Fitment for USA ONLY RS3 8Y, Left hand drive. Finished in raw carbon – no clearcoat.
Presenting our all carbon RS3 turbo inlet elbow now for the 8Y version. The elbow is the same as our original one developed for the 8V but with added fitment hardware for the new breather system found on the North American 8Y engines. The rest of the World uses the same inlet as our current 8V package. We invested months of intense R&D in developing an inlet which leaves no room for compromise. VOLUME – FLOW QUALITY – TEMPERATURE were the parameters we sought to optimize for this inlet.
1) VOLUME : Inlet Diameters – Eventuri 103mm : Stock 72mm. Outlet Diameters – Eventuri 74mm : Stock 56.4mm. Clearly with significantly larger internal diameter sizes, the Eventuri elbow encapsulates a much larger internal volume which de-restricts the flow path to the turbo.
2) FLOW QUALITY : Having just a large internal volume is no good unless the flow path also allows for smooth airflow to the turbo. By using high temperature Prepreg Carbon Fiber we have managed to achieve a smooth internal surface. In contrast, the stock and other aftermarket elbows are all made from cast aluminum which end up with a rough internal surface. This coupled with the smooth curvature of the elbow results in a flow path which minimizes turbulence.
3) TEMPERATURE : The final criteria was to minimize the conduction of heat into the airflow. The stock inlet is directly connected to the turbo and so immediately conducts heat as the turbo spools. Our system uses a machined flange which connects to the turbo and then a silicon coupler with an integrated thermal spacer to keep the carbon elbow from having direct contact with the turbo. This barrier coupled with the low through-thickness thermal conductivity of carbon fiber results in less heat being transferred to the airflow.
The Eventuri RS3 8Y Turbo Inlet is manufactured from high temperature prepreg carbon fiber and come with a number of other components engineered to perform a specific purpose and fabricated to the highest of standards.
Each inlet system consists of:
- High Temperature Carbon Inlet Elbow - LHD Specific
- CNC Machined Turbo Flanges - optional choices
- Silicon Couplers With Oil Resistant Lining
- Silicon Breather System and Blanking Plug (USA only)
- Marine Grade Stainless Steel Hose Clamps
We provide a choice of turbo flanges which are all CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminum and anodized. We will also be adding more flanges for new hybrid turbos coming to the market.
Currently Available Flanges:
- Stock Turbo
- TTE 700 / 625
- SRM GTX3582
