Guess you missed my sarcasm...

 

uhmm i ono where ur coming from, but last time i was at RB (last month) they had a renesis engine on the dyno and were testing its long term efficiency and forced induction capabilities for mazda.
AND
RB did aid in the concept race prepped miata that made a US tour

so boo!

 

why would Mazdaspeed want to copy RB's design when RB's design is not really anything more then a stock box with a conical filter in it and no baffles for noise??

 

K&N makes a wide variety replacement filters with an internal molded velocity stack inlet (much larger OD than the pipe inlet) and even extra filter capacity on the cone end, if I got the MS one I'd probably swap that cone off for one of those instead

that is exactly what I'd get too.

 

This is what I've been trying to say....thank you for putting it so simply in a sentence.

 

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the MS piece appears to eliminate the MAF screens

 

If you think that's all it is, you've never seen one in person. Yes it is a box that fits the stock location and has a filter in it. That's the only similarity. That must mean my little stock Civic intake is basically the same thing too.

 

it probably needs to be turned at the the rubber joint, they probably just turned it for a clear photo of what it is, looks to me like if you rotated the front section at the rubber joint it would it would go down and then turn the filter horizontally aross the front of the car

 

hey team why don't u fix ur avatar or is it supposed to be that way?

 

fix your browser settings, there's nothing wrong with the avatar, some browsers block it as a popup for some reason, Firefox is one

the pic was uploaded off my computer onto this site, it's not a link

 

still a broken gif. if you made it yourself you probably used the wrong codec.

 

Everything holds hot air around the engine when it is turned off

 

here u go bud, I converted it to a usable format...I believe it was encoded with the older gif non-interlaced formatting so it would not show in many browsers

no need for gif since it isn't an animated icon

give this one a try

 

I think you are all silly billies for getting lured into this.

I highly doubt that intake pictured would fit into a stock rx8, the piping is all wrong.

 

whatever you say partner, here goes

 

try again Billie, that picture is out of the new 2006 Mazdaspeed catalog

 

Naw, dude, when your trying to mock someone your supposed to say it like this: "BILLAY!"

Feel free to practice by yourself, and in time you can show us what your really made of

In front of mirrors helps.

 

why would I feel the need to improve my mad mocking skillz with you, you're doing a great job all by yourself


btw, just in case you didn't see where this all began

it works!

 

 

 

Wait a second, 2 1/2" diameter tubing? The stock throttlebody is 75mm. That's 3".

 

 

maybe the guy who posted that got the wrong pic
