HKS Super Mega Flow Reloaded Intake 2007 Honda Fit - P/N: 70019-BH023

 

i noticed this thread has been visited 66 times with no replies.. haha

i guess no one has this intake and has none info on this intake

 

i was going to reply yesterday but i got busy lol

yeah i don't know anyone with this intake
i heard hks products are iffy though
sometimes they lose horsepower than gain
cuz i know that was the case for some of their exhaust systems
idk i could be wrong even though i am slightly considering the new hks turbo kit

 

^^haha.. good to know.

i decided i'm not gonna touch the engine for now.

maybe next year i'll go turbo and get engine parts then.

not to off topic or anything...

but how many miles max should a L15 engine have to put a turbo in?

i'm talking about healthy wise.. -_-

 

i think if i were to get this intake it would purely be for the name. IMO it is the ugliest filter design ever and look at what the filter element is. its a freaking sponge!!!

 

i was actually looking for the hks mushroom filter on its own so i can stick it to the end of my fujita cos the filter atm is to big so wanted somethin a lil smaller...

 

i dont think the filter is much smaller than many others out there. i actually think it is a little wider... unless you were talking about the length.

 

word of advice if you do go with an HKS sponge filter be weary of the filter and change it as recommended because those sponges do eventually rot out and they will start falling apart and can get sucked in through the throttle body... I used to have the green mushroom filter on my DC2 Turbo......

 

yea im talking about the length, its rite on the back of my fog lite, wearing away at the filter.. gmane, i dont like the sound of this rotting away, y wud hks make such crappy filter.. any recommendation guys for a smaller length filter??

 

They don't make a crappy filter.. but its a sponge and if it isn't maintained it will dry out and begin to dry rot, thats just the nature of the material...

 

I have this filter on my car. On my other honda, it added 5 whp alone by just changing the filter. I don't think there's any reason why you can say this is crappy.

 

post pics PLEASE!

 

That filter alone added 5 whp? got any dyno's? and no one said that the filter was crappy.. all I said was you have to maintain it right or you will get dry rot.. i guess it goes without saying, but i was just stating the obvious.. like if you overboost your car you'll get detonation, doesn't mean the turbo is crappy means that you didn't use it right..

 

i dont think the quality of the product is crappy i think the life of the product is. that spongy material gets over heated and dried out a whole lot quicker than alot of filters.

but on the bright side the reload kits for the spongy stuff doesnt cost that much.

the only thing you might need to worry about more when using that filter on a CAI is hydrolocking your car. im just guessing that the chances are alot more likely when you literally have a sponge as your air filter. i bet that thing is a magnet for moisture.

 

thats true...

 

Nah if your in enough water to hydrolock on the hks then your in enough water to hyrolock on any other standard filter so i wouldn't wouldn't use that to decide.. but like you said.. its not that the filter is crappy but the life span..

 

Oh you don't have to buy the reloaded kit. You can simply buy the sponge alone and change it. I don't think alot of people know that.


and also I don't think I have to prove myself with the dyno's. You can choose to believe me or not. Enjoy

 

I just wanna see the pic of it installed

 

I know this thread is very dead, but this pic might still be useful
