I actually installed this bad boy last week. I was looking for an intake system that I can get (more) air without going the route of aftermarket intake and cone style filters.

Anyhow, I previously had the K$N drop in filter, I had mixed feelings about that because yes it worked great however, the oil based filters always sort of got me wondering if that oil ever gets somewhere else....

Anyhow, the blitz induction box basically removes the top of the stock airbox cover, you put in the biltz air filter piece and then a nice shiny bilng bling metal cover goes on top of it. I haven't taken pics yet cause I've been hella lazy, but the concept is like running your stock airbox without the top box on.

As far as performance goes, this bitch sucks air like a (well use your imagination here). Definetly feel the boost come a tad bit earlier and you can hear the airbox sucking in the air, kind of like a constant spooling sound of the turbo, first its the airbox then its the turbo.

I know the next question is does this stall your car? does it make your BOV flutter? does it work with your VTA?

Okay here are the answers.
Driveability is exactly the SAME as stock. I have not stalled, nor has my rpm/idle dipped. I am running VTA on my GFB and I have not stalled or gotten any problems. Absolutely no flutter on the BOV. Everything drives like stock.

In any case, if you guys are interested you can check it out at the meet.

I bought it from www.myevostore.com big thumbs up. I might consider organizing a group buy on this product.... possibly.....

hey nebo, i have a custom flash right now tuned to my K&n drop in, if i got this would i have to retune it to the blitZ? is it that MUCH of a noticeable diff...(k&n drop in vs litz cover??)

i talked to Chris@WORKS in regards to this. You shouldn't have to retune the car for this. You're getting more air but you're not getting so much air that it needs to be retuned, i think the ECU knows how to compensate for it. I will have to do more verification with this on the dyno, but as far as I can tell you don't need a retune. Usually if you put on a part and it needs more tuning you can sort of tell/feel.

People have been using K&Ns forever. N/A and turbo. I have never heard of the oil on their filters causing any type of problems.

How is this really different from using the K&N but without the stock plastic lid?

That's nice that it sounds louder but did you lose any bottom end torque?


I know the next question is does this stall your car? does it make your BOV flutter? does it work with your VTA?

Not really. 1. I'm not one to VTA my BOV :wink: 2. I've never heard of aftermarket intakes making our BOVs flutter or engines stall.

What meat? You know you're supposed to IM me or call me with this info mang. Man what do I gotta do to get some VIP status around here. :?

My bad my bad . . . theres the meet this coming saturday march 19th at force fed in livermore. :D

Yep i know I was paranoid with the oil, but if when i cleaned my filter and took out the filter, if you look at the bottom of the stock airbox, you can see some oil residue there, I always wondered if that will affect anything.

And nope this is no different than running a K&N without the top box. Except that this system secures the filter so it doesnt fly everywhere, you ca possibly do this with the K&N filter, but you will have to rig it yourself if you decide to run it without the top box.

Aftermarket intakes and BOV's on the Evo tend to make it run like crap, or so I've seen. Without proper tuning I've seen Evo's stall with aftermarket intake and VTA.

Nope I haven't lost any low end, but I can't really tell because I'm running a 2.75 inch pipings so I dont think its affecting my low end torque that much but i'm running cams so yep its hard to tell.

i will attempt one in a few days if enough people are interested. Also, might be a good ide for you guys to check it out first hand before you make any decisions :D

but once the weather got hotter, will it suck all the soking engine heat into the intake?

i'm not too sure on that one, I still have the snorkel ram air piece in place. And i would assume that the temp of air being sucked in shouldn't be that different.

You guys remember the picture of my RMR intake pipe I posted with oil inside of it? At first I thought it was residue(blow-by) coming from the valve cover hose that goes into the pipe because there were oil near the turbo inlet. But taking a closer look, there was also oil before the inlet pipe closer to the air box which tells me the oil came from somehere else, which I concluded from my K&N drop in. I think it only happens when you put the brand new K&N in. For some reason or another, the factory put extra oil in it and that extra oil got sucked down the pipe. Right now after a couple of thousand miles I rechecked my intake pipe and it's clean. :D

i also have that set up, but i use k&n drop in, take the top box off, hld it down ghetto style stringing, and epen up the vent too when it hot out side. bt when it rain i put the top box back on or the vent to prevent water getting in, it sound great, the spooling really can be heard loud and clear even with my mr bov. if u have aftermarket bov damn that thing will be loud as hell.

I'm gonna try to see if I can buy a used stock airbox (or just airbox cover/lid) off someone (hey Eddy, you have a spare one now, right? ;)), cut out the top and put a protective wire mesh over it; should achieve the same effect as the induction cover, for much cheaper.

dont think it would make a big difference. thats why we have an intercooler to bring the temp down b4 it goes into the engine...

I may have to go. I haven't been to any Evo meatings in a looong time. This just means I have to put off installing my shiet until later this week. :x You're going right, Mark?

I got my rear swaybar in last night, so I at least got partway done. I still need to install SS brake lines, brake ducting and my Profec-B. Gotta get this stuff done before the track event on the 30th.

That adds weight to your car, FYI. All that dirt could lower trap speeds and depending on where it is on your car, could hurt exit speeds on corners.

I hurt because I care.

Man I just found out about the dirt hurting my performance a few months ago. I learnted that when I picked up GT4. It is basically the bible for anything car related. Changing oil adds horsepower too. :shock:

I'm wondering if this would have the same effect as a cone intake in terms of creating inconsistent A/F ratios?
