I just got my HKS RS intake and I have no idea how to put it in. The directions are all in japanese. Does anyone know of a good site, or have good instructions on how to install it? Thanks

 

theres is pics you can go by thats what i did. but im sure someone knows a link to install thread. sorry if im no help

 

Don't know of any links but it's fairly straightforward. Once you get the stock airbox out, it's really easy to just visualize it. That's how I did it. Just remember to save all your hose clamps and label the hoses to remember where they go. It's easier with two people also.

 

Is there anything to be especially careful about doing while installing the intake?

By the looks of it, it seems a bit more complicated to install than installing an intake on a n/a car. I'm guessing thats because of the MAF.

How long has it taken u guys to install the intake?

 

if everything goes good, i'd say an hour or so. but things aren't gonna go as smooth, give yourself 3 hours. there is always something too tight, or too hard to get to. not to mention, make sure the car sat without running for awhile - all that stuff gets super hot.

 

lol tru..
oh well.. gotta wait till i find a day w/a few hours free...


Also, if I have a ecu reflash done w/a bunch of mods, will installing this intake give any problems?

 

You are prolly gonna want an ECU reflash to compensate for the increase in airflow.

 

I havent installed my piping yet just the filter part. What did you guys put of the piping to close that open part on the intake piping? coz ive got an aftermarket blow off that came w/ the aluminun type thing to close down the hole on the intake piping.
