    Default *HOW TO* Fit an induction kit to your 1.2/1.4 spi 8v engine

    Guide by Aragorn, the below pic is of my old engine.

    What u need:

    Corsa/Cav SPi top box (you can see it in the picture below) - ?5 (scrappy)
    Universal cone filter - ?25 (halfords)
    125 degree 68mm rain gutter bend - ?2.50 (homebase)
    length of 68mm rain gutter - ?5 (homebase)
    piece of rubber hose about 66-68mm ID - ?1 (scrappy off an escort 1.6 efi)
    longer breather hose to join the breather to the top box(join two together with a joiner/t-piece)

    ok i started by purchasing the 125 degree bend and i hunted down a piece of hose from the scrappy that would fit that and the spi top box - i finally found a bit from an escort 1.6 efi that fitted with a bit of percerverance
    i then returned to homebase and got the length of gutter (might wanna take somthing with u to cut it as they wont cut it instore and it wont fit inside a nova :P (i ended up smashing hell outta the middle of it with my wheel spider to break it into 2 halfs)
    the spi box has a silly valve contraption on the back - remove this by breaking off the metal clip and removing the valve from inside - the 2 holes will need filled now (i glued some drawing pins over the holes from the outside to seal it)
    i then cut a length about 12" long out of the guttering and got the correct adaptor ring from the universal filter kit (70mm one) - i had to use some tape to pack up the 2mm difference as the jubliee clip didnt like clamping down the slack
    attached the gutter to the filter and then fitted the filter to the 125degree bend
    you will also need to extend your breather hose to fit on the outlet on the airbox

    fitted the whole lot to the car and bingo

    a nice induction kit for a whole ?38.50
