Hi i need to know whether a 1.6 air box is the same as a 1.8 on an escort.
i need to know about the mounting and the pipes ect
Due to getting rid off shitty K&N filter because car running funny
Any help would be grately appreciated

 

yeah it is

 

No it isn't.

 

Not sure what to do is it or isnt it? looked every where for one can only find 1.6.runs like pile of sh*t with k&n on

 

I had a '96 1.8 Si and I wanted a spare airbox to drill for a K&N panel filter. The 1.8's have a bulbous rectangular air box whereas the 1.6's I came across had a triangular shaped top. If that makes sense.

 

the top part is different, bottom is the same.

top is different due to the 1.8 MAF being bigger than the 1.6.

 

at my local breakers i found the 1.8 top half air box and a hole 1.6 airbox surpose could join the to together to make 1? wot pipes conect to the standard air? mant thanks

 

You've got the the pipe which runs from the throttle body to your MAF which connects to the air box, then the breather pipe which runs from the rear of the rocker cover to the bottom of the air box.

 

ok thanks mate will have ago tryn to fit the to halfs of the air box together

 

Leeeroy... you had two different setups, obviously an early built 96 with the mk5 airbox and piping over the rocker cover and silver efi inlet

as opposoed to the 96 onwards with the black plastic inlet and piping accross the rear of the bay.

if you get the same model then the airbox is the same for 1.6/1.8
