Well after a reccomendation from someone on another forum i just bought this focus induction kit to put on my 1.2 mk2 8v.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....60017528670&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

Im not sure if il actually fit it yet, or wether il just put it back on ebay. Because after reading a few other posts it seems that this isnt exactly the bargain that i thought it was (e.g cheap and nasty)

Would this make any noticable differences to the sound/speed of my engine or is it just likely to bugger it up?

I know that i have to make some changes to it to be able to fit this onto my punto (filling in a hole or something) what would be the best way of doing this without making it an instant MOT fail.

thanks in advance!

If it is second hand it might need a new silicon hose bit. This only if the silicon hose was badly exposed to oil vapour from the breather. Otherwise it isn't bad.
 
its basically a £10 universal filter with a posh chrome pipe, but there's no reason why it wont fit your car and sound good. any filter will fit any car with a bit of fiddling. no filter will make a noticable difference to a 1.2 8v engine's performance, its just an airfilter after all.
 
let me know how it goes ive just been reccomended to buy one of these but i wont be able to get it for a week or so my ebays broken lol

cheers
 
does anyone know where/if i could find a guide to fitting this perticular induction kit? Im a total noob at this sort of thing, and knowing me i will probably totally screw it up unless someone explains it to me in baby steps :D . But i still want to do it myself otherwise il never learn!

I hear that you have to 'reset the ecu' after fitting an induction kit.... how would i do this?


cheers all. il keep you posted

(y) in advance!

Disconnecting the battery for 5 - 10 mins will reset the ecu. When you reconnect it, take it for a spin, and it'll monitor how the engines running and stuff (I don't do technical talk :eek: ) and it should configure itselfe for running an engine with the induction kit on it.
