installed K$N TYPHOON SUCKS

[evomr]

After 2 hours installing the intakes, I found the intake really makes my car weak. Not really weak but I can tell I'm lossing about 20HPat the wheels, its feeel like driving 350z.

Anybody know why ?

[leaveit2bevo]

well intakes are known to lose a little hp without tuning, but you bought the worst intake on the market and thats a big reason why.

[Boosted]

its cus its K&N ahahah

[evomr]

what should I do, after couple scratch in my skin (alot actually)
and should I switch is to stock and buy drop in intakes ?
(I dont want tune the car)

[evomr]

man.....what intakes do u guys have and gain HP without TUNE IT ?

[leaveit2bevo]

drop in filter, and why dont you want to tune it? you wouldnt believe how much better it makes the car.

exactly

tuning makes the world a better place

[evomr]

where to tune it and what kind and who will do it and most importantly how much ?

[leaveit2bevo]

buy TB, drop in filter, boost and egt gauge, safc, 720cc injectors,mbc, and 255lp fuel pump and have Scot Grey from RRE tune it.

[8-AGAIN]

^^^^^^^^^all that but 720cc injectors instead of 270cc....

Bevo likes small injectors... they hurt his booty less. :wink:

[leaveit2bevo]

ya oops 720cc

[evomr]

thanks for the tip, but I change the intake back to OEM and still my car feel so slow...what should I do.....I did took out the negative to reset the computer but still no good

[BOVBILLY]

K&N will sponsor anyone too!

just a bit of advise for you people seeking sponsorship and are desperate!

[evomr]

I went to the dealer and they almost charge me $87.00 bucks for diagnose, and I'm not sure what is the problem now, I will know by next tuesday.
BUT belive me guys from all these BS that I went through its not worth to change the intake, not sure with another brand but for sure K&N is sucks

hks rs intake uses a bigger pipe

im thinking of getting that one

[BOVBILLY]

HKS kicks ass!

Plus it is loud.


LOUD = SPEED

[Blaze]

I love my HKS RS kit. But I've often wondered why they spend the time to polish the outside of the pipe, but not the inside?

(it's a cast pipe so it's rough on th inside)

I'd think a rough surface on the outside would disapate heat better/smooth on the inside would aid flow when fuel is not involved and reduce turbulance

I'll have to bust out the sander one of these days....

[Chris in SD]

I'm trying to figure out this guy's problems when the MR just came out... How is the stock airbox so bad when he is still stock??

It should run fine and the dealership shouldn't be charging anything - that should be looked at under warranty.

[leaveit2bevo]

maybe he forgot to put a hose back on or something is leaking boost, dont MR's have those ugly mitsu gauges? tell us what your boosting.

[evomr]

no every host is tight now, I checked more than 3 times, but ok..

I dont know where to start, but ok I put eveyrthing back to stock, and I did check all the hoses, not the BOV produce somekind of sound, the sound is good, but it shoulnt make anysound since its OEM plastic BOV right ?

and you know when u drive your evo when its reach 3000-3500RPM the turbo spool and u start feel the pull, now I DONT.

Yes I have the MR, comes with tiny gauges....if I try to focus on that gauges = accident.

[Macky]

why didnt you get aem? i have one on both evos and they run better than stock

[Deca Auto]

That sucks. Hopefully your car gets better.

[gofaster87]

Damn, why do people insist on changing their intake when the car is stock. A drop in filter will be just fine for you. Try research a bit before buying parts, it will save you money in the long run. There are plenty of threads on multiple forums warning against the use of the K&N.

[Skiracer]

IMO, just sell the darn thing since its relatively new and hopefully its not dirty and buy something else.
