will a cone filter not fit direct onto the end?
if so i may have a green cotton cone filter off my pug that may fit (even if temp) save you finding buying a hose

dont think so, as there is another little bit on the hose to connect a smaller pipe to let oil in i think

Those engine also had an Air flow meter on them, so not easy to plonk a cone on them, like the later DIS ones which have a map sensor instead

bah! so what would you suggest jl?

have you got the loom and ecu to go with the engine??

You should be able to hack up the nova air box and stick it on a hacked up corsa airbox to make a std lookign aribox, an presto nice and quiet.

yep got the loom and ecu, ideally i want an induction kit, i like the sound of them, but as you said because its got an air flow meter will it make it impossible?

Use a cone filter - airboxes are for idiots.

iv\'e got a k and n though, dont really want to be splashing out on more stuff at this moment in time, need to get a new clutch and loads of other stuff, is there any way to bang my k and n on or will it mess the air flow meter working?

Doubt it\'ll damage the airflow meter, but why skimp on parts at this stage?
