Anyone have the RKSport ramair airbox??

[Lithium Lotus]

I found this on the Solstice forum. Does anyone have the RKSport ramair airbox on their Sky/RL?

I find it as the perfect alternative to the tube/cone filter CAI, and looks stock since you're using the stock top part of the airbox. For anyone that does have this, does it throw codes like the other cai's?

I not sure i would use that over a CAI even tho the CAI is still sucking in engine heated air. I want to see someone come up with a nice design for the CAI that blocks the engine heated air.

Also kinda sucks the car has been out since what 2006 ? which was prob acutally in 2005 and yet there is only 1 Distributor for ground effects and hoods least that i can find. Kinda sad

I would get a CAI if I knew it wouldn't throw an engine code. Blasted GM making the ecu more complicated then it probably should have been. I mean, do we really need 4 sensors on the intake pipes alone?

You make it sound like every intake thats in the engine compartment is sucking in 200F degree air, but its not.
I've monitored the intake air temps with a stock airbox and a dejon intake and the temps are roughly 5-20 degrees above ambient. A couple degree hotter air is not going to make a difference on redline/gxp's because the intercooler is cooling it down. Money is better spent on a bigger intercooler then a cold air intake on a turbocharged car.

We have done several cold air intakes where the engine heat is completely blocked out of the intake system.

Very nice system Eloy.

Our CAI/ Ram air box is intended for N/A Sky's and Solsti.

Eloy, is this available to purchase?

I don't know if anyone has tried this or not but it is a very expensive way to go unless you really like the hood and plan on getting that anyway. I don't think it would yield you much more than any of the other intakes. I would go with Eloy's system. I believe it's under $200 but you have to send him your parts in your not in his local area.

And from what I've heard some people have gotten the hood and it needed a lot of work to get the waves out and then the fit wasn't great. I'd recommend doing some research on here to get more information before purchasing the hood. Just a thought.

I've had the Fujita dual filter CAI for a few months now, and used a hole saw on the lower front grill pieces next to the driving lights to route some outside air directly to the Fujita filters via aluminum flex hose. Also drilled a hole in almost every honeycomb on the grills, and haven't thrown a code yet. Maybe I've just been lucky...

CAI throwing codes? had mine for close to ayear now not one code. If you have a Cai thats triggering errors then it's not installed properly. I have only heard of maybe one or two people having problems like that and it usually turns out that the tubing is not sealed properly. you can't have any leaks between the air sensor and the throttle body or it will pull unmeasured air in and cause the car to run lean.
It's not like lauching an Apollo mission.
People around here listen to too many damn rumors

The 2.4 doesn't have issues with throwing codes, it's the 2.0 LNF that likes to throw codes.

I really like what Eloy is doing with the intake, too bad he's on the left side of the country and I'm on the right....
