but the fact remains: this old early 90s NA civic just shamed a turboed sportscar rx-8. have u seen the j's racing s2000 and amuse s2000? those cars are favourites on the touge.

bringing in cold air is not the only reason for a CAI, your stock intake is not bringing in air any cooler than what the aftermarket will. A CAI will suck in more air faster which is the main reason they do anything. I may have been wrong about how much hp they give but I havn't come across anyone with a CAI for an RX8 yet who complains that they lost any power.

ahh.. RX8 is a useless car..

Uh, no. It isn't. There are few, though not many, RHD FDs coming in from Canada. RX7 sites have owners bitching that their ridiculously high set prices will get undercut by FDs from Japan that have been sent to Canada.

By listing AEM and "typhoon" as brands for professional quality intakes, you've automatically made your opinion invalid. An open intake in the engine bay, as mentioned, sucks HOT air from inside the engine bay into the engine. The point of a beneficial aftermarket intake is not only to grab cold air but to grab cold air from an area of high pressure. Slapping a cone intake on the stock airbox location is usually not beneficial and may actually lower power. Common sense.

The current value for a clean FD is 14K+ what makes you think you can get one for any less? FD's aren't your average Honda Civic. Their value hasn't decreased much over the years. If you go to Japan, the FD's there are around the same price as the US ones.

Rx8s come with 13B Renesis Engines. If you're looking for a high compression NA Rotary, the Renesis has the highest compression rotors out of all the 13b's, that's why it makes close to 190WHP stock. If you mean a 13B-REW(FD) engine. You are better off with a FD. You probably won't be able to build a turbo 13K RPM revving engine. But you'd get more power from the turbo engine than a 13K RPM revving na rotary.
