Eventuri Hybrid Airbox

[elrichmeister]

So from a technical point what makes this louder than the OEM Style Karbonius box + Eventuri? I'm waiting for local distrubutor pricing now but I can get the OEM style for about half the price instead ( I already have an Eventuri)

Comparing them side to side, Hybrid intake seems to have more space as it doesnt use the factory intake elbow. Im assuming this will increase noise, as it has wider path to the intake trumpets maybe?

Is it louder? I think a lot of the "sound" debate is highly subjective with these air boxes.

Interesting, where did you see that posted?
And to be honest I’d be surprised if it actually made that on a stock tune.

hybrid + eventuri



and just the eventuri

I just emailed FCP Euro to learn if/when they will have it in stock and at what price. I'll report back what I learn.

As of 10/28/1025 FCP Euro does not intend to sell the Eventuri Hybrid Airbox. That could change but for the "shut up and take my money" gang like me it is IND for now.

Eventuri's Hybrid Air box only makes 20 - 22hp and 8-13ftlb....

The MAF can only allow a certain diameter of intake to accurately read air flow. The CSL used a MAP sensor for that reason.

Right - and I guess development of a larger MAF sensor would require a retune anyways and defeats the purpose of this. I'll stick to the Karb airbox!

I'd give this a shot if it didn't look so weird... there was no way to emulate the carbon airbox with the larger bell mouth and incorporate a larger filter on the front?

I hope you see how absolutely pointless and redundant your posts are. Maybe if you re-read the thread a few times you'll get it. Maybe not.

👍👍

Not sure if this answers your question:

Assuming the Kassel software/firmware works, I get...

Kassel tune: $235
Filter from whomever: $100
IAT relocation: $100
shut off valve: 180
Total additional costs: $600ish

So, $2700 all-in for the CSL-rep intake, or $3600 to keep the MAF. I thought the draw with the hybrid was that it wouldn't require the additional expense. Maybe it's just the inconvenience? Or is the driveability really that shakey even with the tune?

I guess I'll wait for the copycats and hope I don't suck a trumpet into the engine.

FYI if anyone is in SoCal, Autotalent in Gardena will have one for sale at MSRP on Friday.

I have read the thread.

The hybrid is marketed as providing the benefits (mostly sound) of the CSL box without the tuning headaches associated with ditching the MAF. But most people with the CSL box have resolved any driveability issues with proper tuning, which IMO should not cost more than a thousand dollars on a N/A engine, even with dyno tuning.

Unless you are paying someone two grand to get 20 horsepower out of a CSL intake without your car stalling, I don't see the value here.

Is that sufficient effort? Or would you like a peer-reviewed scientific publication on why it costs too much money?

Ok.

I suggest reading the contents of this thread where it was discussed instead of making a zero effort drive-by post.
