New Greddy cold air intake - slick!
Hopefully this link works - this is a link to a translated version of Greddy Japan's webpage -
http://ocn.amikai.com/amiweb/browser...=yes&display=2
I also attached a pic.
Seems to be a long-ram intake, drawing cold air from the passenger side fenderwell. Neat design!
Price is about $250 US dollars - hopefully they'll be available in the states soon.

Hmm, the link takes you to the main New Products page.
Click on the link on the page that says this -
"January 7 GRACER air INKUSU set MZ-M011B SE3P "
SE3P is the RX-8's chassis code (like FC3S and FD3S for the RX-7)

That may work on the j-spec car but I wonder what fitment would be like with our passenger-side oil cooler. Not to mention the fog lights.

It says in the description that it fits with the stock fog lights. Hard to say on the second oil cooler - I'm assuming they have models in Japan that have the second oil cooler as well.

Price is closer to $280 USD.
I especially like this part:
Junior and senior high schools?
I especially like this part:
the sequential dynamic air in TEKU system (S-DAIS) using inhalation-of-air pulsation of engine being adopted, and 13 B-MSP only removing and showing a pure air cleaner box, and only attaching a model cleaner -- reverse -- a power down -- carrying out -- junior and senior high schools -- depression of an output occurs in a rotation region

It seems overly long to me. You've got this huge grill opening but it actually goes past it to get to its final location. What is wrong with the grill opening? I would think that would be the best source of fresh air available. There was a Rotary Extreme prototype that used this spot, if I recall correctly, but I don't know whatever came of it.

Well, now I've seen everything. I'm not sure that will work on the USDM version. The oil cooler point is a good one, though personally I think that the bumper support or crash beam will get in the way. I've had the front bumper off and there's alot of stuff going on behind the skin. My guess it that it will fit with the crash beam removed. Or you could put an elbow in it, run it out the front opening and use it as a snorkel for fording those deep water holes in the Land Rover Chalange. LOL:D

I don't like the fact that the openning is so low in the car. Getting water in my engine when I run through a puddle or 8" of water is not a good thing.

ANY one know if that is compatible of the valve in the front. You know we have a S-DAIS system that open valve after 5500 rpm. When you open the valve below that you will decrease the torque at low ranges. That is why they close it. The air intake from the after market will eliminate this function or it is actually in front of the air box so it does not matter? Anyone can answer this question?

first off i agree.it will not make production... plus that would be an ugly sight to see..a big tube running horizontally across the corner of the grill...plus there are way to many bends in the design....power could be lost at one of those bend points...

I have a cold air intake system for my 240SX and it makes the piping longer and put the air filter in the open air like this design. It has increased HP at least on the butt dyno and others that have the same have had it dyno tested with good results.

I'm wondering if it will even fit the North American cars. Unlike Japan, we have a big bumper right there behind the grille. Does this go through where our bumpers are or does it run behind?

not if its mandrel bent. Why are you guys so hung up on this design between length and bends. once the filter is opened up it will definitely increase some HP and the water issue is easily taken care of with a bypass valve.

mandrel bending or not.."same ****...it still has to travel so far just to get throught the throttle...i mean look at it...its common sence...it just won't work...plus...plus even if it did work..which company do you know of actually makes pipes that long...and don't say aem..cause their cold air intakes are not that long....

well my injen intake is pretty long and probably has an additional at least 2-3 feet of extra piping to place the filter out of the engine bay. Believe what you must and I guess your shorter "straw" might work better for you, but my longer "straw" works very well and I would rather get some colder air.
