Gday crew the time has come for me to wash my filters i have 2 HKS washable pods that are filthy!

Just wondering who else is running them, what you do to clean them and what oil you put on them to keep em sticky?

also is there a down side to these filters like sucking air filter oil into my intake?

Cheers crew you know how it goes any info is appreciated

Cheers

Dion

HKS are one of the best filters around.

I got 2 of them and I use the K&N air filter cleaner kit.

Let it soak for about 10mins then rinse under tap and let it air dry.

Apply a light coat of filter oil and re-insert the filters back on.

Lmfao is that a joke? I got a $40 3A racing pod filter which was proven to have best filtration and flow even above the Apexi. HKS came dead last in filtration. Uselss filter, throw it out.

Razzaamatazz pantyhose is the best filter around. Provides good filtration with mimimal restriction and can double as a condom if you suddently run out.

Find em in the safeway isle for other feminne hygiene products.

LOL! Kris

I had a 3A racing pod, the glue melted off and the filter fell off.

The HKS ones are doing me fine.

yeah dont know if ya supposed to bolt it straight to ya turbo! just kidding.

yeah i read that review ages ago in autosalon and it supprised the hell out of me. i only have the hks ones because they were on me car when i bought it.

pretty sure i am just goin with the stock box with a good panel filter apexi or alike.

any objections?

The HKS Piping looks the greatest - absolutely s*xy!

About 3 reports now, all agree that the HKS sponge filters themselves rate quite poorly for both

i) flow and

ii) filtering efficiency.

Further reports say that if you have AFMs, use a dry filter eg APEXi

If you don't use AFMs (eg whilst running a HKS F-Con Pro-V ECU), you can use a wet filter eg K&N

I use Simota Sponge filters on my HKS Intakes and throw them out, once they get dirty. Discarded my HKS ones.

Same, my HKS filters came with the car and been cleaning them ever since.

Pods or standard air box. Doesn't really matter if your car is lightly modded, I say.

If you put the stock box back on, I would just upgrade the filter inside to a high flow one for a peace of mind, but I think the standard filter is still just as good... Up to you...

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
