Important (intake question)
hello friends as they are, my name is Miguel the country of Chile , I have a red rax8 2007 .
is a pleasure to be in this forum. I have several questions as I am changing my rx8 . I got online today with Ports 3 full inches , but header , but Piasini chip and K & N induction Typhon .
my question is:
on many occasions they told me that the K & N induction for RX will remove power elsewhere say no but what I see is that this sucks hot air induction since it is not closed and has a tube to the outside.
I asked him a extention and covered with another filter tube and take extention to the bumper. my doubt is in the experience of you recommend me to gain power and I do not subtract power , leaving the K & N induction or origuinal put the factory .
I 've raced on several other occasions with rx standard and in 2 chance almost won me being modified , I think my car is to go skate a lot and occasionally sticking my second and third . as my car is the 9800 short rescheduled .
be appropriate to move the gears at 8500-8900 rpm or 9800
thank you very much and I hope you help me .

K&N is the 2nd worse brand name intake you can buy. It's not just because of the "hot air" problem, but that our MAF is very sensitive to airflow changes, and the K&N intake doesn't let the air flow past the MAF smoothly enough. Keep the stock intake. If you really want an intake, get the Racing Beat or AEM/Mazdaspeed intake.
I think your last question is shifting point. Shift at 8,500rpm.

There isn't much you can do for power for the RX-8 unless you add a supercharger or turbocharger, or add nitrous.
This is a post from the new owner's thread that you should read to see why, and what limits there are: https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...4/#post4533719 (link should go right to the correct post)

Yea bro I have the k&n and I'm headed to the revi intake with duct, or if I can find a stock air box assembly for a good deal I'll go with that. My idle is great! a little jumpy at times but my engine bay gets real hot so I can only imagine if had the aem or revi or oem how my idle would be. I suggest stock too if I had to choose from those 3.

thank you very much but I'm not clear. I make him take out the k & N TYPHON or I make a box to insulate from heat and cover my car. estava thinking of placing a tube down the bumper to take him to suck air conical. if you'll have closed debira suck cold air and not calntarce filter.
saying. com quedaria the REVI.
GREETINGS,

Thank you very much for everything. Extract the induction K*N and volvi to the Origuinal of the RX8 and him puce a pipe as the AEM down. Nowadays my car this one with header and line of leak in 3 inches. All the hp aprximadamente it is gained by this. Also I have reporgramacion Piasini, as his experience this rescheduling that I did to him is good or bad. Regards,
