I don't see how the front license plate would be an issue. The area where a front plate is fitted is solid plastic. There's no pass through airflow there anyway.

 

That concept would be worth looking at RG. Dont like the others. will keep watch. Any postings of pictures yet?

I'm not talking about a concept. I'm talking about what the actual piece looks like!

 

Hands reaching for VISA once again.

 

Besides being curious about true performance improvement, does it, will it change the sound of the REVi? If so, to what?

 

RG, you must be testing this on Brillo's car, right? Snap a pic man and post er up :D

I bet there is someone else close by me that has one to test...

 

how do you test hp gains on ram air since you cant ram air on a dino

 

i saw the prototype and it does look like how rotarygod is explaining it! just hope it isnt too expensive :/

 

148 MPH fans I guess :p

 

Good place to put it for performance, but i have to wonder if it effects cooling and how often your going to have the clean the filter since your going to be sucking in a ton of dirt/bugs

 

RG, does it have a mesh screen covering the inlet?

 

one thing it may affect is the sound. It may make the revi a little quieter. I ran a cold air thingy for some time with the stock box and etc. No problem with bugs etc. It will be hind the pseudo grill also so just visualize. There are not many differant shapes it could be. I bet you will have to drop your bottom pan to put it on AND now i know why RB designed the a/c screen the way they did!
I speculate it shouldnt be much over $100, I hope I am not wrong for Nemesis8's future visa mutilation lol!
Remember this engine enjoys anything cool in temp!

No Air screen I bet.

 

Your grille is the air screen. That's what the filter is for anyways.

 

thinking about chopping up the vfad to get a peice that will fit the opening through the beam then routing my own intake. Has anyone done this with the revi?

I hope its not going to be even close to a $100!! if it is, I'll be going to home depot!

After all, how much can a piece of plastic cost??

 

If you do that Old Dragger it won't be tuned.

 

Excellent. /mrburns

 

Why wouldnt that be in tune? I am only speaking of delivering cooler air to the revi intake. Not changeing the revi in any way. The revi box (just like the stock one) is HOT to the touch(after driving)! Doing this to the stock box sure cooled things. I think it can do the same for the revi(RB must think the same thing). I cut my vfad to get a piece that will fit well on the crash beam now I will look for the appropiate thing to get the cooler air from down in the grill area up to it. It sure cant hurt. Besides it keeps me busy and out of my wifes hair and my credit card in my pocket..

If you line the bottom of the intake box with seveal layers of tin foil, you can help keep the heat down somewhat. The radiator fans blow straight onto it.

 

Wow, this is a nice surprise!

I wasn't expecting this to come out until this fall.

Hmm, don't see the Mazda Warranty ***** liking this too much.

At least with the Revi, it isn't TOO noticeable.

 

It still might be this fall

 

you're right, I shouldn't have said that.

Now if it's delayed, it shall be ALL MY FAULT!

*laughing*

 

you dont notice the duct either. its well hidden

 

In your bumper?
