S34 Carbon Fiber Intake, Audi B8/8.5 Q5/SQ5 3.0 TFSI

Description

SüPERDüPER Performance Air Filter:

While 034’s existing 4” intake filter is more than capable of supporting 800+hp, 034 wanted to step it up a notch for this kit by including our SüperDüper 4” air filter. The S34 Carbon Fiber Intake houses a high-flow conical air filter with a double-layer pleated cotton filtration medium, capable of trapping particles as small as 5 Microns. This SüperDüper air filter design offers increased flow through an enlarged filtration surface while ensuring superior filtration. We have tested this SüperDüper air filter in applications over 1200HP with minimal restriction, and superior OEM quality air filtration.

While many intake kits leave the air filter unsupported and ”flopping” around, 034Motorsport engineers designed a clever air filter support that not only prevents unwanted movement but also allows compliance to accommodate engine movement under varying load conditions. An added benefit is an air shroud that doesn’t move and rub on other engine compartment components like many other designs on the market do.

Measurable Performance Gains:

There are several ways to quantify the performance of an engine system’s intake, the intake being the air box with filter that allows ambient air to enter the engines induction system that ultimately leads to the intake manifold. Ultimately how easily air flows through the intake filter and air box assembly determines how much the engine is restricted as it ingests air to combust it with fuel, and intake that restricts air flow will restrict the amount of air the engine can take in, which limits the power it can produce. Optimally, an intake should pose no restriction to the engine, so that the engine can ingest as much air as possible to produce the power it has the potential to produce. Typically factory intakes do this well, but as power is increased, the factory intakes pose more restriction and thus limit the power potential of the engine.

034Motorsport expresses their intake performance in pressure drop, CFM airflow and a Horsepower and TQ test. The most reliable of these 3 are pressure drop and CFM as these can be discreetly quantified for any intake in a very controlled way that allows the comparison of various intake system’s performance potentials. The HP test is the most relative as it relies on many other factors that affect the power output of the engine including ECU tuning, exhaust modifications, turbo system modifications etc. Since the intake doesn’t produce power itself, it only supports it, the actual power produced is always going to depend on the engine’s performance and also if it has a supercharger or turbocharger system involved.

When you see 034Motorsport’s accurately tested and advertised flow data, you can be assured that the intake you are considering has a substantively engineered flow increase to support your future power goals and activities.

Pressure Drop Improvements:

Pressure Drop is the difference in ambient air pressure and the air pressure measured at the supercharger inlet across the engine’s rpm range. The higher the pressure drop at any given rpm, the more restrictive the intake system is, reducing airflow.
