engine Nothing more ever lasting than a temporary solution

Clean looking engine bay, I like.

 

But I didn't know that they made plastic intake manifolds for earlier D-Series. Interesting.

 

And just a friendly warning about these HKS-style air filters - they tend to disintegrate and get sucked into the engine!

Yeah but at least it's a better layout than the D14a4's vertical throttle body haha!

 

Also yes I'm aware of that, they should be alright for 6000/8000 km but I always look at my engine bay so I would see it if it starts flaking!

 

Need to make the tube a little longer and separate the air from the radiator after this.

 

Sound wise it's already a lot better than stock, especially at 4600 rpm... for some reason it changes engine tone quite noticeably there

That's the typical 16-valve sound.

Any four banger with 16 valves has a certain point where it really starts to growl. Be it bike or car. ;)

Also here's the filter I got, it's an AliExpress HKS replica which is SURPRISINGLY extremely well made, sturdy plastic and metal frame. I bought an original HKS filter element and put that in, ez 120 bucks less for the same filter I love basically.
