mate i dnt think that air intake pipe is actualt taking air into the air filter, look how far\away it is from each other!plus persoanly i think its best in its original place,hanging underneath.to me it looks like you've gone for the american muscle car engine bay fing and it doesn't look right!

[Tobs]

Its gd and that but i would get a full pipe sytsem, or enclosed one as it wont drink as much fuel. Its worth the money.

yeah maybe the hoswe isn't close enough don't know what you mean about hanging underneath? you on about the filter itself because thats the only way it can be fitted remember its only a 1.1

the pipercross one goes in the same place where the old filter was which is proberly best place IMO. can use the original air feed too

[black_rat_uk]

so the whole air housing stays where it is but the filter gets screwed on upside down to the original air box lid?? smileys/smiley5.gif i'm not too sure i understand. i keep saying its only a 1.1 dont know if your thinking its anything else

my air filter on my old 1.1 went on the right of the engine smileys/smiley5.gif

yep exactly that smileys/happy.gif

my K&N is sat in same place as yours but the air feed is down the drivers side of the car. filter needs a clean though but effort smileys/smiley17.gif

[black_rat_uk]

what age was your 1.1 was it older than mine? mines on 1999 plate ( V reg )

[black_rat_uk]

looks like too much of a gap if i put it that way which is why i've run it from the original cold air inlet

nah its reaches, i made a new place for the cold air to get in though as it does look like much gets in from the original air feed

doesnt really matter where it is as long as it does wat it is meant too, plus no one will see it.

Is that SPI or MPI?

[black_rat_uk]

SPI I think the MPI on 1.1's are only the mk2's

sweet man

[Connor_scotland]

does i drink more fuel mate

[Qucifer666]

do induction kits make alot of difference to fuel consumption?

EDIT got beaten, oh well!

[black_rat_uk]

yes and no. If you floor it thenyes ( trust me you will floor it for a while when you first fit one lol ) but if you just drive nrmally then its not to bad

[welshy23]

If you engine is anything like mine, did you have to take out the old airfilet box out connected to the carbaretta? also ontop of the manifold u havent connected it to the airfilter, the whole point of that is that when it is cold it can heat up? will this not affect the car at all? Im only saying this becuase im thinking of doing what you have done but after learning about what everything does i was just wondering if what you've done is right. and yeh its a SPi engine
