The development progress of the new project "SE-07S" is also at the final stage.This time, we would like to introduce one of the highlights, an improved version of the Ram Air Intake System.
The classic long-selling intake system tuning, commonly known as "Ram Air", has been redesigned to achieve even higher efficiency.

The first point is the reconsideration of the mass-produced variable intake system "Variable Fresh Air Duct (VFAD)" installed in front of the cleaner box.Conventional ram air had a structure that made use of this duct as shown in the left figure.
In the improved version, the VFAD is removed and the intake duct is newly designed to take in air more actively.While following the basic layout, the area of ​​the introduction part is expanded by always inhaling from two directions.Fresh air guideThe ducts, which are visible through the bumper opening, are structured to receive fresh air from the front.

The second is a newly designed air filter.The top plate of the old specification has been abolished, and a cone-shaped filter has been added to expand the filter area by about 2%.Introduces air straight without disturbing the air flow.In addition, by using a highly flexible resin for the seat surface, packing is no longer necessary and maintainability is improved.

As mentioned above, in addition to functionality, we will also add an accent to the design...⁈
In addition, we are planning an upgrade kit for RX-8 users who have installed conventional products.
Please wait for a while until the official announcement.
