Air Filter Advice

[ToRn]

Ive got a J Reg Nova 1.2

Ok first off my Nova has a huge black air filter on it and it looks ugly as fcuk now i want to get rid of it but it has a pipe that comes from the back of it and goes into a black looking box under the engine from what it looks like it has the letters (GM) on both of them.

Now i know nothing about air filters, but i want one that makes my car sound nicer (already got an exhaust (well exhaust Tip (but it is Peco))) I would also like a bit more BHP out of the car.

Now are the Max Power Induction kits any good and if so how do you get the cones to go under the bonnet? i presume you fit them to the Carb as my dad said you did because the other place i thought it might go was on the bit the comes of the manifold which is something to do with hot Air i think.

i am willing to spend about 50 quid on this and if i can get more for that sort of money then thats great.

thanks in advance

first of all if its a carb then you carnt fit a induction kit you will have to use a bolt on top carb filter and just puttin a filter on wont gain any bhp that u will notice dont believe what some of the people in the shops tell you at the end of the day they r tryin to sell u the stuff and that is what this site is for if u ever have any problems 9/10 times someone else on here will have and will be able to give u advise

hi mate i bought a k&n bolt on 1 week ago for ?49.99 that will go onto your carb. but my nova is a 1.4 spi and it will not go on!! i am going to sell it now due to the fact it is useless to me! post me if you are interested.

let me guess the bonnet wont shut?

[Marsden]

no it is the wrong fitment for a spi, turns out the only way I can do it is by buying a box of a 1.4 spi corsa, then getting a cone filter. the k&n will go straight onto your carb model just undo the 3 bolts on your panal air filter and replace it with the k&n, easy as that.

hes tellin the truth m8 three big philips screws and it off

Ive already had it off, ive already tried to fit the Max Power Induction Airfilter onto my car i cant shut the bonnet cause it sticks up too high.. but also i have a pipe that runs from the panel air filter into another black box under the engine somewhere.

yeah it tells you what to do on the instuctions of the k&n, have you tried fitting a cone filter to the top of your carb so it pointing up?

[ToRn]

This filter is a cone filter and it is pointing up? how else could i atach it?

[Marsden]

you cant atach them filters to your car, you need a k&n bolt on thats the only filter you can fit lol. it will look like the bottom picture on this link
