dublin lad Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i bought a hks induction kit for my 5 speed n.a from a forum member. my problem is while trying to fit it i can across two problems. 1. the airsensor on the standard box,where does this need to go an the hks induction one. 2. the induction kit does not fit into the plastic pipe,even though the hks kit came off a j-spec tt. any ideas/help would be helpful cheers guys/girls. darren.

Homer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The NA and TT intake systems are not interchangeable, you need to buy one for an NA otherwise it won't fit (as you've found) Sorry mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Now you've descovered its the wrong one just get rid of it and replace the pannel filter in the stock airbox. HKS mushroom filters are bad. I'd use the term "filter" loosely, Its also going to be sucking in hot air for the engine bay rather than having freshly ducted air from outside like the stock system does.

MarkR Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The HKS filters aren't great and have been proven to be just about the worst aftermarket filter going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Pop it on ebay and learn from mistakes. I've made a few and I'm sure we're not the only ones... Good luck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, stick to stock, it'll save you money and HP (in the long run ). Trying to modifying NA's for performance is a fruitless task.. could you really notice 1bhp extra on 220?

Rob Dublin Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Should add this to the FAQ along with the red button on autos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Should add this to the FAQ along with the red button on autos. That's a good point, the "do not bother trying to modfy NA's" doesn't have an FAQ AKAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep it stock and when you're ready get a 2JZ-GTE in there (or something else a little different ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin lad Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) to be honest when i bought the car i was thrilled. then i had a wee scare in it and i am now sure it was totally my fault. but i really love the car. its very different than anything i have owned before. i thought i might have to sell it because of job loss. but not now. i love the car and its a pleasure to drive. its totally standard also. now i guess i will just keep it that way. and who knows a few years later i might go tt or single. but for now its just fine for me.
