Don't buy a universal filter, it could turn out to be a pain in the arse to fit just like universal exhausts (I was told by a mechanic to stay clear of them) look up GSR, they'll more than likely make one that'll fit your car and will come with instructions on how to fit it. Myself personally I bought a BMC Panel filter, induction sound is a little louder, get a lot of turbo chatter and louder dumps but that's about it.[/QUOT

Thanks for the heads up but I am 17 and have **** all money

I can fabricate things myself from piping etc to make it fit, thats not a problem.

Would i be ok doing that? Buy the universal and fab what i need?

Cheers

Ah I can understand your choice then, I haven't the slightest clue about welding, but I suppose that it could work! Any induction kit I've seen the filter sits near the drivers side wheel arch like so



That's directly from GSR for a 1.2/1.4 8V

None of their pictures match my car but i see what you mean and I'm sure i can run it to either side! There is heaps of space everywhere in my engine bay.

I think I found a thread that told me what the little hose that was running to the back of the airbox was, apparently it is a pressure monitor?

Would it be recommended I make a little nozzle for that to hook into?

I couldn't tell you for sure but it would probably be a good idea, as that will probably go back to your ECU and if the right pressure isn't showing up it'll probably throw up check engine lights.

Never, ever place an airfilter under the bonnet, it will suck in hot air from the engine, and you will loose a lot of power.
Always place the aircleaner so that it can suck in cold, outside air.
Don't use an oiled filter either, it will ruin your MAF sensor sooner or later.

Don't throw away the original airbox.
You will run into so many troubles, you'll need to put it back on...!
Good luck anyway....

My opinion they look stupid without the platic cover,
Ill try get pics, i took the air box and drilles 8x1" long holes its increased the pull obviously because of the better airflow and added a bmc panel filter.
It raws and does all the same ****e as an induction kit. I've compared the noises and mines louder haah i love the shhh it gives when hitting 4-4300 rpm its ace.

Hi,

So I have a Punto Evo GP 2011 8v

I am new to cars so will say what I know but please let me know if I'm wrong!

I am looking to replace the airbox with a induction kit.

I have taken the airbox apart etc and looked around, I see there are 2 tubes/hoses connected to it, one pull off easily, the other requiring a metal ring tie. (if anyone could tell me the uses for the two that would be awesome, thanks!)

I am looking at induction kits on ebay (I only want the aesthetics and sound, performance I dont care about!) and I have these two.. I think they are different because one has tubing attached and one doesn't! Please let me know which I should get (or which type, these two are just examples).

If anyone could fill me in on any surrounding info that would be awesome too!

(broken the URL's up a bit as im not allowed to post them as links yet )

Type 2: www .ebay.co.uk/itm/271648702124

Would I be able to add a pipe/hose kind of thing to the first one myself? Sorry if any of these questions seem stupid!

Thanks in advance! :worship:
