The Story:

Dinan Iridium Spark Plugs are an excellent upgrade for tuned, and even stock engines, where applicable. * Our spark plugs are made from Iridium – one of the strongest materials available. They last longer than other materials with higher melting points, run cooler, resist preignition, and even require less voltage to produce a strong spark. The iridium electrode with its copper core is harder and stronger than other materials, can dissipate heat more easily, and is better protected from melting, cracking, and other limitations found with standard plugs.

Dinan spark plugs are great for high boost, high cylinder pressure, high cylinder temperatures, and high-power situations, and they pair nicely with a set of Dinan ignition coils, where applicable. However, they are not only for tuned and higher output vehicles that may benefit from a plug cooler than the factory heat range – they also are applicable to non-tuned / stock vehicles as well! *

Compatible OEM Part #Cross Reference:

  • D640-0002 — 12120039664, 12120038896, 12120038704
  • D640-0001 — 12120040551, 12122455258, 12120046646, 12125A4EF60

*N54 & N55 COMPATIBILITY: Dinan plugs are numerous steps colder than stock on both the N54 (3 steps colder) and N55 (2 steps colder) and are suggested for tuned, high boost and/or upgraded turbo applications only. They are *NOT* suggested for non-tuned stock vehicles for these specific applications. If installed on a stock N54/N55 vehicle the plug will not reach its self-cleaning temperature and be unable to burn off the combustion deposits leading to fouling, misfires, and a shorter lifespan of the plug.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Always check sizes, gap, and heat range specs before installing. Installation of the wrong length plug can cause damage to the engine. You must verify this before installing the plug.

VAG Motorsport – Master distributor for Eventuri

VAG Motorsport is glad to announce that we have been appointed as the Master Distributor for Eventuri in South Africa.

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.

With so many aftermarket intakes available, the natural question arises:

“So what’s so special about the Eventuri Intakes?”

There are two main elements in explaining the answer to what sets us apart from the rest:

  1. The Patented Eventuri filter housing design
  2. Our Bespoke Filters
  3. Our emphasis on creating a “Complete Solution”

 

The Patented Eventuri Filter Housing

Even at first glance the Eventuri intake looks very different to many other aftermarket intakes. Unlike the majority of intakes, which use the same cone filter/tube/heat shield configuration, the Eventuri design is fundamentally different and has been Patented.

 

AFTERMARKET INTAKE SYSTEMS

Most aftermarket intakes use a cone filter mated to an inlet tube with some type of heat shielding. In this configuration airflow must negotiate a path from the large diameter at the base of the filter through to the smaller diameter of the inlet tube in a relatively short distance. There is usually a velocity stack at the base of the filter to help with the transition, however the stack is usually small. This sudden transition in geometry is detrimental for flow. The result is a loss of throttle response and performance gains are usually limited over the OEM intake system. The diagram below shows a typical aftermarket intake using a cone filter secured to an engine inlet tube. The filter uses a standard velocity stack, which has been highlighted in yellow.

 

Airflow-Cone

 

 

THE EVENTURI INTAKE SYSTEM

The Eventuri is a new type of intake design, which has been granted a patent. We use a cone filter – but here it is inverted and decoupled from the inlet tube. By removing the direct connection between the filter and the inlet tube, the filter is no longer dictating the shape of the airflow. This is now being done by the carbon housing, which is designed to smoothly guide the air into the inlet tube without a sudden change in geometry. This means that we keep laminar conditions throughout the intake, which is a lot more efficient. Furthermore, the funnel-shaped housing invokes the Venturi effect where the smooth reduction in cross-sectional area along the length of the housing causes the airflow to increase in velocity. Essentially the entire housing acts as a large velocity stack. On the road this translates to more power with a smoother delivery as well as sharper throttle response since the airflow is not inhibited by abrupt geometry changes andso is more likely to remain laminar. The diagram below shows an Eventuri intake system using a reverse mounted filter inside an Eventuri housing. The large velocity stack area is highlighted in yellow.

Airflow-Eventuri

Eventuri Bespoke Filters

To compliment our unique filter housings we designed our filters specifically for this reverse mounted configuration in order to provide the optimum airflow through the system. Detailed descriptions of the filters can be seen in the FILTER section.

The Complete Solution

The final element to our design – which is as important, is our emphasis on creating a complete solution. We dedicate a lot of design effort on ensuring the filter housings are provided with ambient air in the most efficient way possible. Allowing the filters to draw in heated air from the engine bay defeats the objective and in many cases is the cause of an actual loss in power over the stock system once the engine bay is heat soaked. Simply using heat shields is not enough – there must also be a method of channeling cold air into the intake. This is where we have seen some companies use “scoops” but on closer inspection are usually very flat and almost perpendicular to the oncoming air. Not the ideal solution for trying to redirect air at high speeds! Our scoop designs have, where possible a curved face for as much of the exposed area as possible in order to smoothly redirect incoming air to the filters. In doing so we ensure that engine bay heat is displaced and so intake air temperatures are kept as low as possible.

From scoop to duct to housing to inlet tubing – by utilizing organic shapes, we invest a great deal of time and effort in providing a smooth path for the airflow to follow. Hence ensuring maximum efficiency of the system.

On The Road

With a smooth inlet track to the MAF tube/Engine inlet and by ensuring we have an effective cold air supply to the filters, the resultant performance increases translate to an enhanced driving experience:

  • Throttle response is sharper as air speeds in the inlet track are maintained by the Venturi effect.
  • Low/mid range torque is increased which improves general driveability. The car feels more aggressive and eager to drive.
  • Top end power is increased as the engine is allowed to draw in cold air with less restriction.

Couple the performance increase with a more audible and sonorous induction sound and the overall driving experience is much more involving and enjoyable.

APR CATBACK EXHAUST – 25T MK3 RS3 AND TT RS

THE APR MK3 RS3 / TT RS CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM IS HERE

The APR Catback Exhaust System personalizes your vehicle’s looks, sound and performance. Beautifully hand-crafted T304-stainless-steel components adorn the system with stunning TIG-welding throughout. Our straight-through brushed-finished mufflers smooth the exhaust note to a deep growl, without adding restrictions or rasp. Strong high-quality bracketry and OEM-style clamps hold the system steadily in place, making the install or removal a snap, and fitment simple, yet precise. Dual 2.5″ mandrel-bent exhaust paths provide an ultra-smooth path, steadily feeding exhaust gasses out of the quad exit system, while looking tidy from under the rear bumper. Our cast valve housings enable the vehicle to be fitted with the factory electronic valve actuators, retaining OEM valve operation for variable sound levels. Finally, our 170x112mm ovalized diamond black exhaust tips finish the system, adding a classy RS-inspired touch to the rear of the vehicle.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • T304 stainless-steel construction
  • Argon back-purged TIG welding throughout
  • Dual 63.5mm mandrel-bent brushed tubing with quad 63.5mm outlets in dual tips
  • 170x112mm ovalized diamond black tips
  • Dual exhaust valves

  • Easy to install

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The factory exhaust system starts life as a dual pipe setup but then converges to a single pipe before entering a suitcase style muffler. Our system uses dual 63.5mm piping with no mid mufflers or resonators, and continues all the way to our large sound absorption rear muffler. The cross sectional area of our dual setup is 26% larger than stock! There the system splits to a quad 63.5mm design. Internally the valved path is straight through with no muffling, while the unvalved path is perforated for sound level reduction. This exits the rear into a pair of 170x112mm diamond black exhaust tips that look menacing from the rear of the vehicle.

MUFFLERS

The mufflers are responsible for tuning the exhaust note and do so without adding unnecessary restrictions to the system. Each unit features a straight-through perforated tube that’s tightly wrapped with stainless steel and fiberglass material. The mufflers have a beautiful brushed finish, and are tucked high in the exhaust tunnel, making them perfect for lowered vehicles.

EXHAUST VALVES

Our system features two valves that allow control of the volume of the system via the factory exhaust valve actuators. In doing so, the system can go from tame to aggressive instantly! Unlike pneumatic systems, and other common valves found in the market today, our system maintains identical OEM operation all the way down to the factory valve actuation angles. Furthermore, the system is fully compatible with exhaust remotes, allowing end users to manually open the system at the click of a button. We cast the valve housings out of T304 stainless-steel. Internally the system uses CNC-machined T303 components and brass bushings, which have stood up to our extreme torture testing. All necessary hardware is welded into place and is designed to combat heat and vibration for years to come.

BRACKETS

Our brackets ensure a strong and precise fit, every time. With our design, you’ll never need to worry about the brackets sagging and losing their shape over time, or the post slipping out of the hangers. The brackets are rigid, exact in their position, fit snugly in place and are made to stand the test of time.

TUBING AND WELDS

We use T304 stainless steel tubing throughout. We brush and de-burr all pipes, use mandrel bending techniques to ensure the pipes keep a constant diameter throughout, and use argon-back purged TIG welding for a strong and attractive weld.

TIPS

Our 170x112mm ovalized exhaust tips upgrade the rear of the vehicle. The RS-inspired tips tuck nicely into the factory valance, gently following the valance’s curves and demanding all the right attention in all the right places. We etch a small and discreet APR logo onto the top of each tip, and we tig weld the tips into place.

CLAMPS

Our system uses OEM-style low-profile slip clamp. Our clamp selection allows the system to sit high in the exhaust tunnel, as is favored by lowered vehicles, with ultimate compatibility no matter what midpipe you may have. Each connection point is strategically placed to ensure the system has minimal opportunity to rotate during install or during years of heavy driving. Finally, because there are no flanges or swedges on the pipe, fitting the system to the factory midpipe or others is a breeze. There’s no cutting, welding, or glaring compatibility issues, and there are no gaskets to replace.

COMPATIBILITY

We’ve designed our system to be 100% bolt-on. There’s no cutting, welding, or finagling to get the system to fit. It simply bolts on for use with the factory midpipe
