do you not have the trunking that was there previously? for a quick fix solution you could just point it down and fix it somewhere so the hot air is being blown down and away from the engine. | |

lol, the 1.2 8v is a bit crud to be honest. I put up with it for 6 months until i got the 1.6 Sport. soooo much better. By the way, dont waste your money on performance parts for your engine, it aint going to get any faster. just take care of it and it will be reliable a anything :) | |

cheers dude, if I wasn't so tired I'd go try all this now, I'm actually quite excited to get my little car going as it should do. | |

ph yeah, disconnect the ECU overnight too so it loses its memory, refit in the morning and let it recalibrate itself. Will probably help loads if you have been driving around lots with induction kit in that state. DONT press the throttle when resetting ECU, even if it sounds like it will stall. It will stabilise after a minute or so on idle. then go and see how it goes :) | |

ok dude, i think thats your problem. Find a screw or nail and block the little red vacuum pipe and tuck it away somewhere. That measures the tempeature of the air inside the airbox by pressure. having it just open will give false readings to the ECU. Try and find a blanking plate for the exhaust manifold, since it will just piss hot air all over place. remove the trunking entirely. Also, your filter could do with a clean. | |

The induction kit as it is now was like it when I bought it | |

whats it like from cold? say first few minutes driving along? still sluggish? if so, i doubt its anything to do with heat from the engine, although you could do with some cold air ducting if you have none already. What did you do with the exhaust manifold shroud that used to go from exhaust manifold into airbox? also, what did you do with the little red vacuum tube that ran from the inlet to airbox? | |

not sure, just having a think, theres no cold air intake, so I'm getting the performance problems could be due to no cold air going into the induction cone and it just sucking in warm air from the engine. | |

BTW, 0-60 should be about 18 seconds, but if you tihnk its a LOT slower than this, perhaps the intake air temperature control flap is stuck in the open like mine was. Check inside the airbox and make sure the spring loaded flap is functioning properly. | |

i didnt think the C12NZ had an AFM. i thought it was controlled by the MAP sensor? P reg is post facelift by the way . | |

I've got a P reg (think it's old bumper type, but may have been a replacement bumper) Corsa-B and just wondered where the airflow meter was, I've seen alot of other corsa's (not 1.2 though) that have it just past the airbox, I have an induction kit on mine and no air meter where I've seen them on other corsa's |
