F55/F56 Eventuri Intake Functional Hood Scoop Review
#51
The filter in the eventuri is dry. I'm not ordering another for probably another month. I'll ask eventuri what I can use to clean the dirty one. They have always responded within a couple hours to my emails.

Installed Eventuri two weeks ago. Love the sound and the performance. I have no idea what HP my car has but since putting on the Eventuri it seems to real get up and go. The excitement gauges both HP and Torque seem to kick up a lot higher than they use to before the Eventuri. Everything else besides the NM Eng Tie-Bar was put on a year ago. So from a seat of the pants review the Eventuri seems to me to have made a big difference.

Drove though some pouring rain the other day with no issues again.

And an extra big Thank You to G26okie . When you said you had the Dinan Elite and had not thrown a code that is when I decided to commit to the Eventuri Intake. No codes for me and driven in the rain with no issues. Also a thank you to ESC Tuning for your excellent service on getting me the unit at a great price.

Welcome. Glad to help.

Does anyone see any issues with running the Eventuri with a different scoop like this one? I like the looks of the RSIc6 scoop more but am somewhat cautious about the larger scoop catching more debris.
#58
Hmmm... you're right. That's the same thing Eventuri said in their message this morning. I wonder if you could cut holes in the bottom of the RSI scoop that line up with the holes in the hood. If that wouldn't work I guess I'm just misunderstanding the design on the Eventuri scoop and would need to see it in person as I can't find any pictures of the scoop in any angle other than the top or front.

Looks to have formed areas that protrude down to the rest of the intake, so just chopping holes in a different one likely would work, but isnt Ideal.

So it got water tested this morning on the drive to work. I spent about 10-15 minutes and a few miles in heavy rain at 30-50mph. I checked the intake out after getting to work. There was some large drops of water in the ducting directly under the scoop, some light mist on the sides of the walls leading to the filter, however the bottom of the ducting where the drainhole is before the filter was completely dry without any "standing" water in it. There were no effects to the car while driving, even going into boost, no hiccups.
Supposed to hit some rain after work as well so will update.

I think it's just a little fine mist residue. I driven my R55-R61 ECS CF Intake in 2 hurricanes over the years and its fine. Got a fine mist in the back of the box past the drip hole when in the hurricanes. 99% of the time it never even made it past the drip holes.

I installed mine last night and in good WA fashion it's raining today. So I drove around for an hour on back roads and I-5 where the water gets kicked up by cars and turned into a fine mist. So the scoop gets to suck in a good amount of water on the freeway. I found water in the main channels and expected that. But I also found some small droplets just before the filter. Would you say that's normal? This was on my way to work today so I don't have time or tools to check behind the filter or the tube with the MAF. But it'll probably be raining on my way home tonight and I can check then to see if any water is making its way back to those parts. I doubt there'll be any water in those parts but I'm always a little cautious when a new part get put in.

Arma does not have the scoop but its full CF: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-arma-par...e/pxv1-48~arm/
Other than that you are looking at Gruppe M, no scoop, but they have some other options https://www.ecstuning.com/b-gruppe-m...per-s-b48a20a/

Also Duell AG and some others here: https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2014-...Engine/Intake/
Also, they are either open or they have a metal box. I dont know if you can get around the non oem look.

ECSTuning, are you going to carry the F60-compatible version of the Eventuri intake that won't have the scoop? Apparently they're going to have a blanking plate of some sort to cover the top holes where the scoop would go.
#75
When they tell us its ready, we will let you know.
