s2000 AP1 HKS induction kit - advice please......

[martin6456]

Hi

Thinking of buying the HKS Racing Suction Kit for my S2000. I had a HKS superpowerflow induction kit fitted to a civic type-R in 2005 and it sounded awsome when the VTEC kicked in. Does anyone have experience of this induction kit on their s2000?

Putting cost to one side as I know its expensive....... as well as the HKS bling factor under the bonet...... does this sound good at VTEC changeover, was there any noticable performance gain or maybe a totally new experience of driving the S2000?

Apart from temple tuning and funky power in scotland I havent found any other suppliers. Any ideas....

Thank you

That expensive - same product is on j-w-racing.co.uk for a tad less.

Can't help you I'm afraid, but have you looked at the PRM intake? It also looks good under the bonnet and from what I hear, sounds amazing as well. Yotube seems to agree as well.

Let me know how you get on as I am after more sounds from the intake, but at the minute can't find one that doesn't affect trottle response or tends to bog down in traffic.

How much his it? I had an AEM V2 I think it was and it was worth it at around £200.

Hi

Funky power are the cheapest. The prices are the following inclusive of VAT and delivery.

Funky Power 666.80
Temple Tuning 693.02
JW- racing 719.52

I think the pounds to smile ratio would be worth it but its slot of cash to splash if it doesn't work out! Tried to get a second hand one from e-bay, amazon etc for the last 3 months but no joy. It would be great if I could actually hear one in action. I have found various pictures on the net, it looks the business but does it perform well?

I have considered the AEM V2 approiximately 280 listened to the videos on youtube but there is something about this HKS kit

I installed a set of infinity speakers in my front doors last weekend (really easy) sound really well lots of punch and much better than the Honda OEM speakers. Just need to get a nice soundtrack from under the bonet for when i'm blasting through tunnels etc.

I'll give it some more though but I think I might have to go for it.....

Cheers

I enquired about this when I first bought my S2000, from my recollection, its nice, expensive and offers no performance gain. I then proceeded to buy the K&N intake and have never had an issue since. Sounds lush for what it is and supposedly there is a couple of hp gain.
