The day after I installed the intake the idling problems were basically gone (i.e. it has stalled only one time since then).

 

is this stalling only occuring on 6 speed manuals? or also on the auto tranny?

 

I know that mikeb and my10ae both have the K&N installed on an auto. They should be able to tell you if they've seen any problems.

 

I've had no problems with my intake

 

anyone have pics for the heat shield?

 

Vivid Racing is supposed to get the optional carbon fiber heat shields around the middle of Feb. Maybe we can get Huff to post a photo?

The RX8 Store just received a shipment of new intakes that include an aluminum heat shield. Maybe Jason can post a photo?

 

Hi all:

I'm the first 8 in the video clip Spaed Racer put up. I have had not "real" problems with my intake. The car did run rough for the first 30-50 miles (ECU learning?) and now everything runs excellent. My 8 has never stalled on me since the install.

I would like to get the CF heat shield when avalaible from VR. I think it is the last piece to ensure no warm air from the radiator makes it into the intake. I did leave in my bottom air box tray...

 

why the popping when the engine spools down like that?

 

that sounds awesome dizzude

 

didn't know the bay is that cramed

 

Hmm. Other than the idle and low power manuever I hear very little differnce in the "test drive" full accelerations of borla vs. stock exhaust with both having K & N intake. ALthough some on here like the popping backfire, it is a side-effect I don't want.

The intake though makes a BIG difference.

 

geeeeez im jealous from all your reactions to this link...to bad it doesnt work for me

 

you need the newest quicktime player install that then everything should work. also, of course, right click and save as the link dont try to play it thru the link
