Not trying to thread jack but.....

Speaking of filters, what kind do you guys like?? And is there one type that flows well but is low profile?? I have a setup that is limited on space.

i just picked up a 200mm hks mushroom for this exact reason. you pretty much have to run what you can fit but the larger that filter is the less restrictive all else equal. some of the jdm importers have been selling authentic used mushrooms around $50 which isn't bad for a filter that both flows and filters well. K&N also has the high flow models, just have less surface area than the mushroom.

i would not run that screen for anything but drag racing. it's still going to allow a lot of grit, dust and crap to enter the engine.

how bout, i've been running open turbo for about a year and 2 months on my freshly rebuilt engine, because i'm an *******, and lazy.

racebum

how about your engine isn't freshly rebuilt and you compounded countless miles by doing so

Me too, I don't know anyone running a filter but I guess if you want to be safe

Yes we ship INTL, but I have a very good dealer in Germany who might even have one of these in stock.

Root of all Evil

I made 15whp extra on the dyno by installing a 10 year old ratty aem 3'' inlet filter. All same variables doing back to back runs. Open turbo is retarded.

racebum

totally. it literally takes one stray small rock to kill a turbo and the smaller grit is just hell on the engine.

i think "long term" to the people doing this is 6 months, not 6 years.

That's what I run for my setup. DAs have more space issues then the DCs. I envy the DC guys when I see the space in the engine bay compared to my DA

Its called "dusting" of the blades when filters arent used.. the blades get dinged up and damaged..

I have seen people loose 15-20hp by using one of those "mushroom" filters. I used to run a screen on the turbo and it sucked cleaning that turbo every weekend. Once I found a filter that fit I have always run one. Just cheap insurance for your turbo and engine's life imo. I need to looking into these mushroom filters and compare them to my K&N and report back.

Good info guys. Keep it coming. And if you have a link to a legit mushroom supplier please post

racebum

this is key

there are SO many knockoffs floating around that real hks mushrooms are seriously not easy to find. i have to run out to a job right now but i'll dig around when i get back and see if i can find a few...actually, this wasn't too hard, never mind, here are a few dealers

Use the dealer locator on www.hksusa.com. That is how I found an authorized dealer.

My god, this thread reminded me of how stupid people are.

Also, what about the talk of the HKS filters falling to pieces(deteriorating) and getting sucked in? Is that BS?

a1320honda

Sorry...ive never found that to be true. On the dyno weve tried like 3 brand name filters, no filter, a screen, and a turbonetics air horn. The air horn made the most power and the filter setups were the least with the screen and open turbo right behind the air horn. As for the screen, we use fiberglass screen door/window screen. That way if for some reason it were to get sucked in it doesnt hurt anything in the turbo or motor, it just burns.

SUPER high percentage of fakes on the market

i would put 2 and 2 together on that one

th3pwn3r

Ah, so it's not BS. Super high percentage of fakes on the market means there's a super high chance of getting a fake. Nice site BTW.
