Fitting the first ever F54 306PS Eventuri Intake to my JCW Clubman !
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I was invited up to Evolve Automotive to help with the final stages of development of their latest carbon fibre Eventuri air intake system for the F54 306PS Mini JCW Clubman. They have recently developed a system for the Mini GP3 but need to check the fitting on the Clubman.
I this video Bilal, the designer of the Eventuri system, talks us through the details of the design. Explaining how the system works, the benefits to be gain for fitting the system and finally how the system is actually fitted to the car.

The smile on your face when you give it a little bit of a boot . It looks so well
😂😂😂
this man new exactly everything about his product, not a regular salesman, love to see that!
He does indeed 👍
Went to Evolve yesterday, picked up their last F56 intake and fitted it today! Great to meet them and super service 👏.... looks amazing already give it 101% plus the carbon scoop nails it!
So cool. Love mine 👍
The quality looks incredible, I'd buy it for the looks alone! Those guys know their stuff that's for sure.
They sure do 👍
What next !! Peter - Bermuda- can.’t wait . Very enjoyable .
Aesthetically looks incredible, engineered flawlessly, Gains not worth the cost of the product , lower the cost makes it more competitive with what’s already out in the market.
They make other variants using non-carbon fiber, such as this one for the F56 (and equivalents) which retains the carbon scoop, is plastic in the engine bay, and saves you 45%! (www.ecstuning.com/b-eventuri-parts/f56-f55-f57-f54-mini-cooper-s-jcw-black-carbon-intake-pre-lci-plastic-intake-carbon-scoop/eve-f56-pl-int~v/). Personally, although I love this design, I don't even want a CF scoop, I'd one one in primer to paint it. CF is not for me. YMMV
That Eventuri kit is so beautiful and am glad that they reached out to you Ped as you got a good platform and a racing /rally backgroun. Keen to hear a proper review of the product in due time.
Will keep you posted 👍
The air intake looks absolutely amazing. Carbon fibre as well! More upgrade videos please.
Roger that 👍
That carbon detail is great and who doesn't like things being more efficient and reducing the stress on the engine!
Exactly 👍
I’ve just bought myself a jcw clubman so now I’m going to have to rewatch all your f54 videos 😂
Great 👍
What clever people and a great example of a British company showcasing what talent we have in this country.
Oh yes 👍
Ah right, I can see why you've done it now. That looks really nice 😎
Thanks John 👍
They are a thing of beauty! I have an eventuri intake on my TTS and it’s amazing to look at and sounds incredible!
Awesome 👍
What a beautifully designed air intake system 👌👌
So nicely made too 👌
Definitely and looks so good. Great to be involved on their R and D, it was great to see how quickly they modified the design 👌
I have an Eventuri on my FK2 and the noise is insane! I love it!
👍
Love the guys and gals and Venturi and Evolve. Good colab.
Good Guys for sure 👍
You finally ditched the 'fake vent'. What a work of art that is! Wonderful. Would by one and I don't even have a BMW Mini. Maybe fit 'm on my old minis. Looks top pro. Love these guys already. Cheers.
Cheers Mate 👍
My wife and I have just ordered a clubman s sport and will install the intake and turbo pipes as soon as we get it
Awesome 😎
added to the wish list.
A beautiful piece of engineering Pete, cheers Matt from Australia 🇦🇺
Indeed 👍
Hi Pete
Nice bit of kit mate you are slowly getting there with that car 🚙
It will be Worth it’s weight in gold when you come to sell it one day 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍
Evening Peter I am so happy with my Caliper key Fob not so keen on the grenade design keep it JCW. I used your link below and found an outlet in Glasgow who stock Eventuri intakes. I had previosly watched a couple of films on youtube about them and liked what I saw. I presently have a carbon scoop on my JCW but I really like the fact their one wouldnt be fake. Thanks again for tempting me with things for my mini though this is a bit costlier and found out Wednesday I am being made redundant so timeing not great but I need a treat for my very early retirement was thinking of Union Jack lights and spots so roughly the same cost. You will need to get a Carbon engine cover to make it look good. Thanks again.
Sorry to hear that John. Good luck for the future. Think of it as a positive and hopefully you will find something exciting and challenging to do 👍
Well it certainly looks nicely made and you can feel and hear that it works. I’m not too convinced about the effects of rain and water because if the air flow is slow enough to allow water to drip down to a drain/vent then when you are driving normally, surely the water would remain held in the higher speed air flow...it would not have time to “drip” so get taken into the filter. Maybe we need to see the water path in more detail? Good work as always...stay safe!!! 😀😀😀😀
No failures yet 🤷♂️
@@PetrolPed That’s good....I don’t think rain will be any problem but a deep puddle or flood might be different?? Good luck and I’m glad it works well!! 😀😀😀
@@HQBProductions If you drive a JCW Clubman and read the manual it specifically says to not drive through water more than 6 inches deep. And that's with stock air intake. Although I will say that if opposing traffic runs through a puddle and sends a wall of water your way I would wonder how this would handle it. Rain I can totally see draining with no issues but.... a large amount all at once like that..... *cringe*. I got my 2020 JCW Clubman Dec of 2019 though and it still puts a big grin on my face every time I drive it. If I can afford it I really think this air intake will find its way into mine as well.
@@stevenfranklin1856 I think you are right with that...a wall of water might be bad news! Enjoy the car and the modifications...just watch the weather! Safe driving! 😀😀😀😀
As ever Imran and companies producing awesome products that work.
Yep 👍
I really like how the carbon fiber looks that is awesome
Absolutely love your content, been subscribed for a while now and look forward to every new video! I to create videos about MINIs and I aspire to be like you to provide content with the quality that you provide! Keep up the amazing work! - Ben
Cheers Ben. Good luck with your channel 👍
Sorry to be pedantic but Monday is the 12th... A great vid, very interesting. Nothing like a bit of R&D on the fly. We call it solutioneering! :)
Nice 👍
Very interesting upload & a functional working intake which is a rare thing these days
Glad you liked it 👍
Defo Christmas present for me! 😘 I already asked about the water getting sucked in! It has a hole. Great video and looks amazing.
Cheers Keith 👍
Art at its finest, great work from the boys. Enjoy!
Indeed 👍
It's a beautiful piece of kit.enjoy
Cheers 👍
Another success story Pete, like the lad said it is more functional now and a definite improvement, and like one of your pet hates which you said in an earlier video, you hate fake things like fake exhausts with no function just image. This system has image but works, so job done and on to the next bits of carbon fibre I think!!!
Cheers John 👍
Morning! Excited for this one!!
Hi Pete, that CF looks great on the engine. Glad you feel some extra oooommfff!!
Another great one Pete, thanks mate👍🏼😁😎🥂
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great video, looks super impressive and has a purpose. Just need the engine cover to match and may have a Petrol Ped sign in it.👍
Ooo...good plan 👌
Pete that looks gorgeous even if it didn't add any extra performance it was worth it.
I did so even better 👍
Evening Pete, 🤯 I'm confused, my birthday is Monday 12th October, not Monday 13th lol. According to my birth certificate I'm going to be 56 , but I'm sure I'm still 16 mentally 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love the carbon induction set up on Charley, hate to think what it would cost 😬. I'm just using my original R53 intake mated to Airtec Intercooler but with all original plastic baffling removed, so direct feed 😁 to Intercooler. The ITG filter I fitted is rather sweet too 👍. You need to get rid of your plastic engine cover and get a carbon one now 😉. Take care mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏁
I’m looking for one already 😂
Evolve Automotive carbon intakes look awesome, great install on Charlie, nice one mr Ped.👍😄🤟
They do indeed 👍
Hi everyone 👍 we would presume the Clubman would be a slightly wider bonnet than the GP3, but strange the scoop is in a slightly different place. Looks a great mod and we love a bit of induction noise
It surprised me 😂
Would be great to see a before and after dyno run .
Yes a +1 for that...I want to get this intake but really want to see the benefit in terms of numbers as it is a pricey piece of kit.
Been tested, had a max hp increase of 15 hp, and in the middle rpm's periodically 27 hp increase.
@@chucknorris1920 I mean, watch a video. So, let's also just get rid of the idea of forces air induction. 😂
Freebie perks of the RUclips car reviewer lifestyle. 😎
That's a beautiful air intake, was probably hard putting the bonnet down! Work of art 👌🏾 must have cost an arm and a leg though 🙄
I have turned into a carbon bore now though 😂
Love the explanation, what a man
safe drive back Pete
Cheers 👍
Look's absolutely beautiful. You need a clear bonnet now!
I know 😂
Carbon intake looks really good👍❤. Carbon engine cover next ? .
Yep 👍
@@PetrolPed 👍🙂
Cold air is already there, KN filter ,remove the air con pump with a shorter belt ,full flow exhaust = way more power and change in ya pocket, no good putting loads of air in if it can't get out as exhaust, it's the same as standard just better looking ?
...............and thank you for 'making me' spend money on key thing and lighted scutle panel for my F56. Dammit man
Awesome 👏
Non of the dealers in the US show the system for the F54 JCW Clubman on their websites
Really beautifully crafted and well thought out design ! Do you have one for the R56 ?
Great video Ped, as always. I don't like the MINI, or even fancy carbon fibre stuff, but I do really enjoy your content, so thank you matey !
Edit to add, I do like that M5, now THAT's my kinda car sir :-)
Looks awesome ped
Thanks 🙏🏻
Looks awesome. Wish I could have ceramic coated all that carbon before they fitted it! Nice to see Charlie cleaning and beading in the video though 😉
She is in dire need of a wash 🧽
@@PetrolPed defo #nosponge 🙃
We need this in America
They ship internationally. Check out the link in the video description to find your local dealer 👍

Wahey - great way to start a fortnight off - a petrodollars ped video with a cold Belgian brew!
I like your style 👍
Wow great looking air intake. I guess you'd need to check with your Insurance company and maybe warranty as well. Well done Pete keep them coming cheers DFDU 😎
Always a good idea 👍
I purchased the plastic version of this for my Clubman and they haven’t bothered with the adjustment to the size of the opening, so if you considering the same thing either go for the carbon version as per this video or purchase a different kit.
Watching in Cheddar again - enjoy the Caterhams
Will do 👍
Well it does look amazing that's for sure. I always have thought though that intake changes like this on their own, adda such little performance. It's only when you start messing around with other stuff that the engine then needs all that extra/smoother air. but it does looks bloody amazing.
Aggregation of Marginal Gains 😜😂
Very disappointed we didn’t get a ped discount of 50%. :/. No way can I justify this to the mrs :D. Awesome vid Pete. 🤘🏻
Sorry 😂
So the scoop that used to be connected on earlier minis as manufacturer standard is now reconnected on these ones.Was there a problem of water going into intake on those prevoius models as I dont recall hearing or seeing anything.🤔🤔.BTW does look cool.and cotton oiled filters do let slighter more contaminants through versus paper.So if you live in dusty part of the world may be wise to stick to paper.I have ran cotton oiled in BMW-N47 with no problems for over 100k.I always found the engine response to be better for sure which is the main reason i used them after having remap.Great video as always.
Cheers Andy 👍
Hey Petrol Ped, do the scoops come in piano black? Feeling a little OCD here, but all the JCW exterior trims are in piano black and this CF scoop sticks out like a sore thumb. Do you plan to de-CF the scoop to piano black?
Nope. Just Carbon 👍
Pete, why didn’t they do a before & after dyno to show any power gain? I’ve always tinkered with my engines to improve air flow, etc but £1,400 for just 8-12 BHP sounds extortionate!
At this time my GP3 is bog standard but I’m about to start experimenting with different air filters to find out if any of them actually fulfill the claims made by the manufacturers on the bhp improvement...!
Love the grenade, I bought one from same company with GP to go on my key fob!
We didn’t have time for a dyno but the guys did dyno their GP and got 12-15hp 👍
Absolutely beautiful intake & scoop. How much will it cost u in the long run though ? You'll now need more carbon in your life !
Oh I know 😳😂😂
Hi Ped
How things have on from “trumpets” on SU carbs, or KN filters on 45 DCO Weber’s. Should have had a dyno reading before and after.
The original solution is better, the water is blocked by gravity and held back at the very beginning,it's not like BMW designed it thoughtlessly, it's a car for everyday use, you often drive it in heavy rain, fast.
One day you'll pull that pin just for a bit of fun only to hear "BANG!"
😂😂😂
If you stop the active sucking of air in through the original duct… aren’t you massively decreasing the ability of the radiator to cool the engine? That seems like a big risk. Looks cool though!
Hope you got a decent discount seeing you're part of the development.....
😜👍
Looks fabulous!
👍
Goodness I love these clever and innovative guys. This was really good content. Question: can we get them on SAGE? They couldn't do worse than that committee and we might end up wearing really special carbon fibre face coverings😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Can someone please explain the hype with carbon fibre? Thanks
It’s extremely rigid and extremely lightweight. Not to mention, it looks pretty cool
Awesome stuff 👏 👌how much is the kit?
Hi petrol ped looks fab. Can you let us know whether the new tyres etc you had replaced made the car quieter and a better ride quality please. 👍
I have done a video on that 👍 They replaced runflats so ride quality has improved. They were very low profile so could have even better ride and Road nose with a slightly higher profile 👍
ruclips.net/video/HosfLQawsCU/видео.html
Hi there !! So, let us know, what the Eventuri worth the price sound and performance wise ? And by the way, how muchc did it cost in total ? Thanks a lot for the answers :-) GoF
Very cool mod Sir Pete! Always look forward to your videos! Hey Sir Pete would u be able to review the Kia Forte GT 2021 or the Kia stinger 2021 GT-line?
I’ve done the Stinger before. Not sure about the other one 🤔
Very interesting, this would give you about 15 hp more, how much is the gain from the exhaust you have on there now? The intake seems easier and maybe cheaper to do?? Do they deliver abroad ?
You can find a local distributer with the link in the video description 👍
Do they want to try fitting one to a Mitsubishi Outlander? Another great vid.
Looking at the design of that duct I would’ve thought you’d have the air coming in from the bottom fighting with the air coming in from the top , swirling around at the front of the intake and making the whole system less efficient?
It might look that way but it doesn’t 👍
Awesome looking carbon fiber, air intake,,wonder how much extra hp your getting,are you going on rolling road,
Hey stay safe,have a good weekend,
The guys got 12-15 on their GP 👍
Good to meet you today at Silverstone main gate!! Mini sounded epic
Oh hi mate. Great to meet you too. You working over the weekend ? If so I might see you again 👍
Petrol Ped Hello, yes I am working all weekend, but I’m covering a different event on the national circuit. All the best for this weekend if I don’t see you again!
Morning pal. I thought the forced air ducts didn’t work too well unless doing over a hundred? They were a show carry over from racing cars? I can see it’s a more direct feed though, which is always better. Nice lil mod.
I had a look at the CFD analysis and it works really well 👍
Weirdly, your video is recommended to me today. But have to say, nice video!
But I would do a bit of fact check as I happen to know your car isn’t the first car to fit Evolve’s Eventuri kit. And the fact Evolve didn’t even make the kit to fit Clubman, another company helped them developed it and fitted first production Eventuri kit to their test car, that’s as far as I can tell, as I’ve been following the Eventuri induction kit development for a long time to get my JCW fitted with one.
Sorry mate but you are wrong. My car was the first F54 306PS car fitted...FACT. The two guys in the video designed it and make it...they should know 🤷♂️
@@PetrolPed
I could be wrong. But I have my source to suggest otherwise. But anyway...
I did enjoy your video touring around Evolve workshop.
Keep safe
👍🏼
Map next Pete.......
🤔😂
Artwork and a weight reduction to boot!!
Yep 👍
Did installing the intake set off any codes or dash lights? A customer had a 2020 F54 JCW in the dealership last week and it apparently had this issue with the Eventuri intake...I don't think he had a tune and perhaps the F54 JCW needed one in this case?
No warnings or problems at all 👍
@@PetrolPed Thank you sir, that is great to hear. I am sure I will pull the trigger soon enough...that is a beautiful piece of kit.
Nice vid! Would be interesting to hear more of the intake sound as it seems inside the car the jcw exhaust kind of overrides the noise of the intake.. Does it change the sound of your JCW when the engine runs but car is parked? I got the jcw countryman 18' (225hp) and I think I am a bit dubious with the word "power" they are using honestly
As I have a Remus Race Exhaust that kinda dominates the sound. The induction noise is a little better but for me this mod is all about the throttle response. The car is so much more responsive 👍
Got it thanks! I’ve ordered one so now we ‘ll see soon! 🙂 love your jcw btw 👏🏻
I order 1 it take 4month to get it ps.thailand
I'd like one for the B48 engine in my 2016 230i but I think it's too small a market for them to develop one. Although they did one for the preceding 228i N20 engine. Anyhow I would not be able to afford one currently.
I'd prefer a black plastic one also, carbon bling would look massively out of place on my car and I'd like it to look as close as possible to OEM.
My friend's cooper S just got the same kit a couple months ago. Drove fast in a heavy rain. Engine light has been on for a while. Thought water went in. He hasn't brought the car in for a check and it is still driving. Anyone has had this issue?
Nobody thought about that little problem did they? I can imagine the water pissing into that scoop on the bonnet.
@@noseyparker6622 Been discussed at length on Mini forums. Doesn't appear to be an issue: www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/f55-f56-hatch-talk-2014/334044-eventuri-intake-functional-hood-scoop-review.html
Eventuri has also had issues with some F54 JCW's triggering CEL's due to the intake. Eventuri is exploring the issue as it might be the way the MAF sensor housing is machined.
I notice no one talked pound notes!! 🤣
PP pimping us viewers their way, thats the pay off.
Fabulous engineering but I’m assuming very expensive as no price on their website. Shame they don’t offer a simpler plastic version for in the engine bay as I’m sure the carbon fibre is purely aesthetic but hugely expensive. For me the carbon fibre or even a gloss black plastic bonnet vent and a plastic intake system under the bonnet.
Evening all. Ped I would be really interested to know what the performance gains are for this, I saw a youtube video when Evolve first developed this last year, but the gains on their Cooper S mule was only about 8 horsepower and the cost of about 1400 quid, a year ago, seemed out of proportion to the gains. Yes it looks great, and I love the idea of actually putting the bonnet scoop to use, but maaan that is too expensive! I wonder if Evolve would just make a plastic version for those of us who don't pop the bonnet at every opportunity?
Russell G there is a plastic version available but it’s still £800ish
They got 12-15hp gain on their GP3 👍
ok, I've also seen & had quite alot of communications from Evolve along with another commentator...
The simplest way of thinking is you'd be best off buying a stock performance panel filter & have a engine tune &/or a induction kit with a tune...
With the car model being turbo it'll gain performance due to a limited "learning function on most ECU's to this date!" however further performance gains will be found via a tune.. without going overboard.. if you had supporting modifications you'd see much further performance values...
for those worried about heat soak, well Carbon fibre isn't a good insulator & it will heat up just as any cheap plastic item would, unfortunately it'll also be very hot to touch especially after a long/spirited run-out..
regarding water-ingress to the filter/engine this point was made to Evolve & ignored to a dissatisfied audience, now we see a drain hole (uncovered) if you think of science etc you'll be aware of water being driven via airflow/vacuum & yes this would also occur here.. only during idle would water not get pulled into the filter via the bonnet scoop (this can be demonstrated via a simple experiment.. ride a bike (at speed) & pour water from a bottle in-front of yourself.. you become wet) now think of driving in a rain shower &/or behind another vehicle producing water spray (the filter element will become soaked) adding to that flies/stones & yes they can reach such a filter element (think back to K&N with their typhoon filter & yes I tinkered with such a filter & a direct flow/snorkel on my RX-8, such issues as water, stones, flies etc were a problem until suitable shielding had been added...
if you've a mini you can find modifications to aid the bonnet vent to flow, you can buy filter elements & dyno-tuning is available all-over the country giving better performance gains & you can also add-in fuel economy at a cheaper cost.
Mal P nice explanation of concerns, thanks
@@jogonbeaky No problem.. as a side note the listed performance gains are tiny in comparison to 80-90's turbo charged vehicles, this is simply due to emissions tuning & the limits ECU's have been given in modern vehicles, hence why the self learning capabilities have been limited compared to earlier manufactured vehicles..
Also noting this filter element is cotton (identically to the K&N typhoon element & design) of which have poor filtration compared to other element material types.
buying a replacement performance panel filter & having a engine tune works out cheaper & would produce more power/economy..
in regards of the BMW.. their alot more to that story then a basic air-filter replacement etc
Whats the part number of this kit? The one they sent me, doesnt fit this nice. Think i got the wrong one, but it says for mine? 🤷♂️
Have you contacted Eventuri ?
@@PetrolPed Yes, waiting to hear back from them?
Hi, I like your chanel, I’m a MINImaniac Fan. I want to ask you if you install an Intake you loose your warranty? Its a new MINI. Thank u for your videos =)
You are only improving airflow and not changing the engine in anyway. Always best to check with the main dealer and inform your insurance company 👍
Look cool and smart
Cheers Paul 👍
Very nice
Sweet
