I found this on ClubRSX and i looked at the site and there is not anymore info on it.
I also went to GruppeM Europe Ltd.
Their links at this site wont work, so i will post the small pics they have. Try to make the best out of them.


I dont know how to get this thing. So if anyone has any ideas, or knows, let us know.

srry you cant get it... forst of all its only for the right hand drive version neither does it work with the k20a3 engine... it costs 800+ $$$$ if ya wanna know so you gotta wait i have a EP3-R and i wanted to buy but i have to wait tillthey have it for left hand drive

 

Never underestimate what some people will pay for a little bling

 

What about water being sucked up by the ramair?

 

good point i guess it doesnt suck in water they msut have thought of something...i was going to buy that intake hehhe

 

I agree that thats a lot of money for what benefit you might get from it, but IMO certain aspects of the design are valid. The junction of the hood and windshield is an area of relatively low-velocity/high-pressure cool air. Unfortunately, they've spoiled the whole thing by putting the opening facing the front of the car. Ducting it to the area at the base of the windshield would have been sufficient.

Case in point, when you go down the road with the HVAC set to "fresh" and the fan is turned off, you get air coming out of the HVAC vents. That air is coming from an opening at the base of the windshield. I have to qualify this by saying though that there are vents located in low pressure areas to the rear of the car that are aiding in extracting that air, so its not only the "ram" effect that allows the air into the car with any force.

Still, I think the concept of the device is valid, but it suffers in execution.

 

I'd like to see this compare to the MUGEN unit, your roughly at the same price point. Both with high quality design and materials. GruppeM was thinking of making one for the left hand drive units later. This intake WON'T fit our EP's though.

Thanks,
Victor

 

yeah i wanna buy it once they have it for my CTR... someone told me that you get 4whp from the mugen onne and the Gruppe m gets 12whp!!!!!!!! but what about water being sucked in ??????

 

I am glad someone noticed that.
