Will this go on a Punto MK1 and if so how?

what model mk1 for a kick off.

& possibly, you would just clamp the flexi hose to the top of the throttle body and run the pipe to somewhere the filter will fit.

But can't tell any of the measurements from a picture and looks a bit cheap and nasty to me.

Punto

and looks a bit cheap and nasty to me.

That's all I needed to see So that's a no to that

 

[blu73]

Punto

55? 60? 75? 85? 95? GT?

not that it really matters if you've decided against it lol

60s Team mate wondering where I can pick a decent yet inexpensive air induction kit up from?

Cheers Bill

The ones sold on eBay for the Cinquecento should fit. But expect no miracles.

For decent ones (but they're not cheap) try GSR.

Saw this description suggests it's compatible

and this connection pipe

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-GRAN...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25817de88c

Saw the more expensive type filters and the Ebeneezer Scrooge which is my Duel persona kicked in

To be honest I may just go for this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PiperCros...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a812efeea

But was hopping for a direct air intake system.

i would have a pipercross panel over a cheap universal filter any day of the week

That's my thinking too

What items from a Mk2 will fit on a Mk1 as I have seen loads of stuff for Mk2 like this

[blu73]

if you want a bit more noise you can always drill some holes in the airbox as well (in front of the filter only obviously).

 

[Pink192]

what about just fitting a K&N filter in replace of the Std filter, cheaper than whole new kit system, not quit the same air intake but the K&N filter allows it to breath better than the std ones. just a thought!

Pretty much nothing. The TB on the Mk1s (and Cinqs and SPI Seis) is much bigger (in O/D rather than in choke size) than on the MPI cars (Mk2s, etc.).

But Cinq stuff should fit OK.

 

[Pink192]

I have fitted a K&N filter and Stainless exhust (big bore). I have increased my fuel range by 30 - 50 miles (depends on type of driving), but still more miles for the same cost of a full fuel tank.

I looked at the stuff for the cinqs but when I checked compatibility it kept coming up not compatible??

So am confused as I don't normally do anything more radical than wash my car every now and then all this is foreign to me.:idea:

It's not the noise i'm after just better mileage which I believe is the advantage of a direct air type filter ie outside the box. However if this can be achieved with a decent air filter fitted in the air box then I am good with that'

whats the pro's and cons of this?

 

[blu73]

recommend you replace the panel filter, a stock one will be fine - if you want more mileage then just keep everything well serviced which includes regular filter changes.

 

[billathome65]

I see the pipercross is washable so may go with that.

Cheers I know i'm thick

But if I don't ask

It'll fit. GSR Punto Mk1 and Cinq stuff is identical.

But I really doubt you'll see any increase in MPG unless the old filter was very clogged.

But remember you have to buy a cleaning kit which is about £10 + the filter at about £35 and now you have spent around £45. You could buy 10 or 11 standard air filters for that much which will last much much longer than the cleaning kit. Hence why i say just get a normal one.

KN is a bogus, no matter what the rotten-beemer-driving dude next door said. Nuff.

 

[fingers99]

There is a rumour, started, I think, by Dave Walker, that you don't really need to use the "special" cleaning fluid. (Although, presumably, you do need the oil -- or something pretty close to it).
