going back to the speed limiter, the ecu gets its speed signal from the speedo drive in the box, right? can't you disconnect it and either wire it straight into the dash clocks (i'm not sure if the ecu alters the signal at all or just takes a reading from it), or if that's not possible get a gps speedo (road angel, tomtom etc). the gps is going to be as accurate as you can get ( but not on acceleration) as the ecu speed is governed by the tyre size etc.
just a quick fix possibly before you get EMU.

just this second crashed my car taken the rear wheel clean off just as i was thinknig of selling it... paert available then...

sorry to hear dude, me mum just rang and told me you had a crash hope your ok! not being funny or anything dude but do i get first refuasal on parts etc or when you sell it? shaun still having your enkeis then? , anyway look on the bright side it could've been much worse good job you declared all your mods!

as said dude hope your ok!

[sonic]

Bad news dude, are you ok ?

[kristian]

whats the info IAN? get some images up!

[59 bhp is more than enough]

ah christ man, how did it happen. hope your okay.

[Swiper]

it's at my house now.here's the pics of ian's car. the car's now been sold whole, no parts are available. but not to me!!!
the sad part is, he wasn't even racing anyone. he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. lol

[squarepants]

loving the camber angles lol, and i think you have a scratch on your rear wheel lol. nah dude sorry to hear, my fav k11 ever!

[Type-R]

#### this is bad dude! i feel gutted that was one of the sweetest micras around!

[kristian]

That damage is NOTHING, get a new axle for 40quid and your fine..

[sonic]

been there, done that lol.

[Fordy]

good excuse for rear disks imo

[Raceworx]

id love to fix it but i have no cash so its gone...

[kristian]

id love to fix it but i have no cash so its gone...

really? where and how much?

[Raceworx]

the deal fell through he couldnt stump up enough cash that i wanted for the car.. so its still mine for now

[wilsonian]

This new mod is catching on!!!

[NeX]

This new mod is catching on!!!

LMAO!!

thats more like it will be fitting my hover convertion in the next couple of days go me!!

i saw the real DMC they used in the films. some guy bought it here down south.. it was broken down lol obviously ran out of crap to put in the Mr Fusion

[kristian]

whats the 'deal'.. might be interested..

[Raceworx]

£2000 and shes yours.. no offers the bits on the car are worth more.... im fixing it now so ill only let her go for that..

[Type-R]

good price for the list of mods etc....

bit to hardcore for me

good luck if you decided to sell, although i rather you keep the car and finish it off.

[Raceworx]

well im fixing the rear iv had to get a small loan from the rents to get a few bits to make it worth it.. iv got a new rear axel which im spraying up and strengthening the anti roll bar mounts on it cos they look flimsy. orderd new drop links and i have these on the way :-



so it should be back together in a few weeks it just needs a new set of wheels..

[ollie240585]

Glad you decided to put it back 2gether

[kristian]

anychance you could order some whiteline stuff for me if I gave you the money..?

[Raceworx]

why what you after?

[kristian]

Pretty much everything they do..
front and rear anti roll bars, and the Adj trailing arms...
Camber kit..

ha ha.. just checking out the websites u sent me..

[Swiper]

just posting some pics up for raceworx.

check out the low budget rally service area.

and a taster shot of the front bumper mod. (still work in progress)

[tommo]

cool

[Type-R]

rally service area

looks great!! hopefully its coming along fine.... ian can try n beat me once his fixed his ride..... lol.

[Raceworx]

cheers for putting the pics up dude.. the car is having abit of a chop and change cos iv got board and if im fixing her she needs some new bits.. so its having a new top secret front splitter added aswell the rear bumper is going to be sliced apart... and a new front crossmember added so there wont be a single piece of rust on her.. oh and new alloys iv chosen with toyo R888 semi slick tyres on there for more grip

[Type-R]

any progress yet?

[Raceworx]

orderd the aluminium for the rear bumper, started the front splitter, painted the rear axel up orderd a new front panal so its just a case of finding a break in the weather and cracking on with it.. cheers to shaun and vic for putting up with having the car on there drive..

the rear axel we got was from a pre-facelift 1.0 so we had to grind and weld the mounts for that back on before we painted it in hamerite blue it looks good got new drop links aswell just waiting till the x-mas shopping is finished so i can buy the wheels and tyres..

oh and i have been talking about a new project with shaun so the 1.3 turbo is off but i have thought getting the spare engine built up with 1.0 pistons tomie head gasget 1.6 injectors and throttle bodie walbro pump fse boost valve with a greddy e-manage ultimate to map it all with my cams and exhaust and finally see just what kind of power it can make as everyone bands figures around but iv not seen a dyno sheet on this sight of a
N/A tune micra

[Low Rider]

We had a massive post once on power figures but it caused so many arguments I think it was locked and has since dropped off the archives. I can't find my old dyno sheets either, which is a shame.

I'll be hopping on the dyno with the old engine just as soon as my exhaust comes back from the coaters. It'll be running NME cams, Group A intake and Group A exhaust system with two ecu setups as a comparison to allow it to rev past the standard limiter, which is right in the way for the NME profile.

Will post up the figures when they arrive, so we can cause some disruption in the new year

[Raceworx]

well this is where i will need some help iv got a face lift and im sure my avanti cam specs need it to rev more.. so for power wise the engine build will hopefully be somthing like this :-

CG13DE Auto block
Avanti cams
Tomei low compresion head gasget
1.0 pistons
ill give the head abit of a polish and rubdown
1.6 TB and 1.6 injectors
FSE power boost valve
walbro fuel pump
janspeed manifold 3" decat and 2" straight no box exhaust
sealed airbox with feed from front bumper

might throw some better sparkplugs in.. but the reall ###### is going to be sorting the ECU rev limit as pete carnt do the facelift boards yet i dont think... any ideas???????

[Swiper]

cheers to shaun and vic for putting up with having the car on there drive

not a problem dude!

Tomei low compresion head gasget
1.0 pistons

wouldn't these two items cancel each other out. raising the compression ratio with the cg10 pistons then lowering it with the tomei head gasket?

[Type-R]

will a pre face lift ecu work in a your car?

[Raceworx]

no the pin outputs are different...

[Ian]

i think craig once said something about the japs running 1.0 pistons in 1.3s with thin gaskets and they had some valve/piston collision.

[Type-R]

ian if you want to go mentalisitic there is one option..... impul ecu for k11 raises rev limit to 10k, i have seen them for sale on jap sites they go for around £650

[micra_pete]

ian if you want to go mentalisitic there is one option..... impul ecu for k11 raises rev limit to 10k, i have seen them for sale on jap sites they go for around £650

8700 normally actually

and the impul ecu will not work on a later model ecu, they will only work on our early type, or any march import.

and for the cost, well........

[59 bhp is more than enough]

nah cg10 pistons are flat instead of slightly dished with the cg13 which raises compression ever so slightly. i was thinkin of using them for mine but i think they will melt with the power i want. yeah will be good to get a benchmark for an N/A tuned cg13de. course mine is a cga3de so cant really compare if you beat me lol

[Swiper]

that's what i said, but then he's planning on using a bigger head gasket to lower compression, thus cancelling each other out.

[Raceworx]

no sorry the tomie is high compresion so it will raise the compression abit.. the pistons might need valve reliefs grinding into them then..

all i want is the limiter raised and then let the piggy back sort out the rest..

so does no one know where i can get the facelift limiter raised??

[micra_pete]

it depends how long you want to wait, i will have a solution in the next month or so, ed may be able to help, but im not 100% sure of the e-manage ultimates possibilies on the k11.

[Raceworx]

i thought you werent doing them anymore dude i dont want it instant but it would be nice within a few months.. im 99% sure the e-manage carnt cut the rev limiter i think it can do the speed limiter..

[Ed]

The easy solution to this is to alter the wiring so a pre-nats ecu will fit, then you can put a romboard on it with a raised limiter. Then put an e-manage blue. I am not sure if the e-manage ultimate will fit since the K11 CAS is a rather odd one.

[Raceworx]

that looks like what i may have to do... iv got both pin outs and there are 4 or 5 differences iirc

[Ed]

Yes it will be easy, most of the wires are in the same place.

[Type-R]

The easy solution to this is to alter the wiring so a pre-nats ecu will fit

good idea, then you can easily wire in emanage blue and get a raised rev romboard.

just a quick question, if nissan have set the limiter at 6.5k or there abouts, how much can you push this up and still be reasonably safe without damaging internals?

I could do with a new rev limit as well cos my mods just keep on going and a few extra revs would be great.

[micra_pete]

ian, i have never stoped doing the ecu work, just stopped MH.

if you waited i will have the later ecu's sorted, no problems

if you were to wire in the older type ecu, i could sort your rpm limit problem out, i would have to alter the fueling and timing maps anyway so you wouldn't need the e-manage.

[Raceworx]

hmm yeah i know you stopped mh but you said a whole ago you were chilling of with the ECU's cos of some other stuff. but if your all good then thats probly the better option..
