I’m not sure if HKS mushrooms were part of the test, but I read a study where, among K&N and AEM as well as many other long time contemporaries in the aftermarket filtration market, AEM’s DryFlow cones actually restricted the most airflow in the aftermarket category, being decently close to OEM. That translates to a lot of filtration. I don’t recall the paper’s name but I did research on the filtration efficacy of K&N and AEM specifically and came across interesting data.

@Meekmillan

Жыл бұрын

It’s not a research paper but I know Project farm did a video on some air filters (just fillers, not intakes) and the results were exactly what you’d expect. K&N performance filters were less restrictive so they let more particles into the engine. OEM style filters were more restrictive, allowed less particles into the engine. Honestly I could care less about 2-5 HP/TQ when it comes to “performance filters” Cold air intakes are a different story though lol

@halomaster985

Жыл бұрын

@@Meekmillan Mighty Car Mods did a video on that. Cold air intake only gained about 2%, which is only slightly outside of a margin for error anyway. Ram air systems make the most power, hot or cold.

I remember strapping the Edelbrock Pro-Flo on cars years ago which is essentially the same system but mildly triangular. HKS drops the same thing but fully round and marketed to JDM and it’s an original thought. It’s a fine dry filter design, but any properly sized filter will feed any engine enough air; it’s not a part that really realizes any power gain by piddling over the type of filter used; the only difference once the filter is passing the required CFM will be actual particulate filtration. Choose a properly CFM rated filter with the best particulate rating you can fit in the space available, and place it with access to clean, cool air. Job done.

@Brandon S Paper filters are definitely superior for filtering, but it's not always applicable to every situation. Sometimes, you only have so much room for a filter, and you are moving way too much air for the appropriately sized paper filter.

i absolutely adore mushroom filters, they look kinda retro.

For anyone wondering, the name is an HKS Super Power Flow. The kits really aren’t $1000, at least not until you get into the more complicated things. A filter and a regular kit doesn’t go for a whole whole lot. For instance, one for my Acura RSX goes for ~$200 (with piping).

I have an HKS intake. You're right. You either love them or not.

These are meant for track use only, they barely filter anything even when the filter is changed frequently. Also even without oiling they disintegrate and get sucked into the engine.

Reminds me of the $7 sheet of foam i cut up and use for my 2 stroke bike…

The VX Honeycomb From Pixel Car Racer In real life:

Thanks for the explanation Alex 👍🏾

I own this in Pixel Car Racer and i call these a honeycomb intake

Back in my college pizza boy days I put an eBay knock off one (pretty sure it was even in an "HKS" box) on my '85 MR2. One rainy day I was pulling into work, saw smoke in my rearview and quickly realized that *I* was what was smoking. Popped the hood and my engine was on fire! I ran across a busy street like Frogger, threw open the door and screamed "MY CAR'S ON FIRE!". Ran outside and drowned it in a fire extinguisher while the fire department was on their way. It shut down Main St for about an hour and I had to leave work so I could get my car towed home. After closer inspection I saw that the filter was what had started, or at least spread, the fire. Apparently either the metal screen had arced against the battery that was right above it, or the open vents in the hood had let in water and caused something to spark (a few years later those same vents let water into my alternator and cooked it, thanks, Toyota). Luckily nothing was badly damaged so after a few cuss words and a new air filter, the MR2 lived to see another couple thousand redlines and another couple dozen breakdowns. I sold it five years later to someone else who absolutely ruined it; wrecked it within a few days, spray painted it pink, and last year after over 35 years and 200,000+ miles of getting driven like a rented race car, it blew a head gasket. Man, I miss that car.

Looks like a super fancy version of a air filter on a 6x6 deuce and a half

Sounded great on my sr20 d21

“Only $150 bucks” 😅😂😂😂 Im good bruh I’ll stick with the other oiled options 😂

My '92 RX7 had two of those when i bought it (twin turbo). Can definitely confirm that the stupid foam deteriorates after time. 😂

you showed us an intake filter thank the gods would have never known. That HKS design has only been around since the year 2000 lol.

Right before you said people either love it or hate it, my thought right before that was wtf😂

I gotta get that for my turbo build. Can’t fit a regular filter. To big for space, but you definitely gotta replace these more then the regular cone filter. I’d get 2 instead of one just for maintenance prevention

15 years ago, this was this web page that compared the HKS vs Apexi vs Blitz metal style vs maybe another one, and the Apexi Power Intake both made more power and filtered better than the HKS. Also, it's my understanding that after "x" amount of time, the foam in the HKS starts breaking down.

I love the hks look. Air flows in smoother due to the design.

I had no idea oiled air filters were a thing. I genuinely thought it was like a blinker fluid joke

Thank you this was very informative I saw one of these in my job and I was wondering how the design is different from the traditional cone filter

Holly had them for carburetors since the 1960's. They tend to draw alot of heat. But work well.

They must have been the company making an identical design for carburetors 50 years ago too.

They opened cad smashed 3 hexagons in a repeating pattern and got this guy to sell it to you for $150 to $1000. That's the difference.

The day I got my Skyline, I give it the beans and the car stalled. Freaked me out until I took apart the MAF sensor and filter. It had disintegrated into the damn intake

These are the best intake you can't change my mind

There's a lot if misconception in this thread that the air filter costs $150 everytime it needs to be replaced. While the intake system may cost $150, the foam filter inside can be removed and replaced. That foam costs arond $20-$30.

Have seen these on Audi V10s as well. Someone did a V10 swap into a B5 S4, thing is SO slick

You can build that $1000 piping with parts from Home Depot and make it look exactly like the same shit. Some people love to throw money at anything with a brand name

They Are Great If You Don't Have The Depth Space. I Always Try And Run The Largest Air Filter Possible If I Have The Space. If There's Not A lot Of Space I'll Run A Foam Filter Instead. They Don't Filter As Well But They Do Flow Better For Thier Size Compared. Plus They Never Really Get Clogged To Where They Crush In. It's Really A Glorified Turbo Guard These Foam Filters haha

The factory filter is free and comes with the car already 🤷

These are great because they give you the peace of mind of looking like an air filter but don't work like an air filter so you get free flowing power of no air filter while believing you aren't running no air filter.
