Hi Guys,

im new here so im needing a little advice,looking at buying the HKS RSK as it seems to be the best you can buy for the fn2 as far as price and gains go, but i have seen the kit installed on other cars mazda's etc... and i have noticed that the kits are normally facing the front or situated where they get airflow, yet with the FN2 it sits facing the back of the engine?

can anyone explain how this can possibly work?

cheers

It works as even though its not getting a direct cold air feed it can take more air in due to the big filter on it and therefore can help produce more power.

Loxy has ran a cold air feed to his and installed a heat shield made by tdi to try and keep the temperatures down

yeah i can see the filter will be able to suck in more air but how will it actually suck in more air if none is getting to it? i think loxy has the right idea defo need to somehow increase the airflow that gets to it in order to optomise

Air will always get into the engine bay so it will always be able to get air in but it might not be the coldest it can be

You get a cold air feed from the original pipework from the stock filter which points to the filter

You will get very little from that if any tbh. It draws air in from the wing and then goes through a resonator box so unless there is something sealed to the end of it creating suction I doubt you will get anything from it

Ok so what induction kit would you guys recommend ? I want good noise and power gain

 

[DPG87]

Best combination of the two IMO is Gruppe M mate

HKS performs well on the dyno with the hood up but on the road gains are better from the closed boxes however you get far less noise from them maybe HKS/heat shield and better cold air feed (scoop from front fog) would be a good combination

Yeah gruppe m is a shout but I've heard they're a nightmare to fit cos u have to customise the feed from the bonnet and 9/10 u damage the paint work doing so,if that's true then i ain't interested I want hassle free like everyone haha, I want a beasting noise and slight gain on the road and for it to look the **** ,(damn mugen for they're stupidly priced air box or it'd be mine )

 

[cf136322]

Hks rsk....defo

 

[Kaney*Mugen]

Am thinking yes to that fella !

LOL! Who told you that? I ran with the Gruppe M for ages, good bit f kit, only thing you need to do is remove the sound deadening from under the bonnet and the weather strip at the front of the bonnet and that's it mate

Get the tegiwa intake if your really wanting the Mugen same thing, 1/3 of the price if your ever thru in Glasgow mate give me a shout and you can see my set up

 

[Kaney*Mugen]

Well what's the gruppe m upsides? Not read that much into them, aye ok mate if I'm through Glasgow on Al try get in touch with u to see the kit you've installed,

Right so tegiwa,hks rsk ,or gruppe m

I'm gonna do process of elimination in these,

Price?

Gains?

Bad points?

This will be as good as any of the ones mentioned above all for about £30

Ok so I had a look at a gd few of them liking the carbon tegiwa kit and still hks rsk,

Anyone know of approx bhp gains of hks rsk? Before and after flash pro

Muchos gracias

 

[DPG87]

Go for Tegiwa mate, better gains than the hks, bit more expensive but worth it, for gains that's where it's at

Why would one of these give any better gains than the custom mod in the link?

 

[Kaney*Mugen]

No sure fella ,I checked the link that u sent which was defo worth a look but a mean the guys had to move his horn and all sorts to do that I want hassle free or as close to it as possible the amount of money I'd save on that kit I'd prob end up having to pay someone to fix my car after I'd dismantled it to bits and a don't want that ,simple old kit out new kit in boom!....
