AndyZ Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I have just bought a second hand HKS induction kit (with the green filter). I can't work out how to fit it. It doesn't look like it fits properly. Is there more than one type for the TT mkiv supra ? I have a 94 UK TT auto. Do all mkiv's have AFM's ? If anyone has a photo or a link to a photo of an engine bay with this induction kit in it then that would be great Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supRo Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 On mines (Jap TT), the original intake pipe was cut to fit the HKS Pipe. I've taken mines off as they're rubbish for filtering. I've got an Apex-i now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyZ Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well if anyone wants a HKS induction kit for an import TT then you can have my one for £60. Filter has done 2000 miles. I guessed it was something to do with the AFM Thanks for your help anyway Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Here's mine on a NA http://www.toddsonline.me.uk/cars/supra/hkssupra1.jpg Which funnily enough is now sitting in a box on the gargage floor as I put the stock box back on with a Toms air filter!

Chris Wilson Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I have a "good" used HKS foam type stock air filter box fitment element here, 10 quid plus P&P??? Caveat, I don't rate them, but others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Why is everyone ditching thier after market filter systems, in favour of the stock air box????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Because the stock one is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Andy, I have a HKS mega super flow airfilter for a UK spec car if you want it. It was on my car for a few days, and has done less than 30 miles. Let me know if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Sold mine to the owner of another type of car for £80, worse thing I everydid to my car was fitting that stupid thing. But if you really like them, you can pay a small fortune to buy a CF box to put it in to shield it from the engine heat and induct some nice cold air. Or you can stay stock and save a few hundred to spend on something useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael parker Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Here's mine on a NA http://www.toddsonline.me.uk/cars/supra/hkssupra1.jpg Which funnily enough is now sitting in a box on the gargage floor as I put the stock box back on with a Toms air filter! I have a HKS Superflow, which was on it when i bought it, the same 1 as above.... though reading some of the comments on it it doesn't seem to be too favourable????? i know it sounds great when you let off the accelarator... hisssssssssssss!!!!!!! whats the bobby more on the standard one over the superflow??????

JohnA Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Retaining the two stock airducts doesn't do much good, because there's nothing to stop the filter drawing air *around* them, which is much easier. And that air is bound to be warmer than ambient. The filtering capability and capacity are also WAY below that of the stock setup. By a long shot. The size of particles (in Microns) that get through non-paper filters is out of this world (in engineering terms) They do not dilute or burn, just act as abrasives for the compressors, intake valves, piston rings, exhaust valves and turbines. Doing a leakdown test every few thousand miles you can see the decay and weep. (a leakdown tester isn't that expensive to buy, you can even make your own out of an old compression tester and some other bits, I show on my website, total cost around a tenner, lol...) Even the best in filtering, the Apexi paper filter for example, has far less 'active' surface than the stock filter, almost one fifth! I'm not kidding.
