Hi all,

Just installed my HKS Racing Suction intake kit the other day and am once again very happy with the results.

The intake noise reverberating around the stainless steel airbox sounds f***ing awesome!

Thought I would just share a few pics with you.

 

wow... thats awesome....
whats your "buttdyno" improvement from that? :D

 

Butt dyno is registering a loss down low for a gain up high.

The engine does not feel as though it revs as freely in the low rpm range, but above 6k, all hell breaks loose.......

 

Neat but i am a sucker for yellow

Pity about the loss of power down low can anything be done to rectify it ?

cheers

I'm not actually sure the engine loses power down low since it does feel "torquier".

It just feels as though the engine is slower in building up the revs from low.

 

Well, I gotta say it looks the part . Don't know if I could live with the racket though...

What was the damage to your skyrocket, if you don't mind me asking?

 

I'm guessing you're asking how much it was?

$1000 if that was what you're asking Gomez.

 

Yeah, you got it in one. Look's well engineered, and that does cost, so I can see where the money went......

Gomez.

 

holy crap ! you paid $1,000 for like 2 HP

 

looks great, i bet it sounds great too, but damn, $1,000 is a lot of cash for... oh, wait, I spent more than that on a wing. heh.

 

wow..looks neat with that aluminium cover, where do u bought it from? thx...any sound clip?

 

Just want to clarify that I am in Australia and that's $1000 AUD not USD.
Still bloody expensive though in any currency.

 

I purchased it through the Sydney distributor for HKS, BD4s at Gladesville.
Sorry, I don't have anything to record a sound clip.

 

Damn. That is like $43.07 in USD! :D

You paid way too much for way too little.
You could get the K&N for a better system and have a metal shop build the top half of the box for you. Then you would still have another $300 USD burning a hole in your pocket.
Pity.

 

How is the K&N a better system?

I paid too much?
Guess I paid too much for my catback system as well, hell, I think I paid too much for the car to start with ($65k+).

 

lol..hks air suction is better than k&n intake...

 

well that price is standard for HKS air suction...well Hks has its name and its good for performance...

 

How, exactly, is it better?

They are the EXACT same thing - a foot or so of 3.5" polished aluminum pipe and an air filter.
That is it.
Neither produces ANY power. Period.
The OEM intake is the best engineered system in the world.
Try hooking up a pressure/vacuum gauge to the intake ahead of the MAF on the stock system and measure the vaccum.
There isn't any.
The main advantage to the HKS is the pretty box they mount it in.
$500 is a lot to pay for an aluminum box.

 

where is Racing Beat's intake !!!!!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!

 

your cybershot must have a voice recording function
even better.... record a short movie with sound

 

Oh yeah, but how do I post it on here?

 

........along with the pretty box, I also get a high quality Japanese item from the house of HKS. :D

 

What a gift wrapped Geisha . now i know why you payed the $1000

cheers
michael

 

come by one day on your day off, we will go for a drive and take a moving shot with my cybershot, i can download it and host it on my server :D

 

you have no idea what you are talking about... you seem a bit bitter...the intake made modest power gains with dyno sheets to back it up... where are you getting your information from?? There are other people in this world that actually would pay money for a higher quality product... I agree that the oem intake is prefectly fine..but the "best engineered system in the world"?? hmmm seems more like an opinion to me...before you go and make bogus statements like that, atleast make it sound like you know what your talking about...
