Is impossible to get proper intake kit that will help cooling, so i ask my fabrication shop to build my buddy s track Rx8 a titiaium intake !!!!!
All it left to be done is custom towhook serve as impact protection

 

Looks pretty good. Any details on flow straighteners used (aka honeycomb straightener)? I'm not sure what you mean by impossible to get a proper kit, are the AEM/Mazdaspeed intakes no longer available?

 

yes, but that kit has it’s issues too. An airflow straightener is a waste of time for NA imo. I haven’t run one since around 2007/2008. Which the one on that kit is restrictive and a bit fubar in design.

if you want a glass smooth idle on a Renesis engine then either put a heavier flywheel on it or raise it to 1000 rpm.

however, a pair of aluminum elbows and several cuts/welds would have accomplished the exact same thing for a lot less cost and effort, along with being lighter. Not really the correct material for the job imo. Carbon fiber would be best, then aluminum.

 

I spent more years boosted than not so sometimes I don't think of these things lol.

 

Thanks

Because if u ahip aem kit to my county
The shipping and tax add up might just well build the one here

The car originally come racing beat intake too, took that off for better cooling

 

it does look cool but too bad the bumper isn’t clear, 😂

 

Well i put this way to get maximum cooling area possible

 

does the front bumper bar go back on over it?

 

Not with Re Amemiya D1 bumper
Its opening extend way over above bumper support

 

there really wasn't any need for it to be routed down into the flow path to the radiator then

 

MAF readings are all over places without screens, even removing one screen would cause high/low positive false reading.
Unless messing with ECU tables.
On my tests with no MAF screen = messed up engine under 4000rpm, hard start, shaking and all other funny things.

 

you couldn’t get it to work while others and I could, that’s no surprise.

Neither AEM on cold air intakes nor all other after market air boxes.
