blitz supra Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i have a hks induction kit im looking for a standard box to put back on anyone selling standard or want to swap for hks Why you putting standard back on ? Are you NA or TT ? NA is much better with an Induction kit... providing you have a heatsheild and cold Air feed, Any NA owner will tell you of the transformation with a Induction kit on. But each to their own.. TT you may poss have heat soak issues, but a good sheild should help matters, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affney Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 got a N/A and i havnt got a heat shield or cold feed just thaught the standard with k&n filter would work better but i wasnt sure just wanted to give it a go if the hks is better then i will stick with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 yeah but i took the hks off my n/a and looked in the inlet pipes. there was less shite on the underside of the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(heat soak ) NA big gains !! PM me and i'll send you pics of my set up I can't seem to put pics on here as too big and can't reduce their size It cost bugger all to Bit of Alloy plate 1x Flexi hose 2x house gutter pipe couplers (makes the end of the pipes look pretty ) Out of interest though, I'm thinking of changing my HKS mushroom filter as apparantley the filteration is really bad , Looking for a nice cone filter , Turbo fit are also going to make me a nice Polished pipe to replace that nasty rubber pipe between the HKS kit and the throttle housing Custom job that will still allow all the vac pipes to be connected as they are now into the pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

affney Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 cool looks good do you reckon you could drill through the plate at the bottom and have the cold air feed come from under the indicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i have a fmic on order so when the smic is out the way a 4 inch hole saw is going through the panel under the filter along with a bit of ducting from the bumper:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wobblybox Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Any chance of a "i'm a tit make it really basic" info on HKS induction kit? what sort of gains would i expect? Cost? Does it make the fuel situ any worse? etc etc havent searched yet just seen this post. Pics would be good if anyone could oblige. I take it the induction kit works best on a de-cat? Have a N/A which is quick and revs nice but feels like somethings strangling it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Think about it: the airbox is the same in both n/a and TT versions. So if it is OK for the airflow of the BPU TT (typically double that of a n/a), could it really be inadequate for the n/a? Do some timed acceleration tests with stock airbox vs 'performance' filter, and see for yourself that there is no measurable difference. (best use an accelerometer to avoid reaction-speed errors) It's all in the mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well mine runs better with the HKS kit More mpg Better throttle response better mid range Have run it with both on and the hks clearly is better "on my Supe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 How big are those gains, out of interest? -Ian I have much better throttle response , better pick up in general and better mpg Have had both on my NA and the HKS is much better on my Supe with the heat sheild and cold air feed fitted A TT may not be so good as heat soak probs.. well that is the general opinion written here by the TT guys But on my NA there are noticeable gains over stock box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
