Induction Kits

[clutdav]

Hi guys and gals,

I was hoping to get some advice from you guys regarding induction kits for my STi Version 9. Does anyone have a HKS Racing Suction Induction kit on their scooby? I am assuming that the HKS induction kit will be good quality and also give some good gains as well - but I was hoping to find out if anyone has any opinions on it! If anyone has other induction kits on and recon I should give them a look please let me know. Thanks and any input would be welcomed.

Try and get one that is mounted in the inner wing like an APS one..

That way you don't get the engine heat issue..

Hope that helps as thats the one i've got..

i have an hks system, but i have taken it off just now due to the induction temp, i am going to be building a box for it so i will let you know how i get on with any reduction in the temp

oh the sound off them is good

Is there a significant increase in induction temperature with using the hks system? And if so is it a big problem? Thanks for the help so far guys it's appreciated.

Ive just got an apexi power intake off ebay, not fitted yet but 2 of my friends have them fitted to a celica gt4 and a 200sx, no probs with them and apparently the apexi has been tested on a supra and was better than the hks. At 25quid u cant grumble.

If I remember correct if its the short induction kit it leaves the mushroom filter inside the engine bay with the standard air feed. But you have to understand that it only keeps the induction temperature down when your flowing air into the filter and the engine bay (aka driving). The normal induction box heat sheilds a normal filter from the engine bay air, so no box equals bay and air feeding into the filter. Sit still or drive slow and the temperature in the engine bay goes way up. So it takes the air from the engine bay which causes the induction temperature to rise causing less performance.

As most knows cold air is denser than warm air.

A inner wing induction kit the way to go unless you box the filter in the engine bay, K&N and APS are 2 companies that make these kits. APS are rated very well and there kit is about £170+pnp

Hope this helps

Thanks for that mate. I had a K&N Typhoon induction kit on my Civic Type R and loved it to bits. I was just trying to suss out the HKS as I fancied a change. By the sounds of things I would be better to stay with the K&N. Thanks for the help everyone.

I have the APS kit on mine and its good, the only thing(not sure if the new STI's are the same) i had to get a remap as the amount of air coming through was messing up the maf and the car was horrible to drive, Andy F told me not to use boost with this kit until it was mapped as its an engine killer

P1 Sub, also heard something along those lines. Its so good that it pulls to much air in.

But its a kick ass kit.

would advise aps one mate, had mine for a few months now and works really well, fits nicely into the inner arch and quality is first class.
