The stock engine bay looks pretty plain, and definitely isn’t geared towards a ton of performance. However tuning powerhouse HKS has come up with a solution for that.

Here you can see the CR-Z in stock form, with its restrictive intake track with stock filter.

Here we have installed the HKS Racing Suction Reloaded intake which utilizes HKS’ high-flowing wet 2-layer dual density polyurethane filter element. The intake kits offer the same simple and easy filter element replacement process as previous generations; avoiding the need to wash or re-oil the intake filter.

The new Super Honeycomb frame allows for 30% more intake surface area for improved throttle response. Additionally the filter assembly features a new streamline inner frame that reduces weight and allows for air to flow more smoothly into the engine.

Yep, thats exactly what they did in the July 1993 issue of Motor Trend Magazine. It was pretty neat to see how the Supra stacked up to some of the other “supercars” of the early 90’s. Check out the full article in the gallery below.
