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 won't work with my set-up, I was just wondering what the deal is. I have a Med SMIC, I suppose those wont fit with it there. Thanx guys.:icon_tup:

It might work, I used it with a Pettit Coolcharge II which should be a little smaller than the ASP/M2 Med:

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.

That is the one that I want. That looks so slick. Damn. Racing suction is so expensive, but damn its pretty.

Bingo. I would recommend a better system. Want to see how they filter? Put a dab of grease behind the filter on the intake pipe and check it out after driving it for a couple hundrend miles.

That's what I've heard. You could use the piping and just pick up some K&N filters to replace the HKS filters.

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.

Actually, they filter just fine when people actually "oil" the filters. My intake pipes were very clean when I pulled them off (for the engine rebuild). A un-oiled foam filter will not filter anything.

Herblenny 04-01-06 08:14 AM

Dale,

Thanks for that info. I didn't know that.

sonix7 04-01-06 08:19 AM

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?

Yes. The problem is they don't come pre-oiled. Most people just slap them on the car and start driving because they don't realize foam filters "require" oil to trap particles. I used to get my oil from a motorcycle shop just down the street. It's nasty, sticky stuff. ;)

jimshih 04-01-06 08:35 AM

I am looking for a setup to use with ASP large. It looks like there is enough clearance using the HKS RS??

sonix7 04-01-06 09:45 AM

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.

Svelte_7 04-01-06 02:50 PM

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.
