HKS intake??
Does anyone have any pictures of this install. And maybe some info on this such as dynos, sound clips or video. I could not find anything! I really like this intake regardless of its price. Thanks guys.
Well I got one and installed it read here: http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...ks-intake.html |
|
Thanks!! I have seen this pic before. I guess this intake is not that popular. I have searched hi and low, no dynos of other pictures of installs or youtube vids. Hope to see more of this intake in the future when more people buy the 370!

It isn't too common an intake because the G3s seem to be the best ones out there and are like $300-$400 cheaper than these. They don't seem any different than a lot of the SRI we've seen which haven't shown substantial gains.
|
HKS is like your car is wearing over priced clothing like gucci, parada or armani. The HKS does the same job as intakes 3-400 cheaper. I am one of those picky people, and I am possibly wanting to dress my 370 in HKS parts.

My friend had those on his G37, took them off a few weeks later.. him and a stock G from the same year put down the same number on the same dyno on a dyno day :bowrofl:
|
I know someone that has them on the Z, picked up something like 5hp. AKA pointless.

Does look pretty though, even if it supposedly does nothing...
|
not worth the 600+ dollar price tag...unless you got mula to burn...
|
Does anyone know what kind of material it is made of?? The Injen intake I had on my old rsx type s faded to a dull looking color and I could not polish it. Does anyone know about this issue and if this intake may be prone to this?

pretty sure there is no coating on the stillen G3... |
do you happen to know what kind of chem to remove? I think I will call HKS usa and get more details on this intake, I high end company like this with no dynos of any sort and total lack of rich information. This is rediculous.

JK! Anyway, if you can't find these numbers,what does that tell you? Search online for Stillen Gen3 and you get hundreds of links to performance info...:ugh2: |
Haha it's ture though why else would this intake cost so much??? Its name brand like what my first statment said. You would think if your spending 5x more for a part it would at least put down some decent numbers. I thought HKS is supposed to be a bad *** company??? I guess just not in the intake side of things. If you have a better Analogy for HKS let me know. : ) Im sticking to my expensive clothing analogy.

Just placed an order for this intake so as soon as I get it I will post pictures for all to see. Does anyone know how much a dyno run cost in Texas??
|
Where in Texas?
Dyno dynamics in Houston I used was 85USD for three runs (so add 8.25% for tax). |
Thats not a bad price. Should I wait untill 1500 miles before I do the dyno??
|
All depends if you care about "break in" procedure. I gradually took my car above in the RPMs as I got closer to 1,500 miles, was on the dyno around 2,000 the first time I think.

Yes I pan on it if I can find a place to do a run for under 100. Even if I dont get that much power out of this set up I wont be that mad, I plan on selling them later on after 30,000 miles and adding turbo or supercharger. I am thinking of getting a vented hood so I can try to get a little bit of cold air to them. Does anyone think this is a good idea. Also found a place to buy a HKS ex. for 1780 plus tax. in the h-town but I want to do a dyno before I add the intake.

My question I had with the vent hood cooling is: What about rain?? Because it will be a daily driver untill about 30,000 or so!
|
Light rain will be nothing, but the heavy rain Texas can get during certain parts of the year will be bothersome. Do you have a second car for on heavy raining days?
|
No I dont but I drive from garage to work which is on the 9th floor parking so yes totally covered as well. Just worried about to and from work thats it(about 2 hours of driving, 1 hour there 1 back)! Also I think it might make alot easier to steal. Sorry for spelling on Iphone.
|
I normally would not recommend a vented hood on a DD, maybe one you are closer to turning into your weekend toy at 30,000 miles.
