The First
 
not really sure what i can say right now but. but I get the car back tomorrow so I can post the dyno sheets and pics of it. I can say that Injen technology will soon be selling an intake for the rx-8, and this thing is hot! I kind of snuck a few peeks in while they were doing it and there pulling some amazing numbers out of this. If youve driven with the k&n intake in (like me) you may notice the kind of dead zone in the 7k to 8k range were the power band kind of drops off. The Injen actually increased that midrange drastically and the top end gained even more. I know the actual numbers, but there still working on it so I dont want to give any bad info out. The actual unit there using has never been seen in a car before.( ill explain that tomorrow) :) I cant wait to drive it. Save your money cause your going to want this.

Sounds interesting! Can't wait to hear more

kevinD1226 06-03-2008 05:38 PM

odd, as there isnt any other intake on the market that has shown even remotely amazing numbers

what is drastic to you? 5whp - 3lb/ft?? :uhh:

i really doubt it.

not completely dismissing it as a possibility, but its extremely unlikely as any seriously notable gain over the OEM intake system will have to compromise at some other point in the power band.

probably the flow over the maf is changed you you temporarily get a nice increase from a leaner mixture until the ecm readjusts the fuel trims... just like all the others

+1 for likely

VarneyMazda 06-03-2008 07:41 PM

Very likely!

hurleyfevr 06-04-2008 01:22 AM

Well, I'll have the proof tomorrow hopefully! and the gain is constant throughout the powerband unlike other intakes that drop and rise through it. but they're in the double digits of hp gain :) .there using powerflow tech and there new fusion technology in this intake. you can check out the powerflow tech out on there site. For the short time i was there i know he commented on the ecu learning and after a few pulls the gains would slightly go down but with a few modifications(powerflow and fusion) it maintained the constant gain and is almost near completion. they were trying to squeeze a few more horses out of it last i heard. But the proof comes with the graph. just wait for my post and see for yourselves.

^ that is until the PCM wtf rapes you back to stock performance

its ok, I assume they are giving you the prototype for free anyways no?

John i think also had a prototype something intake in his car

but his custom one still pretty much raped everyone else's on the dyno regardless

N rider89 06-04-2008 04:40 AM

double digit gains seems unlikely. lets see that graph

ditto im not buying it!

only way it will work as claimed, is if there is a turbo somewhere between the filter and the maf sensor.

chrism 06-04-2008 09:13 AM

maybe there is a tornado in it

XDEEDUBBX 06-04-2008 10:03 AM

stick a sneaky pete in the intake tube...

hurleyfevr 06-04-2008 12:39 PM

Mikeluvs8 06-04-2008 01:19 PM

waiting..................................

Rkesh88 06-04-2008 01:22 PM

subscribed for the graph

hurleyfevr 06-04-2008 07:43 PM

got the graph and the car. will post at 10ish pm tonight. im not at home and cant upload it here.

kevinD1226 06-04-2008 07:45 PM

havent we heard this b4?

05rex8 06-04-2008 09:00 PM

this better be worth it

kersh4w 06-04-2008 09:04 PM

come on guys, intakes are intakes. we've seen the graphs before.. 10whp.. 12whp...

its all the same 2whp or less.

05rex8 06-04-2008 09:32 PM

^thats why I run the stock intake

kersh4w 06-04-2008 09:33 PM
