Umnitza - price variable normally $229.00 sometimes 300 sometime 170?

kwescott 05-18-2006 04:16 PM

what would be nice are some pictures of each one :) Some pics of the installation process, or of the actual part already installed. I mean, if this is going to be Sticky quality, we got to include those, as well as maybe links to the DIY's.

btw, my revi and air duct was bought new at $50 under the price you list. I guess you're doing MSRPs.

listing prices as I see them. I got that price from Racing Beats web site. usually if i find thit cheaper someplace I try to list that price. :) some of the prices I had for some of these products I am grouping start off real high, and fall as I go. I HAD the mazdaspeed flywheel in he flywheel thread starting at like 650 bucks. then found a more realistic price was like 480. :)

$295+$122 for the complete Revi package at www.mazdaparts.com with gold member discount. Thats only $417

BlueRenesis82 05-21-2006 09:18 AM

you might want to yank out the first gen K&N kit, it was discontinued due to rough idle issues

although he first gen was discontinued, i think it is still a good idea just to leave it up with a comment of why it was terrible.

speeddemon32 05-22-2006 10:26 AM

yeah, I know it was discontinued, it's the one I have. I have had zerp problems with it though. I love it in fact. I love the ability to cruise around and be quiet like normal, and when you step on it make some seriouse noise when you want to.
I have experianced no idle problems,,,, no other problem at all.

BlueRenesis82 05-22-2006 12:55 PM

yea, thats why it was discontinued, not everyone had problems with it

speeddemon32 05-22-2006 01:11 PM

yeah thats what i hear to.

I have not heard anything bad about the 2nd gen K&N have you? friend of mine just got it, and another friend has had it for a while, they dont have any complaints that i know of.

BlueRenesis82 05-22-2006 01:16 PM

the 2nd gen K&N works fine from what I have heard, but as with any intake there is limited power increase.

speeddemon32 05-22-2006 02:10 PM

well yeah, I never claimed it made the car much faster..... just like the abnoxious noise it makes when I want it to. :)

dont forget or did you just miss this one.

speeddemon32 05-22-2006 02:23 PM

updated to more relistic numbers. considering those were GOLD price numbers, I rounded up.

also added a couple more intakes.

lesper4 05-22-2006 05:57 PM

Doesnt really matter if they are gold pring or not, there is a thread that allows you to get gold member pricing as long as your are a member on this forum and I think free shipping as well. But at least it is better then before.

speeddemon32 06-14-2006 12:38 PM

added some links.

kwescott 06-14-2006 03:44 PM

here's a link with pics of the Umnitza/Simota CF Intake

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=92098

I thought we were going to put pics of installed intakes on the first post?

There's a video of it on that link as well...maybe we could post additional video's for the one's we have access to....?

Speed, we could get KN ver 1, KN ver 2, Racing Beat, AEM...I think I may even have a pic of the SR Motorsports one when it was on Jill's car.

speeddemon32 06-14-2006 04:03 PM

get some pics together, shrink them all to about the same size, and a size that will fit well on here (look at the flywheel post) and post the pics. I will then link them accordingly. ;)

kwescott 06-14-2006 04:07 PM

ok, looks like most of them are in the range of 240 x 160. I'll see what I can do. :)

kwescott 06-14-2006 07:58 PM

have anyone try k&n intake with rb air duct ??

speeddemon32 06-21-2006 11:22 AM

Pics have been added. although I know we can get a better pic of your racing beat. :) I know you can get a good pic of Erica's gen 2 also. ;)

kwescott 06-21-2006 03:45 PM

I know it works. I know it also works with the factory intake. RotaryRasp has just the duct, with the stock intake.

kwescott 06-21-2006 03:47 PM

that pic of my duct didn't really show very well...maybe we should pm Jedi for some of his install pics.

speeddemon32 06-21-2006 04:36 PM

either that are just get a close up of the grill.

kwescott 06-21-2006 05:44 PM

FYI, that first pic you have under Version 2 K/N is actually Version 1 (that is not spiceboys' car)...it was one I took at 7-stock.

speeddemon32 06-21-2006 05:54 PM

I know that is not spice boys car. but that is a ver 2... it has a round filter on it.

EDIT: my bad i didnt even look at the first pic. I assumed it was the same car with a ver 2. I will move the ver 1 up.

kwescott 06-21-2006 05:56 PM

Where is the Mazdaspeed CAI?

speeddemon32 07-18-2006 08:06 PM

it's in there... $330
or is there two?

KJ238 07-18-2006 08:52 PM

I don't believe that you left out greddy

speeddemon32 07-18-2006 09:12 PM

have any info on the missing intakes? links, price, name.....? I will add them to the list.

Ninja 07-28-2006 06:00 PM

What's the general consensus about which intakes are better?

Personnally, I'm thinking about the RB Revi with CAI and the MazdaSpeed CAI... Thoughts and feedback?

Thanks,
-Dennis

kwescott 07-28-2006 06:17 PM

I have the RB with CAI. I bought it because it looks stock, and I assume I'll have less problems when I go to get the car smogged. With most of the other intakes, the air filter is exposed...and in California, there is no way to pass an emissions test. So, you are forced to switch back to the stock intake parts for the test, and then switch it back after you pass. With some cars, this is easy...but on the RX8, there is a lot to do.

Avoid the hassles, get the RB.

The only draw back is the sound....I would love to have a loud intake, to match the exhaust. You just don't get that same sound from the RB, even with the cold air duct. The air duct is a must, it increases the sound a bit, as well as the performance...plus it looks cool, especially if you have an aftermarket front end.

speeddemon32 07-28-2006 06:39 PM

Kwescott, your intake is louder then you think. at the track a couple months ago you were pointed at me and I heard your intake clear as day. the differance between mine and yours, is that mine is loud in any direction of the car, even inside. yours is only loud it seems if the car is pointing at you. I know it sounds dumb, but true. (yours is also quiet in the car) . I think it has somehting to do with the RB ducking you have pointing it in one direction........ ????????? I duno.

I'm tellin you, when you were driving out there, I thought it was my car for a second. I had to turn around and look.

kartweb 07-29-2006 10:44 AM

Yesterday at lunch I spotted a unique looking RX8 and followed him to Subway. It had a fiberglass nose like some I've seen but added a NASA duct directly in front of the air intake. The owner said the front end had some parking lotr damage, a small gift left to him while shopping and rather then the factory nose replacement bought the one he had on. He added the duct before painting and modified the stock box to fit into it. He felt it made a bigger difference at speeds over 50 MPH then a 3" straightpipe, especially at higher RPM. He has a flat K&N air filter in the stock box.

A few other tidbits; Its a 2004 that had a new motor put in around 25,000 miles. It currently has 90,000 on it and still runs strong. At 40,000 he began running Mobil 1. At 50,000 he put the 3" straightpipe & exhaust in. He runs RX7 plugs, and changes them about every 25,000. Put a clutch in at 80,000 when the slave cylinder was leaking and had a slight chatter in the clutch. He gets 25 MPG on the road at 75-80 MPH and 18 MPG around town - less if he revs it a lot. His best mileage on trips has been 27 MPG through Oklahoma where speeds are mostly limited to 55. He runs 89 octane if he's going to be running highway only - not because the mileage is better but because the higher octane isn't needed as much under a staedy load. Any other time he only runs 93 octane. (He hasn't seen any difference in mileage between 89 & 93).

He's added an oil temp gauge and can't understand why Mazda never added one. Apparently the oil temps can get pretty high after pulling off the highway and idling - then when pulling away the temp spikes about 40° - thinks the coolers need fans for sitting still but couldn't figure out a way to add them. With petroleum oil temp spikes were closer to 60° and typically ran about 30° hotter all the time - which is why he changed to synthetic. Also the oil vapor smell tends to go away with synthetic.

Just a few extra tidbits you may find interesting.

speeddemon32 07-29-2006 05:33 PM

yes that is all interesting. :) thanks!

the oil cooler fan would be pretty cool. I would just use some sort of computer fan, 40mm 60.. 80mm ... what ever fit.
