Title: Can anyone identify this induction kit?
Post by: Karl_mac_ on February 11, 2014, 10:19:07 am
Firstly, apologies for the frankly awful night time pics.

This induction kit was fitted to my car when I bought it. It appears to be missing a spacer/bolt that should connect the filter to the engine, I'm trying to identify it so i can source a new bolt.

Excellent, thanks for that. Sounds like a great excuse to fit a new kit with an open cone!

Just a quick thought, does anyone know the size/thread of the bolt that goes through the engine into the induction kit? Seems to be common across a number of kits so hoping I can source one.

Apparently Pipercross make the latest revo intake and that uses a standard M6x20 bolt that you can get from B&Q. Unfortunately it also has a nylon spacer that slides over the bolt to allow a small amount of movement of the intake.
