1.5turbo diesel mods!

[cossienova]

Just bought a 1.5td nova,it goes ok but could do with a bit more go! Where can i get a de cat pipe from? And where can i get a decent air filter for it? any other ways i can make it go a bit better on the cheap without sacrificing the fuel economy to much???

Great,thanks,il have a read through that.

You will have to decat it yourself. use a cone filter :)

[autoworksnovasport]

dont use a cone filter you can get k/n panel filter for it much better!!

[Balley]

Gets hot in the standard airbox as its mounted to the inlet!

[General Baxter]

how many times,

it WONT HAVE A CAT lol

[mowgli]

one might have hidden in there.....

[cossienova]

It looked like it has a cat? But not 100% sure.iv got a cone here that should fit,but which should i go for cone or panel? where can i get a panel filter from? Is it worth me bolting on a n/a inlet or wont i see any noticeable gains? thanks.

they do cone and panel filters not sure how good they are tho

[General Baxter]

STOP right there

you have to be care full with TD air filters

vauxhall stuck them anywhere,

you will ether have one on the wing, or one ontop of the engine,
or both lol

just ditch it all and stick a K&N on to the turbo inlet :)

Thought about that but the turbo outlet is tiny! unless i make a pipe up.

Tidy,thanks for that,il have a think and c whats best may just get that.

[General Baxter]

use the pipe thats allready on there twist it 90 degrees towards the wing, and stick the K&N on that

[cossienova]

Ok,thanks,il have a go at that.Would i get a noticeable gain from fitting a n/a diesel inlet?

bin all the blue squggles,
turn the pipe in the red 180 degrees and put the K&N on to that :)

depends, i would just so the IC pipe has better flow, have you seen the inlet side on the TD manifold lol

[cossienova]

Excellent,cheers! Havnt paid to much attention to it yet as iv only just got it,but will have a look tomorrow.Then hit the scrap yard on the lookout for a n/a diesel corsa!
