Tegiwa intake comparison/test

[Icehawk]

Happy with my Pipercross since I just wanted some good sounds, it was cheap, and it was available a year ago when nothing else was.

Impressed by the results with the Eventuri intake, but would be just as satisfied with the results and induction noises from the PRL kit at their price point.

The Eventuri looks so damn good, but it's very difficult for me to justify the 4x price over the PRL.

We all find a way to “justify” our mods.

Thanks for posting this. While these tests or shootouts are never perfectly scientific they're still enjoyable to watch and are good enough. It seems the PRL is the best performing intake relative to price. Armaspeed, Infinity Design, Eventuri, and GruppeM appear to have seperated themselves from the others not only in performance but fit, finish, and overall quality. Of course all that goodness comes at a high cost.

I'm keen to know if the gains over the stock air box are nullified once the vehicle is tuned. In other words, if you were to tune the same car with the stock air box and then tuned the car with the GruppeM intake for example, would the results more or less be the same? Will an aftermarket intake allow you to tune for more power over the stock air box? If the answer is 'no', once tuned is an aftermarket intake largely a sound and lower IAT play? @Vito.FL5 @Jester04 Thoughts?

The larger intake will help especially with an upgraded inlet. Anything that you can do to reduce pre turbo inlet pressures it will make it easier for the turbo to move air. While it might not be a substantial change in power for lower numbers it still helps. On a bigger turbo setup is where you will appreciate a bigger difference.

I have an eventuri that is new and sealed that I changed my mind on. I’d like to get a gruppem if anyone is in LA area wants an eventuri I have one below retail that is new and sealed

MSRP looks to be around $1499

In our testing we found that PRL's extra duct made a 20whp difference on a car tuned at 400WHP and above. Any intake without an extra air inlet source is seemingly choked when that much airflow is demanded. I'm still surprised that Eventuri decided to leave out the extra duct for the FL5 platform.

Have you had a chance to test the Eventuri? I have tested the PRL with good results but still have not come across a Eventuri to get data.

We have not but since it is fed by the same opening on the front of the car we have so far assumed it would have the same fate as the PRL HVI without the extra inlet that we tested during the prototyping phase.

Ah got you, well hopefully eventually I can get some data to share with everybody. Right now my build is on hold for the time being.

I thought you performed some testing and/or data collection from @PointByPatrol . I recall he had the Eventuri intake on his CW FL5.

I'm not afraid to spend coin on something I want. However almost 2k for some turbo noise is a little bit crazy.

Very little since it was shortly after that he wrecked. Also he only had the box and not the full intake kit, plus he was also on a stock turbo which limits the data. I honestly don’t think there is too much to be had on a stock turbo. Maybe around 5-10hp, on a bigger turbo car you will see jumps of 20-30whp when the intake becomes a restriction.
