corsa tophat

[Curtoise]

hi just been to scrappy and got a cosa tophat, also found a k&n air filter cone, have put it on now and am wondering if its a diesel tophat, very confused, works fine tho however i dont know how to wire up the heat sensor so that it takes warm exhaust gases instead of cold air?? all very confused and in need of help, below are pictures of my setup

That's the x12/14sz (petrol) one, the c12/24nz would have been better, but if it works ok, i see no problem?

lovely hot air breather you have there lol

[Curtoise]

oh rite so it is petrol, yeh its miles better than the pancake one and looks better, and so much easier to strap a cone to lol

hmm do u think i should put a bonnet vent in for cool air?

[napalm_27]

chop a wheelie bin in half and stick it to the bonnet that should catch enough air lol

On a 1.2 spi this is worth roughly 1/2 a pony power, or rounded to BHP, 0 lol

They sound good when there out on the road drawing in air the SPI engines with a cone filter fitted...

I don't reckon it made any performance gains to mine

I'd love to still have mines fitted but Airhorns won me over lol

[Curtoise]

hmm but what about the sensor?

[vaughanmc]

Can't remember mate...Mine's went on no problem

Ran good as well but I find it runs/starts a lot better with the original airpan fitted...

[MK999]

That will be the spi throwing a hissy fit at being forced to produce more power, like the way it whines if you rev it above 2k lol

[Curtoise]

rofl spi are cool lol i cant seem to fit the sensor anywhere tho?

cut a hole

[Curtoise]

it dosnt need a hole, its like a valve over the manifold on the old pan filter ??

[napalm_27]

if all else fails throw it over your shoulder and forget about it lol

if its the green thing outta the old filter thing bin it...

The thing with the red pipe? That goes onto the TB, just block it off.
