i dont think you mean carb or it would have a round filter sitting directly on top of it, you must mean throttle body that has a tube coming off the covver which the airbox/induction kit goes on.

Well why is this thread entitled "1.2 8v induction peeps", coz thats wot everyone has responded to.

If your car is a 1.2 8v Carb, the air box will be on top of the engine in a big round shaped box.

These are usually changed for a "bolt on" filter, not a panel filter.

Matt

PS: according to Haynes, 1.2 8v corsas were NEVER released with a carb engine. I beliebe this may have had an engine transplant, coz official, UK corsas only ever left the factory with a c12nz or 12nz. (both SPi fuel injection units)

I think your gettin muddled matey, all 8v corsa's have an throttle body at the top of the engine, ie a black box, but any car with a carb will usually have a filter like this




where as the majority of corsas(in fact all corsas i know)have induction kits like this



well just an example of a fuel injection filter.

what dows yours look like?

The picture you have supplied there is of a fuel injected spi c12nz engine. The same that came in every 1.2 8v. NOT A CARB.

You cant have fuel injection AND a carb.

All u've done is put a replacement panel filter on the the black air box which is normally situated where the cone filter is on the one above.

You dont have a carb, that black thing in the centre is just the throttle body plenum. it is a spi engine. its just a regular 1.2 8v, slightly different to mine as i think i havve mpi but aint too sure on how to find out.

You find out by the fact that they never made a 1.2 8v MPi. All c12nz's were Single point injection.

ok, well that sorts that out then. i have a slightly different engine to the one posted earlier, it had a larger plenum with two air intake hoses coming out and going into one, it also doesnt have a rotor arm it has a box that has the HT leads coming out of it. is mine an updated version?

yep - vaux redesigned the engine in 95 (i think) to reduce emisions, engine noise + efficiency with ever so slight modification. Same power tho, and i dont think the update actually made much of a difference.
