I want to get rid of the cone filter in the bay and have a standard air box with panel filter. What model of nova had 1 as standard? SRi GSi GTE? Does any other vauxhall airbox fit and look factory in a nova bay?

GTE/GSI have the AFM, so preety useless, SRI or C16SE GSI's are fine.

But do they fit with 2.0?

Corsa one can be made to fit (if you want i can post pics) but i havnt found a good way to hold it on.

Now its not ideal, but it works and it makes one hell of a induction noise!

And one finaly with it fitted with my baby xe.

Ive got it held on with cable ties, and it hasnt moved.

PS: Using a corsa airbox from a 16v and not a SPI like me would be better i think.

TD air filter sits on top of the engine doesn't it?

I bought a nova gte airbox to go on my 2.0 8v, but it doesn't fit! Just not enought room next to the cam belt cover. So I doubt a td or any others would fit.

Ive got a SRi one for my XE, but the pipework on it is tiny compared to a xe inlet hose, so it wont fit without mod's

I might have a stroll round my mates breakers yard and see if something else may fit off some other manufacturer.

Sri/Gsi airbox doesnt even fit in the inner wing space with an xe in there :(
Fail

It does on mine.. just. But thats because the cambelt cover is broken right where it sits! Was hoping it would have worked, keep it looking a bit original. But with a cambelt cover on theres no chance!!
