Eventuri intake installed

[rzem6bay]

I would like to share my installation and impressions of the Eventuri intake.

Installation
The installation was involved and took me 3 hours. I'm a total beginner. Unfortunately the instructions that come from Eventuri don't exactly apply to 2025 cars (the loom's location is on the back of the airbox which makes it a bit annoying). I also got tripped up by the "cold air feed" that came out with the stock airbox. I had to place it back and check many times to ensure I've properly secured it in. At this point I was questioning my decision , but overall managed to get through with it.

Results
Wow, I'm blown away! All the pain of installation was worth it. I can tell 100% that the car now feels it can accelerate faster and has more urgency overall, even without waiting for the ECU to adapt! Acceleration in lower rpms has clearly improved.

Regarding sound, I couldn't tell the difference between OEM and Eventuri in YouTube videos but listening to it live, the sound is so pleasing. It's louder than stock and different in nature with high-pitched exotic woosh.

I feel this mod alone has turned my Emira into a much more enjoyable car. I totally recommend this!

Next steps
My next move is to delete the 3rd cat and also reduce weight of the car to make it even more nimble. I'm going to install 2 Tillett B10 seats, lightweight battery, and later ultra lightweight wheels. These should shave about 90lbs sprung and 22lbs un-sprung mass from the car and together with the Eventuri I'm hoping the car would feel like it'd have 30 hp more.

Is the Eventuri intake just for V6 cars, or can the I4 use it too?
Whats the position with Lotus and warranty cover if you install one?

I can't find the post now but I'm sure I've seen it stated on this forum that Lotus have said any change to the induction system will invalidate your warranty so would cover non-standard air filters/boxes. I doubt that would stand up if taken to small claims court.

In the US they’d have to prove whatever the problem is, is because of the part you’ve modified. Plus this is just a a pathway for air that’s now more optimized, if anything it should help the engine work less. The toyota engine is a known reliable engine also.
On the intake itself I saw the words “Emira V6”. You should check with Eventuri if this works for I4.

I asked eventuri awhile back and they said no i4 version.

I feel like if they just took their Mercedes a class version and paired it with the duct from the v6 version, it would work fine. Someone in England ask them to see if they can test it out

Good stuff! For the seats, @kitkat has them installed and said the car is much louder with them installed compared to the factory seats, if that might be a concern. It isn't for a track build, but might be for a street build.

I don’t think I have another choice regarding the seats. The factory seats just don’t set well with my body. I get a combination of back and neck pain. I have spent days tweaking it, taking out the lumbar cushion, etc it’s just a bad seat for me. I’d have to swap and deal with consequences
