i just ordered my hks intake, (yes i am aware of the filter issues and i plan on taking verry good care of it) ive heard that it upsets the MAF w/o a tune and will cause you to run rich/stall?

im trying to avoid getting tuned untill my entire setup is done so i only have to pay for it once as opposed to getting it done with every mod.

basicaly, is it safe to run a full TBE and HKS intake for at MOST a month without damaging anything?

***yes, i searched and couldnt find anything regarding saftey issues, just running lean and some stalling issues***

 

its fine i ran it for a while with out a tune but you should really look into getting a tune asap its the best mod you can do to your evo

 

It should be fine, just plan to get a tune soon. I ran my car with the intake for a couple weeks before getting tuned. My idle was fine, the car had no problems.

 

Safe yes, run like A$$ most likely get a tune as soon as you can.

 

ok cool.. yeah i am getting a tune ASAP, i am throwing on my DP and o2 housing and intake this week, ordering my hks 272s next week and should have it tuned soon i just dont want a bunch of parts laying around and a bunch of things on the to-do list at once.

 

Hell no not safe. lol. My idle would jump from 200rpm to 1100rpm radically. And then one time when i got on it real hard in 2nd at like 5k the whole car just turned off. i though i blew my motor or something. started it right back up, sayed F*** this ill wait and threw my stock intake back on. i would wait for a tune.

 

oo that dosnt sound good.. was it hks?

 

I would say you should be good, i wouldnt drive the car too hard though, just wait to get a tune.

 

hks super intake

 

The car will just run a little lean during spool (like 13.3 AFR), and a tad leaner midrange so dont go hog wild on boost or run shyt gas

If you drive in dusty/sandy areas a good amount of it will pass right through the engine. So change your engine oil on a shorter interval.

 

You guys are chickens the reason why I say that is I got a base map flash. Then I ordered my HKS RS intake and I ran that intake with the dirty filter for maybe a year ran it at the track no problems at all. I even ran a 12.5 I think was my best on that setup. you will be fine
