umnitza/simota cf intake question
i am interested in possibly upgrading my k&n typhoon version 1 intake to either the k&n version 2, revi, or the umnitza/simota carbon fiber intake. I was wondering if the umnitza intake uses any of the stock rx-8 intake parts to install such as a screen, or the accordian style rubber tube like the revi and k&n version 2 do. I ask this because i no longer have the stock intake, only the typhoon version 1, and i need to know if i would need any of the stock parts before ordering the umnitza intake. i tried searching for this information but came up with nothing.

Thats the only place I could find that sells the Umnitza/Simota intake.
I'm interested in this intake as well...

the ram air wont connect right to the umnitza intake like it is supposed to. this intake does not connect to where the stock intake does. also I have heard of some stalling issues if you get rid of the stock intake duct, I cant remember the name of it at the moment. supposedly at high speeds if you push in the clutch and let it go to idle they sometimes stall out... I do not know if the same would happen if you replaced it with the RB Ram Air duct.

i just ordered mine from the same guy as DrRockin, he said he is currently out of stock but he should be recieving more within 2 weeks. so hopefully he gets them in soon.
ive heard about the stalling problem that twinrotary was talking about, but i believe it only occured if you remove the vfad (variable fresh air duct). this problem was fixed by adding one screen from the stock intake in the filter. i dont think anyone has tried it yet with the ram duct yet, but it should work fine with no stalling issues, but i dont know.

nah he sold the two before he even put it on my car for a dyno. I'm not sure if he is still looking to do a dyno though seem like the intakes are selling anyways.

Someone in the Asian forums reported a gain of .8HP, but he did a few modifications to improve the simota intake.
The K&N Version 2 needs the MAF Screen or at least in the Intsall instructions it tells you to add the stock MAF Screen. I believe the Simota intake uses the accrodian pipe.
I really doubt how effective the RB Ram Air Duct would be with the Simota Intake, unless you seal it and connect it. TeamRX8 was planning on something like that.
You might want to read up on sstricker's posting on the simota intake below because the intake caused horrible problems for him, twice. We can only speculate on the second time he had problems, but the second version was a revised version...
