geoffvalenti Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Personally I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. The stock air box flows more than enough air for all but the highest HP demands. It'll sound good, but you'll get little or no extra power and you *could* cause premature wear to the engine. For £35 I'd cut my losses and stick it back on eBay All IMHO of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 The ones that are available from reputable companies with decent R&D budgets are bad enough, I wouldn't fit that one to my 1.3 Fiesta never mind a Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard all the normal horror stories about engines getting full of crap I certianly wouldn't use it. It's not an original HKS cause it's intended for non-sports cars, like fiestas! He can't even decide if it's a Blitz sytle filter (according to the title) or a HKS style filter (throughout the page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 For what is is worth I have seen one of these and compared the filter material to an old HKS mushroom. The HKS was made of a much more open foam which was vertually see through. The Blue foam of other unit was much firmer. With a good oiling I would think the cheap unit would give better filtration than the HKS- JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
