Would a universal air filter be able to be fitted to a fiesta mk3 1994 model?

& would it make much of a difference on this sort of car?

[XR2i-Fiesta-]

wont make any difference aprt from being a bit noiser, also depends if u have a bold on top airbox then a uni filter wont fit

[gumpy]

[ERRR] engine u got??

[rach652]

only 1.1, just got a cheap one off ebay. Bit of a bimbo when it comes to these sort of things!

[gumpy]

u need a k&n bolt on filter there is a thread in guides called obtaining and fitting a bolt on filter , hope this helps

[gumpy]

double post.

[gumpy]

triple post

[rach652]

thanks! will have a look

Why bother spending fifty quid on something that will make a noise, just take your airbox off and drill it all the way round, it will give you same affect of a K&N, just remember your air filter will need changing more.

[rach652]

Sounds like a better option!!

[jos310581]

If you want more help in drilling the box just check out my first post, it explains all, well best I can

Have fun

[rach652]

Thanks, will take a look at that

Your car must be a 1.1i as it's a 1994 and K&N don't do a bolt on fliter or induction kit they only do the element E-9092 £34.10

[rach652]

Ok cool, so would the drilling work on my filter?

Yes i think you are ment to do just the top part. Take a picture of you engine bay and post it up? That way i can see if you could get and induction kit on there I can find out some massurement's of kit's

[rach652]

Cheers, just off to work but will post that up later this afternoon!

the only parts of that style airbox that you can drill are the outer edges, so it only allows air in outside the filter.

[j7aoc]

They only thing you would get to fit would be a bolt on type and you would have to know your stuff to find one to fit

[rach652]

Hmm, ok. Is it more hassle than its worth!?

[j7aoc]

You could get one to fit but wouldn't be easy

[rach652]

Yeah ppl have said it wud be quite akward to fit

[j7aoc]

The only way do get one to fit is to remove the old airbox and measure the hole then the depth of your old box so the new filter won't hit the under side of the bonnet

[rach652]

Yeah, may be worth a try doing that

[j7aoc]

Yeah, may be worth a try doing that

It would look loads better as that standard one looks pants if you find out the measurements i will do my best to see what one will fit i have some one's that i was going to bin but i can wait then maesure them will give you some ideas

mine bolted straight on or you can do what i done before and cut the casing on the airbox up so all thats left is the top and bottom of the airbox and the filter is exposed

[gumpy]

heres my k&n bolt on my suzuki swift.



heres my green cotton bolt on , on my 1.1





and this is the old cut up air box



hope this helps

[rach652]

That could work

[j7aoc]

Look what i have






might be to big

[rach652]

Hmm..thinking wud i actually be able to close the bonnet lol

[j7aoc]

Hmm..thinking wud i actually be able to close the bonnet lol

Stick a brick there first then slam the bonnet then remove the brick replace with air filter job done You then have a bonnet bulge

[rach652]

lol

[j7aoc]
