vehicle. An impressive feat on today's turbocharged engines.   

Not to be outdone by the performance side of the equation the B58 intake also is completely made up of carbon fiber unlike 6 cylinder intakes of the past where a mix of materials was used. Not only is the intake completely carbon construction but the quality of the material has been improved over previous generations as well. While looks are surely important, and this piece has that department covered in spades, the improved construction and coating also guarantees that the appearance of the engine bay with the Dinan intake will not be marred over time. Built to present well, perform well, and last the duration, the Dinan B58 carbon fiber cold air intake is a modification that is a must for any high high performance build.

Perfectly designed to maximize the potential of each individual vehicle and meticulously refined through rigorous testing. Eventuri offers a product that stands in a class of its own and delivers outstanding power increases without making false claims or exaggerating dyno numbers. With patented designs such as a custom velocity stack filter housing and improved ducting that guides the flow of air into the engine, to the breathtaking uniformity of the weave pattern. These are performance products for the truly discerning customer.

When it comes to styling a vehicle the proper look is one that compliments, not cheapens the inherent design. Race inspired carbon fiber completes the look and style of every BMW M-powered model and Eventuri delivers on an entirely new level. Instead of simply offering black carbon and yellow kevlar that has become the norm, Eventuri has stepped things up by offering their carbon/kevlar accessories in multiple colors. Now you can choose between Blue, Red, Orange and Yellow weave to further set your ride apart from the pack.

Performance Increase : 12-15hp, 14-18ft-lb

The B58 Eventuri intake system is another example of a “Complete System” principal. It demonstrates the perfect balance between allowing for unrestricted airflow with our open filter housing whilst maintaining low IAT by cold air saturation with our scoop and shield combination. Every detail has been meticulously developed from the prepreg carbon pieces to the double layer heat shields. This intake sets a new benchmark in design and craftsmanship for the B58 platform.

The B58 Eventuri system uses a Patent Pending 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.

The filter housing comprises of a high flow filter, aluminium cowl, laser cut bracket, carbon heat shroud and the carbon pod itself, which extends to incorporate the MAF sensor and turbo tube. The carbon pod shrouds the reverse mounted filter and smoothly shapes the airflow down to the integrated MAF intake tube. This smooth reduction in cross sectional area invokes the Venturi effect where the airflow accelerates whilst maintaining laminar conditions. It can be thought of as a large velocity stack. The carbon filter housing and the inlet tube have been integrated to be one continuous piece. This reduces the number of internal interfaces and allows for smoother airflow to the turbo. The diameter of the tube smoothly transitions from the required diameter at the MAF sensor end to the larger diameter of the turbo inlet.

A lot of attention was placed on the heat shielding since the intake is located next to the exhaust manifold. For this Eventuri used a double layer main shield with a silver finish on the exhaust side and black on the intake side. The silver layer reflects radiant heat from the exhaust and the black layer absorbs and radiant heat on the inlet side. The air gap between the two layers acts as an insulator to stop the conductive heat spreading to the inner layer. 

Each intake system includes:

• Prepreg Carbon Filter Housing and integrated MAF tube
• High Flow Double Cone Air Filter
• Aluminium Cowl for smooth airflow entry
• Prepreg Carbon Scoop
• Prepreg Carbon filter shroud
• CNC Machined MAF Boss
• Double layer main heat shield
• Double layer secondary shield
• Laser Cut Mounting Brackets

This kit fits the following BMWs:

The kit comes complete will all necessary hardware. Note: Does not fit vehicle with N26 engine. N26 engine is SULEV (super low emission) version of N20

3-1/2"Conical Pro 5R Air Filter: This intake utilizes a huge, 3-1/2" tall conical PRO 5R performance air filter for increased performance. The PRO 5R air filter uses five layers of progressively finer mesh cotton gauze media to provide maximum airflow for best performance results. Washable and reusable for multiple cleaning cycles, the tall, open, evenly spaced pleats provide excellent dust holding capacity for a longer service cycle between cleanings.

One-Piece Filter Housing: The air filter is housed in a one-piece, patent-pending black roto-molded airbox that keeps warm engine air out for maximum performance. This one-piece airbox uses factory mounting locations for a hassle-free installation.

Dyno Tested Intake Tube: The intake tube is designed to maximize air velocity and is dyno tested and flowed using the latest engineering tools for maximum performance, mileage and throttle response.

Horizontal Louvers: The louvers were added to the roto-molded airbox to increase the cold air to the air filter.
