Product detailed description
The Eventuri GR Yaris intake system consists of a number of components engineered to perform a specific purpose and fabricated to the highest of standards. We use 100% pre-preg carbon fiber with no fibreglass which means we can achieve a smooth internal surface to maintain smoother airflow. Here are the details for each component and the design ethos behind them:
Each intake system consists of:
- Carbon Fiber Patented Venturi Filter
- Housing with integrated MAF section
- Bespoke High Flow Dry Cone Filter
- Carbon Fiber Inlet Duct
- Rear Tube Manufactured To OEM Specifications
- Custom Made Hardware
- Laser Cut Stainless Steel Brackets
- Custom EPDM Hose
- CNC Machined MAF Boss and Bracket Mounts
Dyno Testing
Our GR Yaris intake has been tested by various reputable tuners globally who have all reported similar results. The first dyno chart is from RaceCal in the UK. Several runs were done with the OEM airbox to get a repeatable result and then again with the Eventuri intake. Tests were done on the same day back to back with the hood closed. Results show an increase in torque and power across the entire RPM range – not just at the peak RPM, which is why the car feels more responsive and is able to accelerate faster through the gears. The ambient temperatures during this session were 11.9 Deg C for the OEM airbox and 15.6 Deg C for the Eventuri – the rise in temperature was due to the dyno cell warming up after the stock airbox runs.
FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY
The filter housing comprises of our bespoke generation 2 filter, aluminium inlet cowl, stainless steel bracket and the integrated MAF section. The carbon pod shrouds the reverse mounted filter and smoothly shapes the airflow down to the MAF section which then connects to the rear inlet tube. This changes the flow path from the OEM airbox where airflow enters the front of the airbox, changes direction by 90 degrees to travel through the panel filter and then changes direction again by 90 degrees to move through the MAF section.
Our system is a lot more direct with airflow entering the front of the filter housing and and moving into the MAF section without any abrupt direction changes. The result is a smoother path from the filter to the turbo inlet tube and therefore the turbo is able to function with less drag.
BESPOKE CONE FILTER
In order to achieve the highest flow rate possible we used our largest filter which has an outside diameter of 210mm or 8.3″ and when flow tested with a housing using a 4″ opening is able to flow up to 940 CFM at 28″ H2O. The filter medium is ISO tested to ensure that filtration is in line with OEM standards and is also dry. The filter is constructed with our signature flow cones to aid in the Venturi housing principle.
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Our patented filter housing has a smooth reduction in cross sectional area as it shrouds the filter and tapers down to the tubing. This geometry invokes the Venturi effect where the airflow accelerates whilst maintaining laminar conditions. It can be thought of as a large velocity stack – below is a diagram to show the comparison between our patented design and a regular intake system. Our bespoke filters aid the airflow moving through the housings and allow for an even velocity profile as the airflow exits the housings. Further details can be read in the Technology and Filters pages.
CARBON DUCT
The duct feeds the filter housing with ambient airflow from the front bumper/grill section. We maintained as large a volume as possible all the way to the front of the engine bay and derestricted the front of the duct by creating an opening just behind the bumper where the bonnet would close. This area of the engine bay stays at ambient temperatures while the car is in motion through the help of our additional scoop and so the intake is able to draw in air without being restricted to the small opening on the slam panel.
We did not extend the duct to the other side of the engine bay to use the second opening in the grill simply because of the abrupt flow angle and the restriction in space between the engine and the bonnet catch. Furthermore, using the second opening would stop cold air from entering the engine bay to assist with reducing overall heat soak.
REAR TUBE AND EPDM COUPLER
The rear tube has been developed through extensive CFD modelling to remove turbulence and maintain as smooth a path as possible.
The OEM rear tube has a sharp internal bend radius and at high flow rates, this can cause unwanted turbulence which can affect the efficiency of the turbo. Several designs were tested in order to arrive at the most optimum shape which we then made from a high temperature carbon fiber.
We redesigned the rear tube to allow for a smoother bend which also allowed for a more optimum positioning of the filter housing. The connection between this tube and the filter housing is achieved with a custom made EPDM coupler which allows for vibrations and movement of the engine.

Eventuri was founded by a team of engineers and enthusiasts with a background in Aeronautics and tuning – all sharing a passion for cars and performance. After owning various intakes over many years for our own cars and being disappointed with the gains which seldom lived up to their claims – we decided to take things into our own hands and rewrite the book. To set a new benchmark in intake design and technology, above all – to engineer systems which provide real gains and then to publish genuine figures.
Our systems are extensively developed using cutting edge design, testing and prototyping methods. With a focus on performance, each design undergoes CFD analysis and is then validated at the prototype stage through volumetric airflow, intake temperature and extensive dynamometer testing. We strive to publish all the development information to illustrate the depths we go to in bringing an intake from concept to reality.
Only the best materials are selected for each component – even down to the choice of fasteners and fixings in order to ensure that the quality of the end product is second to none.
After many years of disappointment with the usual aftermarket intakes, we are proud to be raising the bar and creating intake systems which are setting a new standard and genuinely improve the performance of your vehicle.
