A cold air intake system relocates the filter outside of the engine compartment to deliver cool air inlet temperatures. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. But that’s only part of the power equation. Tuning the inlet pipe in length and diameter to match the engine’s resonance helps move more air to the cylinders (think of your engine as a big air pump), and this tuning allows us to deliver large power gains. We also monitor fuel trim correction factors and all OBDII sensors during R&D to eliminate leaning the engine out and/or throwing a check engine light.

Every AEM cold air induction system features high standards of construction and we are so confident in their fit and performance that we guarantee them for the life of your vehicle. All AEM cold air systems include a lifetime DRYFLOW synthetic air filter and come with a limited lifetime warranty.

The Black Halo Racing RX8 Fuel Pump Upgrade is the solution to the RX8′s starvation-prone factory fuel pump.  BHR provides a brand new Mazda fuel pump housing assembly with a Walbro performance fuel pump motor, completely pre-assembled for the easiest and most convenient installation, with no need to return the old housing to us.

For detailed failure and modification information please refer to our Fuel Pump technical article.

We have not yet verified fitment of this product on the “S2″ units of the RX-8.

Black Halo Racing is the ONLY place where the BHR Ignition System is available in the United States.  Any retailer claiming to be offering this kit is doing so using deceptive, misleading, and false claims and their kits are likely to be ill fitting, poorly constructed, and using inferior materials.    

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED DIRECTLY THROUGH CHARLES@BLACKHALORACING.COM 

It it widely known that the ignition coils on the Mazda RX-8 are weak and suffer from reliability issues, even on unmodified engines, as early as 30,000 miles and weak ignition coils often result in poor catalytic converter performance or, worse, destruction of the cat.  When forced induction, nitrous or any kind of track racing occurs you need to have an ignition system that is reliable with higher electrical output.

The Black Halo Racing Ignition System addresses these concerns in a very simple manner.  Our patent-pending coil conversion harness allows a true “plug-and-play” installation that doesn’t require you to cut, splice or otherwise alter any wiring in your RX8.  The GM ignition coils we use emit more current and voltage than the Mazda ignition coils while providing much longer life over the stock system.  The GM coils are used in many racing applications and rival any coil in the aftermarket.

This kit is a must have for any RX8 owner and requires no tuning or other modifications to function properly.

The kit contains a baseplate, coil brackets, GM coils, a patent-pending plug-and-play conversion harness, and custom-built MSD spark plug wires, all pre-assembled for easy installation.  It also includes a 1-year warranty on all parts, materials, and workmanship.

Typical benefits reported by those whom have purchased this kit are quicker throttle response, more midrange torque, smoother engine sound/operation above 7,000 RPMs, and no more misfires.  All this applies to power-adder (nitrous or F/I) applications, as well.

Spark Plugs optional and discounted when ordered with kit.

All BHR Ignition Kits are built-to-order. Please allow up to 3 weeks from purchase for shipment (assuming no delays in component procurement).  International orders, add 6-10 days for delivery and please contact Charles@BlackHaloRacing.com directly to place your international order.  We will send you the tracking information when your kit ships out to you.

Whether you’re into showing your car or simply looking for something flashy under the hood, the BHR Intake Shroud is our latest product to dress up your engine!

This unit will eliminate the stock airbox under tray in aftermarket cold air intake and turbo applications.  This Intake Shroud will fit with any intake that fits within the area of the factory airbox.  It utilizes the factory rubber mounts (4) for a stock bolt pattern.

The lid has a 3/8″ Polycarbonate Plastic insert in the Rotor shape cutout engraved with the Black Halo Racing logo.

This insert will also be fit with 4 LED’s, Red, Blue, Green, White. Your choice of color.

The Intake Shroud includes the bottom panel, side panels and a top cover as well as all mounting hardware.  The back is open on the engine side.  The Intake Shroud is available in a variety of colors and prices.

For custom options please contact us for pricing and availability.

It’s a known fact that rotary engines run hot.  This means that the RX8′s cooling system is one of the most important parts of the vehicle.  As such, BHR has examined the shortcomings of the stock radiator and worked with Griffin to produce a radiator that can handle the cooling demands of the RENESIS engine.

The BHR radiator utilizes a core design which results in an increased airflow through the radiator and allows quicker reduction of cooling temperatures.  We have taken extra steps to ensure perfect fitment and ease of installation as well as compatibility with popular forced-induction kits.

The core size and design has been used in LS-powered applications with as much as 700 h.p.

If you live in a hot climate, run any kind of boosted application or use your RX8 on the race track then this radiator will be the key element in making sure your cooling system stays cool in any situation!

BHR is also the only company offering a performance radiator for the automatic transmission which includes a larger transmission oil cooler than the OEM offering.

Please allow up to 3 weeks for delivery.

Magnecor’s Ignition Cables feature Magnecor’s exclusive 2.5mm high capacity Metallic Inductance EMI Suppressed conductor consisting of stainless steel wire precisely wound at 200 turns per inch over a ferrimagnetic core. The insulating jacket is made entirely of Magnecor’s exclusive TC-1500-HS high strength aerospace grade silicone rubber, and its single layer construction will prolong the jacket’s insulating ability by conducting extreme heat away from hot-spots that occur near over-the-limit heat sources.
The KV85 8.5mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 600 degrees F (320 degrees C) and up to 1,000 degrees F (540 degrees C) for short burst 3 minutes. The R-100 10mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 700 degrees F (380 degrees C) and up to 1,200 degrees F (650 degrees C) for short burst 3 minutes. Even if limits are exceeded, the silicone rubber will retain its insulating ability until wires are removed from engine.
Magnecor Race Wires are primarily designed and constructed to be used in applications where it is essential to prevent the possibility of ignition wires compromising engine performance. Modern race engines, modified street engines and stock street engines which rely on electronic devices to control the function of either or both the ignition and fuel systems are prone to interference from all other spiral conductor ignition wires sold through performance parts outlets, none of which can provide proper suppression for EMI, particularly if a high-output ignition system is used.
