Diameter of GA16 (Almera) Airbox

[Ihtisham Rauf]

Hi,

I'm going to buy the Airbox but want to know what the diameter of the intake pipe I require is (as I won't be using the standard Almera intake pipe)

Just to clarify, it's the larger Airbox in the photo that I am going to buy.

Was thinking of buying one of these intake pipes from eBay

All the universal pipes on eBay seem to be 75mm but I remember hearing the diameter pipe I require is 60mm, any help please

I mean I could just wait until I receive the Airbox and check then it's diameter but kinda wanna order the pipe soon so can get them both roughly same time (why am I so impatient)

As always, any help is much appreciated!

Thanks, K and N do a cold air feed pipe of that diameter but it's around £25, don't really fancy paying £25 for a bit of piping so might take the original advice of using drain pipe from b and q . I'm not sure why all the universal pipes on eBay are 70mm, I guess that maybe the common size these days

Hey! I have exactly the same setup in my Micra, the 75mm end is too big but I took the rubber surround off of the inlet of the TB of a spare Micra I have (where the final metal mesh filter is from the airbox) squeezed that over the Almera arbox inlet, and then the 75mm hose trumpet thing fits super snug over the rubber bush. I haven't explained it very well but can grab some pictures in a bit if you'd like.

Hmmmmm I see I see, so I guess I can buy 60 or 75mm hose then, whichever I can find cheapest. And if it turns out I find a cheaper 75mm hose, then I'll use your method. If I find 60mm cheaper, then thats already perfect size.

Thanks a lot for all your help!

Looks like you will still need to get a spare throttle body rubber and the adapter to use the 75mm hose though?.............

You will do, but my airbox came with the rubber too, so used that for the airbox > throttle body join, and the the Micra one for the airbox > intake tube one.
