Hi I am looking at getting the HKS Kansai air box through a friend in japan relitavly cheap, and I was going to use it with the HKS racing suction kit, but I have now heard that the two don't work together and you need a special HKS Kansai air intake system. Can anyone confirm this for me? I would love to get this air box, but the Kansai intake system is 3 times the priced of just the Racing suction kit and I don't want to spend that much.

 

Try contacting lot-usa.com, they're distributors for HKS kansai so they'll be able to answer your question.

 

Also If I remember correctly you will need to trim that to make it fit, which is kinda lame considering the cost.

 

I think I have heard that you need to trim it for the US version Evo 8 as the air bag sensor or something is in the way. Its the same for the JDM RS version.
However for my JDM GSR I THINK I can get away with it. Thats why I'm asking the people here for help

 

the new version airbox has that fixed ..

and yes you can use the intake piping kit with the airbox .. I'm using mine with a cusco piping kit

 

You must work magic cuz it doesn't fit with my mods either....My HKS RS and my upper ic pipe just wont let the snorkle settle down.

 

I have the Kansai airbox and have yet to install it due to fitment issues with the airbag sensor, stock battery tray, the frame rail, and the active center diff. tank.

It will require quite a bit of trimming that I just don't care to deal with right now.

Once I have some time to devote to it, I'd love to finally get it installed.

 

What intakes WILL work with this box? Any1 know?

 

I have seen ppl got a different intake in it for sure, but I forgot where the pic is..

 

i'm wondering if the buschur intake will fit, because that's what i'll be running...

 

to the people running the HKS KANSAI AIR BOX, what intake/upper IC pipe combo are you guys using?

 

i will be using the helix ic pipe kit and it will fit with the kansai air box

 

and what intake?

 

I'm using power enterprise intake. You can use HKS intake too and i'm using helix piping kit.

 

if you guys need picts of what works.. gimme 2 hrs

sorry mike.. wheres the acd tank?? its not anywhere near my airbox (if theres one)

all the piping kits and suction pipes should work.. the duct is the same location as stock only slightly bigger..

the kansai website did say the RS will have issues as the airbag sensor is in the way..
