:lol:

:lol: I picked up that as well .

yep,

vaporware.

and he wins agian, i might have to get a t shirt or something. ;)

beers :beer:

a week is not a lot of time. every intake takes at least a week

just saw an intake thread and was reminded of this.... seems like nothing happened.. did we scare him off? was it a load of crap? will the world be saved? stay tuned!

load of crap.

beers :beer:

Heres the pictures of the finished product.

:jerkit:

Where are the pics? Where is the data supporting the 20 whp gain up top?

9500RPM's????? Did they do some tunning too? 7K-9.5K in 5th gear. Hope you were on a track, thats well over a 100 MPH.

oh dear - this is going to get ugly .....

You were driving over 130 MPH on the way home huh? :rolleyes:

Wasn't there suppose to be a dyno chart for this? Didnt see any lol. 20hp? Maybe 2hp and thats unlikely too. Atleast it matches with all the car covers. Although i removed all mine because plastic= wtf gey lol.

thanks for the pics hurley! do you know when they plan on releasing it?

I think it actually looks great. Would like to see pictures of the tube and filter...does it have a loud ricey sound or is it like stock?

There's more to it that just a filter here guys. There's at a minimum some kind of ecu tricking/reprogramming.

FWIW: Speedsource Racing has done literally hundreds of dyno runs on Renesis engines trying everything from various exhaust setups, headers, porting styles, and intakes. Their race cars that run 2 rotor Renesis engines still use the factory stock intake and paper element air filter and they manage to put down about 230 rwhp. Yes they do some very good tuning!

How an air filter or anything else for that matter compares to another product in terms of flow is irrelevant if they all meet the engine's requirements. A few years ago I had collected a few different RX-8 intakes and was going to flow test them and post the results. I decided not to since people would base their opinions solely on the highest number I'd post. The reality is that all of them flowed what the engine does at redline so there was no point.

I doubt its going to add any HP or TQ, I just thought it looked cool. Not like I am going to buy it

Actually just go to Injen's website and take a look at their powerflow intakes. The description says what it all is. It's not a direct ecu calibration but rather fancy marketing on paper that leads to nice gains.

Here's one of their "secrets" to making good power. It's a velocity stack. Guess what? Even the STOCK RX-8 intake has a velocity stack! So does the Racing Beat system.

ok for the first question I believe they are releasing the first ones in the uk then I think I heard a couple of months for us. The velocity stack is one thing yes but when they had just that it still made minimal gains they then put on the " MR Technology which is the step down process of the tube and that gave them a little more power. Then, they have there new thing" I think they call it fusion tech". Which they do in fact use a little something, I cant say where or what it is. only thing is that it is in the tube and it does trick the ecu and that is where there gains really show. I had a a dyno graph up not to long ago. Ill see if i cant dig it up again. Havent had time to go out and take pics of the tube and stuff yet. But all your going to get is an outside tube shot no inside the tube shots ;) Ill have to ask if i can show whats inside or not.

It sound like the aem and the k&n intakes still they wanted to make one a little more subtle but even with the power flow box its still loud. It may have a bit more muffled sound but not enough to really matter.

Tricks the ECU huh? I can't wait for somebody to install one of these on their car with an AccessPort or the RB flash. Popped motors: not just for the FI crowd anymore! :lol2:

that thing looks nice though :)

but why buy it when you can modify the stock to be just as goood!z

If you're into the whole "hide everything with plastic" stock look, yeah. I don't care for it personally... call me crazy but I like being able to see my battery terminals, dipstick, oil fill, etc without having to remove a bunch of plastic covers.

I have my doubts on this. But have been wrong before.

nice look but dont expect nything else.---without tuning
