:suspect: thought they were the same But yea hey Mart, give me a shout when you can, got your txt but no cred so let me know when were taking a trip on on the road together (Y)

Errrr not being funny Micras69 but them pics you put up are the same ones on the starlet forum. So are you showing us that thats what you did or???

hey mate, sorry havnt had the chance to pop by, but just thought Id say I think I may have actually met you already lol Do you remember about 3-4weeks back Some BT engineers coming down to work on the pole O/S your garage? Anyways should deffo meet..perhaps go to a car meet sometime that is if...

hey Frank (Y), thats why I asked if its the VTC GA16 which is differnt to the UK one, i knew some things such as the inlet mani were different plus that it produces an extra 10-15BHP Compared to ours, but never knew the pistons were..Interesting to know Cheers

Hey Micras69, Dont dought hes not making that power as I've read and heard the same to. My only worries are how long it will last. is it 1.6 VTC version? then again you say hes changed conrods etc so this will make a difference. I talking everything completely stock, compression etc, but fair...

My GA16 sits further over to the right, with custom made driveshafts/mounts using the 1.3 gearbox. This has been in the car for over 3 years still alive and kicking fine. No chasis cutting etc and It will be turbo'd in the next couple of months. As far as 300bhp is concerned, if were talking...

Hey there Sleeper_ss didnt realise you were so close by to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but are those garages the one behind the shops on stafford road right? Only I was working there last week and saw the scrap micra etc. Maybe meet up sometime if you want?

micras69 when your saying building it do you mean its already in the micra, almera? I'm interested in what you have done so far on it and your plans. send me your email/pics of the progress so far etc. ;)

the engine sits further over to the right, and its the short shaft only that needs to be custom(shortened) the longer one is from the wide arch rally micras. Im pretty sure stanis way can work though I have never tried, or seen this method so you will need have a go and see. so you have a 1.6...

yea should be no reason why it wont work obviously if theres any problems you can give me a shout I may be able to help. I'm no expert but I have done the conversion successfully and planning other stuff for it very soon :)....

hey stani ;) yep thats another way you can do it and as for the loom providing your k11 or ga16 ecu doesnt have nats you should be fine. Just a matter of extending a few plugs/stems etc. It was abit more difficult for me as my loom for the k11 was a coilpack. As for the shafts only one of mine...

you would need to leave the gearbox in the exact same place as it stands on the 1.3 and fit the ga16 to that, which involves cutting the chasis. I have avoided doing this and you will not need to mix and match shafts: only shorten and lengthen the other one. I'm using the 1.3 flywheel which you...

Im using the 1.3 box on the ga16. Depending on how you mount the engine you can still keep the shafts, but mine are custom. You will also need custom mounts for it and will need to change the flywheel, which mine has been machined down to for a better fit. Clutch would be a helix from mat...

my mistake I mis-read. Cheers
