.:Eurocode Tuning:. TRUFit Air Intake System for the B8 S4 and S5 3.0T

[bbhbba]

Personally, I want to express my appreciation for those being frank and saying you hear much supercharger whine. I'm one of the very few around these parts that doesn't like it, so having the option of an intake that improves performance and only lets the whine out at WOT or heavy acceleration is music to my ears. I hear enough whining from my kids!

Is the aFe filter going to fit?

[cfritos]

All this will do is suck in hot engine bay air...

You should record your intake temps before and after to see how it works out. I might be wrong...

Its very hard to properly modify a stock air box, what you might think is a great thing to remove took engineers several months to perfect. In general you want an enclosed box with access to fresh cold air protected from engine bay heat.

You also want enough air flowing in and a filter that can pull enough CFM at WOT. 90% of aftermarket filters were not designed with this in mind most companies pick a filter that fits in their location they want with zero thought into what would be optimal.

So for our cars to maintain 12 psi (stage1 tune) stock tune drops off after 4500 iirc. Is a 7.2" long air filter or 110 square inches of surface area.

This filter appears to go slightly beyond the needed numbers for 12 psi possibly in the 13-14 psi range. Though without the exact size specs and CFM flow I cant be 100% sure.

Just thought I'd share some fun facts, I spent over a year designing an optimal intake and custom size air filter for my turbo RX-8 I am really into intakes I have no idea what my obsession is with them...

no, that box whole gets covered from the top, it is still only sucking in air from the front of the car. That hole inst exposed once you put the top cover on.

Did I read that there is going to be a red intake tube option?

No, we only procure them as shown in the photos.

finally got around to installing the intake, it's a tight fit. but love the amount of whine so far. more then stock, but not too extreme

[Kem]

Any chance this fits a C6.5 A6 3.0T?

No, this is for the S5/S5 3.0T

I love intakes in red on this motor. Matches the coilpacks

was this spray painted with that caliper paint?

Custom powdercoating job.

I've got what is probably going to be an issue in the future. Sorry for the blurry photo, but the tang on the clamp on the left is poking into the intake hose. I'm thinking just using a large nut smooshed between the hose and the clap. I'd place the hole in the nut over the clamp. The nut itself would ride on the clap and the nut would be large enough to not cause a problem with the hose.

Other suggestions? I guess I could twist the clamp slightly.

Anyone else see this issue?

When we install the hose, we rotate that clamp if it touches. (not all cars have the clamp oriented the same)

[dynasty0002]

Our product was designed without the need for any additional hoses or brackets. With our TRUFit technology everything is designed to integrate seamlessly with the OEM Air Box. Our TRUFit inlet hose even has small relief cuts in it where there are small clips holding the factory plastic filter adapter (seen in the final image).

Anything coming for the A4

Anything coming for the A4

We have a TRUFit turbo inlet hose for the A4 and recommend either the APR/Carbonio Intake (our hose was designed to make it fit perfectly) or a drop in air filter.




We have a really nice set of silicone intercooler hoses



and a front mount intercooler upgrade too!

Thanks for the suggestion.

i got my eurocode 2nd hand from another friend however the inside of the tube is dusty , does anyone have any tips for getting it cleaned out? I'm warry of installing it with any rogue debris getting past the filter because i decided not to clean it thouroughly

I have a 2014 S4 and recently had the Stage ll APR ECU Reflash and Pulley with Belt installed. The APR full exhaust is being installed next week. Since I went all APR so far I was going to install the APR Carbonio Intake but they still have not finished developing an intake that will fit with the 2014 S4 B8.5 facelift. Will the Trufit work with the B8.5 and would it be a mistake to not stick with APR?

[gendry]

It will work (I have it on my B8.5). Wouldn't be a mistake, pick whichever brand you want.

Our TRUFit works great with 2013-2014 B8 Chassis cars. We have a killer deal going on for Black Friday-Cyber Monday too. http://www.ecodetuning.com/shop/cart..._detail&p=2235

Soap and water my friend. Just dry it afterwards... Don't make it difficult.

Damnit. Wish I would have waited a couple more weeks. That's a nice deal.

[provenflipper]

That price is incredible.

[meph]

Its back on sale. :)

[mrquick68]

after the smoking price EC put these things at, i bought one and just installed tonight. first impression, looks clean, nice parts and pieces. Wish it came with directions (would've saved me some time) or at least had directions posted online (which they don't). And not as simple as i would thought to install, but not terrible. Great mod for the money! Subtle sound that i was looking for, and of course a little more HP :)

[steve trac]

Agreed about the instructions. They should have been written when it was released. That said, I got a very fast email reply that answered the 3 detailed questions hat I had about the install.

any pointers? i should be getting mine soon...

[steve trac]

any pointers? i should be getting mine soon...

1. don't reinstall the 1/4" thick OEM O-ring
2. don't need to use Loctite to secure the filter to to the top of the airbox
3. you MUST line up the notches in the hose with the airbox clips (mine prefer to be 1/4" off but "they test every unit and it will fit").

I recommend getting everything connected including the very front airflow piece that connects to the airbox, then adjust the hose to fit the notches, then tighten the hose clamps. When I tightened everything then tried to attach that front airbox piece, it didn't fit well.

Any chance this fits a C6.5 A6 3.0T?

Was gonna ask the same thing.... A guy on here got a Roc Euro intake from an S4 to fit his C6.... So this might work.

[TSXCman]

Does anyone know the performance related numbers for this product and the roc euro intake? for HP and MPG changes?

Also the sound difference?

It wont line up.

[iceboss23]

So apparently one needs to be very careful not to over tighten the two screws attaching the filter to the airbox as they will tear right out of the rubber on the filter. Looks like I need a new filter... so not happy about this. What is the difference between the aFe Power Magnum FLOW OER Air Filter on the eurocode site and Eurocode's own filter?

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the installation, PM sent.

[iceboss23]

Once again Eurocode... Total class act. Love these guys.

[Russtty]

We have a filter service kit, $14.99. It includes 12oz of cleaner spray and 8oz of recharge oil.

50k is the typical service time but may vary with environmental conditions.

This information is incorrect, I'm going to check our outgoing email server and have a conversation with whoever sent it. Our filter is oiled, dual layered cotton gauze. We do have a filter cleaning kit available.

Any suggestions for a cleaning kit for those of us north of the border? Is it any different than say a K&N service kit?

Thanks!

Steve

A K&N kit will suffice
