   hello just came across a air filter and i only know how to fit them to the injection model however i drive a 97 Saxo desire with a Carb engine and i don't have any idea how to go about fitting a aftermarket air filter

   its not a carburettor man its an spi engine
   there is a guide somewere on how to do it
   however there are kits designed for the spi inlet

   spi is fine man its just a simpler cheaper way to do it runing one large injector rather than 4 on the mpi
   hence the names single point injection and multi point injection
   
   i had a 1.1 spi saxo last year and it was allright

   tbh the spi isnt really worth tuning as they tend to be small capacity and its not an ideal inlet setup for power
