Maximize Rotary Performance: Air Intake Kit with Heat Shield for Mazda RX-8
Let your Renesis spin freely. The Mazda RX-8 is beloved for its incredible chassis balance and high-revving 1.3L rotary engine. However, the factory air box restricts the massive amount of air this unique engine needs to generate power. Our Performance Air Intake Kit replaces that restriction with a high-flow system featuring a protective heat shield. The result is a dyno-proven gain of 5-8 Horsepower and 5-8 lb-ft of Torque, sharper throttle response, and the distinct, aggressive rotary sound that enthusiasts crave.
Why Upgrade Your RX-8 Intake?
Power & Efficiency: By smoothing out the airflow path and increasing volume, this kit improves the combustion cycle, resulting in increased HP, Torque, and potential gains in fuel economy.
Includes Heat Shield: Rotary engines generate significant under-hood heat. This kit includes a custom heat shield to block hot engine bay air, ensuring the intake draws in cooler, denser air for maximum power.
Dry High-Flow Filter: Features a specialized Dry Filter media. This offers superior filtration and airflow without the use of oil, which is critical for keeping your Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor clean and accurate.
Enhanced Rotary Sound: Transform the driving experience. This intake amplifies the unique "beehive" frequency of the rotary engine, delivering a deep, throaty tone under acceleration.
Cost Effective: The included filter is washable and reusable. Simply clean it periodically—no need to buy disposable paper filters ever again.
Vehicle Fitment
This system is custom-engineered for the following application:
2004 – 2011 Mazda RX-8
Engine: 1.3L Renesis Rotary
Important Maintenance Note
⚠️ DO NOT OIL THE FILTER: This kit uses a Dry Filter media. When cleaning the filter during maintenance, simply wash and dry it. Do not apply oil. Applying oil can foul the sensitive MAF sensor on the RX-8, leading to check engine lights and poor performance.
Quick & Easy Installation
Time Required: Less than 60 Minutes. This upgrade is designed for the DIY enthusiast. Installation involves removing your factory air box and installing the new intake and heat shield using basic hand tools (screwdrivers and socket wrenches).
Pro Tip: We advise resetting your battery terminal for a few seconds during installation. This allows your ECU to "re-learn" the increased air flow parameters immediately for maximum performance.
