Catalic convertor?

[45_CB]

Hmmm I have a 1993 nova luxe (carb model) 1.2

It doesnt have a cat on it, should it have one? :confused: i have a corsa one which I assume wud b fine?

Please help, I need to strike out as many things as possible for MOT! :thumb:

you dont (or rather shouldnt) have a carb model 1.2 after 1992ish... Its probably an SPI unit that youve gont confused with a carb (that or its had a 10bhp gain of an engine conversion done to it lmao)

My 1.4 '93 Luxe+ was SPI, and did have a cat.

IIRC the way to check is the number of bolt holes on the air filter. 2 = SPI, 3 = carb.

its a 1993 luxe on log book mate and its a carb model for sure!

manual choke, no SPi features atall lol

[Stuart]

as said, check the airfilter mounting to the fuelling unit

Well i thought if it had a choke it was carb?

It doesn't look like this

Took me ages to find them! lol

the top one is merely an spi with a mod to take a K&N 57i style induction kit.

the bottom pic is the same SPI type (see only two bolts holding the filter on)

Ah! i should have kept my corsa SPi bit to whack on mine...

I Just found out the Luxe Plus is a 1.2i with no manual choke, the Luxe is a 1.2 manual choke with no "i" ???

Who owns a Luxe on here lol

If airbox has two bolts its spi.
If it had 3 its carb.
NO carb engines have a cat.

ALL spi engines do.

That top pic is mine btw :) Lol

Edit-Damn iain beat me to it lol

Update!

It has 3 screws on the airbox, would explain the no cat situation then.

Surely 1993 would have one tho, strange but brilliant for MOT lol

That top pic is mine btw :) Lol

Yeah i know thought id steal some of the pics, and also stole a pic of yours for my "wanted" post for cesaros! :thumb:
