What is the deal with this intake. HKS?
I was wondering about this version of the HKS intake for the FD. IS it the racing suction or the power flow. The pics I have of each don't match. This looks like a racing suction with green filters and non polished pipes. What do you guys think? Does this connect to the pipe via coupler or to the stock hoses. WTF, I am super confused what this is.:dunno:

It might work, I used it with a Pettit Coolcharge II which should be a little smaller than the ASP/M2 Med: http://mahjik.homestead.com/files/FD...8/MVC-005F.JPG http://mahjik.homestead.com/files/FD...8/MVC-006F.JPG Not really worth the hassle to wrangle it in there if you have a larger SMIC. If you have a small/medium SMIC, it should fit in there fine. |
This is the HKS RS kit,should be able to use it with the med smic.HKS
use this kit to go with their V mount i/c kit which is probably the biggest i/c that sits inside the engine bay. [IMG]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...d/DSCN0654.jpg[/IMG] |

Couple of weeks ago, I met a guy in TN with these pipings and couple of K&N filters. I didn't know at the time who made it, but now I see that its HKS pipings. I think with small KN filters like ones Pettit uses on their intake kit, it might work with Med SMIC. |

I'm planning on getting the HKS RS setup and going K&N filters on it. The piping is GORGEOUS on that intake. Best thing is the primary pipe actually bolts to the turbo and replaces the stock plastic intake elbow - much better flow to the primary turbo.
Attached are some pics of the pipes by themselves. Dale |

Dale,
Thanks for that info. I didn't know that. |
I was just going to say that Kyle, why not oil them more. Dale- Your so right man, those are easily the nicest intake pipes out there. I am wanting the RS more and more. Its like $500. I have a poor mans intake that actually works very well, I just think the quality of the filters is not going to last. :scratch: :question: BTW anyone know where to get replacement filters for the HKS, I have seen different colors, but I don't remember where I saw them at?

I am looking for a setup to use with ASP large. It looks like there is enough clearance using the HKS RS??
|
I found the filter replacements, I had no idea they had so many different colors. Wow!! Now I really want the RS intake.

Does it matter which K&N filters you use as long as they fit? I have the HKS Filters still on my Super Megaflow system and I never thought about using the K&Ns.
|
I've been running the HKS system for years and haven't experienced any problems. HKS reccomends you change the filter every 3-5k kilometers so I tend to replace them everytime I change my oil. I don't know what the interval is between cleaning/re-oil for the K&N filters but it's probably cheaper than replacing the filters.
