any heat soak? i'm guessing these are similar to the apex'i s short ram intake.

[tony1234]

You'll get heat soak with that filter esp.in summer and bumper to bumper traffic.

Interesting rain shield there.
Got any videos of it yet?

whats heat soak?

[BusterSonic12]

whats heat soak?

sucking in hot air since the engine bay's so hot and there isn't any insulation between the intake n engine bay.

[johnprocter]

would a normal short ram intake like AEM or HPS racing or a K&N podfilter get this problem too?

SRI = yes. since they sit inside the engine bay. however you can get SRI with a box that isolate intake from the engine bay can resolve this problem. Such as the J's Racing carbon intake, Gruppe M carbon intake. They are uses short ram intake like k&n pod filter with a carbon box to separate the intake from engine bay.

im thinking i might wanna change my CAI to SRI and DIY a box, and then have air fed into the box. would this be more effective than a CAI ?

[johnprocter]

thats an interesting idea

[aaronng]

Yes, that is an interesting idea. :)

In this pic there is a black std pipe under the green air filter, they have connected a cold air pipe to it by taking off the air reserve box behind the fog light cover!!!

[aaronng]

Wasn't a DIY install then?

not really DIY because ben at tougetune did it for him.

do you get much heat soak with the HKS intake?

[aaronng]

Very nice of Tougetune to take the time to do it for him. How much was installation, if you don't mind me asking.

Reckon quite a bit.
I want to know as well....

[johnprocter]

[BusterSonic12]

i done my own intake pipe like aaron's for my friend's euro. only costed about $35 and like 1hour to set it all up

[xiang]

And yes that is gaffer tape, used it to hold down the fly screen while the glue was drying..
havnt been bothered to take it off. Ghetto for sure...

fly screen ftw!

[Crapdaz]

fibreglass flyscreen ftw xiang!!!

[typ69r]

howmuch did it set u back ??

[apexi_s15]

the hks intake is $450 bought it from touge tune, i bring the pipe to ben and he charge me $150 to put everythings together!!!
he done a very good job!!!

[xiang]

wow.. 150 for installation.
Would have gone for DIY

[BusterSonic12]

wow shit!! $450 + $150 = $600 o.0

how's the gain on it? just like any other short ram intake? or is it seriously something different? man that's not cheap

[Jaso]

Wow...ripped off LOL >_<

How much of a difference does it make? Isnt that setup illegal/defectable in nsw...doest the pod have to be completely sealed?

[Crapdaz]

HOLY MOLY AGAIN!!!

$450 FOR THE TAKE AND $150 FOR INSTALL.....
could have gone for a cheaper SRI take then install you could have done it easily by yourself and save like $200-250.
But good on you, better to have enclosed due to heatsoak as i found it very inconsistent even though you have force feed piping.

What the difference from stock with that intake in your opinion?

[johnprocter]

sound lol ^_^

[Crapdaz]

sound lol ^_^

cai sound is alot smoother than sri ones though, thats what i've found.
but its a sponge filter not a pod filter do they have a different noise?

[enkay]

lol least they didnt have to cop up an extra 400 for a bit of cf =P

[Crapdaz]

haha, well at least you have the looks with CF.

[aaronng]

lol least they didnt have to cop up an extra 400 for a bit of cf =P
Isn't it $100 for CF and $300 for brand? :p

[Crapdaz]

and the $450 for the parts, in enkays case. =)

[enkay]

Isn't it $100 for CF and $300 for brand? :p

lol actually the normal non-cf intake cost like 790 while cf cost 990
so its 200 for the CF, and 300 for the brand and 500 for the intake.


but in conclusion aaron is right :p

[aaronng]

The intake itself is actually $300. My apexi intake which is similar was only $260 locally purchased.

Imagine if it was gruppeM.
Intake $300
CF $200
Brand $500

LOLOL

[enkay]

haha yer tru aye, hm so with other ones then its 300 for intake and 200 for brandin =P

[aaronng]

That's why the Ghetto™ brand is good. It only costs zero dollars. Has zero desirability though. :p
