Hks Rs Induction Kit

[AltezzaNZ]

I fitted an HKS RS Induction kit yesterday, will have the reset the computer (was planning to anyway) but the car is running like crap now... almost like it wont engage the VVTi, so hopefully a ECU reset will fix the problem...

The kit makes the induction noise really loud, and makes the 3000-4000rpm sound really bad (does everyone get a funny sound between 3000-4000rpm or is this just my one?)

Other thing is the outside temp displayed on the dash seems to be hotter than normal, im pretty sure its not 20 degress here at 8:30 in the morning.... Anyone know where this sensor it?

Anyway, thanks to Muzza for his help in providing the pictures of a completed Induction installation.

I've got an Apexi filter, between 3000 - 4000 is probably where the main power occurs before change over, if your foot is fully down it doesn't sound as bad, but under limited acceleration mine also makes a nasty noise but then sounds better when duel Vvti kicks in.

Also I wouldn't expect it to act much differen after putting on the filter e.g the car shouldn't react in a negative way, I'm pretty sure I have never reset the computer, on most cars the computer will slowly change after driving it for a while, but if you are having probelms then it could be a good option.

I would check the sensor again because if it isnt installed properly or at all, it will make the motor run crappy....

So do you have the air sensor conected to the filter?

Yeah man the HKS really roar's went ya stick your foot down. It's loud enough to turn head's.

I agree Muzza, quite happy with the noise I've got out of my custom intake-Matt lai reckons it sounds like a baby ferrari Monza!!

Maybe u didnt install it properly like me :(

I think I had the air temp sensor wrong

Gav knows more

mine was running lean and the car wasnt acclerating properly

only 1st gear was allright all others was just forward stop forward stop accleration .

Yeh thats pretty much the same as what i got happening...

I have reset the ECU, drove around for 30 odd minutes and now she is running sweet..

The black one? yup....

especially when it was running sweet before ya started playing with it!!

Cool dude does it feel a bit more peppy :)

Yep... but so it should for the amount of noise it makes ;)

I just installed my SARD unduction kit, sounds sweeet! Everything seems fine, and I feel its a bit quicker too, but something wierd just happened.

I was behind a WRX, flooring it, (and the gap didnt increase as quick as I thought it would!!) but then when I let off the accelrator, the revs when up, all the way to redline, until I let the clutch out!! I dunno what was going on, I thought maybe the carpet, was stuck on the accelerator.

Got a photo of the kit installed AltezzaNZ?

hopefully it was nothing then man but if it was, you could be in for a new clutch or just possibly something to do with the air flow sensor again, which again might be a possibility.

let us know if you have any more probelms.

This is the little plug thing right? Hmm, might be, Mine was a bit bodgy, just punched a hole on the rubber bend, and stuck it in, its not air tight, but its tight. Also, the breather tube, is not in either.

Yeah its just a little black plug thingy, it probably should be air tight but I spose it depends on how it is attached to the pipe, or yes the breather tube may be the cause.

If you are having continued trouble and arn't to sure, I guess the simplest thing to do is put the old filter back in , conect up and see if the problem is cured, but thats a pain in the arse..........so I would check the air flow sensor again and...............

just had a thought, on mine the breather tube was tied up eg bend it over and tie it so it is blocked off as there is no place to stick it on most filter kits.. If lucky this might help.

cheers...
