AEM or Mspeed. And no you really wont feel the difference because the gain is so small. And in the case of a short ram intake you actually lose HP. Go check out RX8 club some guy did this test already with a similar intake and actually was at a power loss after saying that he felt the increase in power ect.ect

Listen here Guy this is a video that shows the different mods I put on the RX8 and not sure if u drive an 8 or not but i do see a difference when auto-crossing, and yes I have been to rx8 club and I am also a member, I like this short ram due to the performance I get from auto-crossing the 8

[jyager281923]

ok so let me get this straight the im getting hot air in my intake even though the intake is right next to the coolant fan which controls air coming form outside the car in to the engine. That just dont make any sense to me, i understand the CAI will get colder air when routed under neath the engine area riddle me this though short ram is for take offs and launching is that not true.

[foxtrot870]

Why would you go from a stock CAI to that?...

Might as well move your rev limit to 7k dumbass...

[jyager281923]

Look it here dumb-ass, do u own a RX8 if not then dont comment, until u own a rotary engine then talk shit, and 2 the RX8 does not come with a stock CAI it comes w/ a standard box which blocked by the enormous plastic cover it comes with. 3 the reason i have the Secret Weapon R short ram is because of the auto crossing i do in it, if you know anything about that u know u need great take and launch starts, so next think before you talk Ass.

does anybody has an answer to the question below?

which intake is better the short ram intake? or the cold air intake?

[jyager281923]

yeah dude its simple, depending on how you drive your ride. For short distances and power in the city go with the short ram intake for more pull and more torque in the take off. Now for highway speeds i would recommend the cold air intake for top end speed. But i got my short ram and I love it. good luck man

[foxtrot870]

Engine bay temps get to 200F during IDle... The stock fans don't turn on until a temperature of 170F? how are you getting cold air compared to the stock intake which had its nose outside of the engine bay while your new intake is in the engine bay?... explain... a short ram intake is only possible on the rx8 when you cut a hole in your nose or use the RB duct which doesn't even supply a ram effect until 60+mph. You obviously aren't apart of a more educated community.... join rx8club to learn

@jyager281923 I really hope you're joking. It's been discussed several times on the rx8club that you actually lose horsepower by using a short ram intake. Even a K/N Cold Air intake you loose 1-2 hp that's how good the one Mazda put in the car is. The highest gain you can actually get from an intake is around 2-3hp and that's usually with the RacingBeat iRev Intake or the AEM intake and is barely noticeable for autocrossing... tires and suspension helps for autocross.

rotary's r dope.

[levinevels]

its still dumb, its still a waste of money, and its still a MAZDA. bummer

[philbrownell05]

The thing with a short ram intake is the fact that yes you are getting warmer air but you get more power in the lower end. But the thing with the secret weapon intake is they have a ram air kit that you mount towards the bottom of the bumper and you get a cold air charge as well as the response of the short ram. So it gives you power off the line but you also get that cold air charge for power in the top end like a cold air intake. End of story, it's a really nice intake.

can somebody tell how to put it together?

[darielon1]

@jyager281923 im trying to get an intake. i was looking at the weapon-r dragon. what u think?

[DORKYBA55ATTACK]

@DemosSouthpaw that's because you don't have as much velocity if you have a bigger diameter short ram, but you increase throttle response.

I had a homemade 3" short ram with the filter sitting straight off the throttle body on a Del Sol, and power wise it was about the same. But as soon as I hit the throttle, it would move.

[abstrakzgod]

lol idk what kind of intake to get for my rx8 lmao HELP ME!

[z31Joshyman]

hey man the intake sounds great. fuck the haters. i think its sounds good and looks good.

to all you dick heads posting on this vid, if he loses any power its only at the toptop end, and maybe a 5hp loss at the most. the short ram is better for torque numbers. thats why he wanted it.

@h2h2h2h2 and being the cost of MS items so high, AEM is where its at. just finished installing it. will be posting videos soon!
