1.6?

[AH.K10]

Do you know how much it needs to be open up by off hand? i can measure it but if you happen to know? I am well chuffed. the clutch will be the weak link so ill have in invest in a nice one i think.

 

[frank]

its about 5mm iirc, and the f/w,s are hubcentric (balance critical)
unlike wheels which are lugcentric, the f/w bolts have a lot of clearance and rely on the centerbore for accurate centering

 

[AH.K10]

i have a f/w some place just need to find it then do some measuring and work out if i can do it or if i need to get it done.

 

[AH.K10]

Took the early k11 1.0l f/w and had it machined out. Just a bit hot to work in this weather! I don't have the 100nx engine sub-frame so will have to deal with what i have got. The K10 alternator fits on the 100nx alternator bracket just need a different pulley. gearbox is 40 mm towards the n/s so shafts will need to be modded. but its looking good!

 

[AH.K10]

Fitted a k11 alternator pulley on the k10 alternator. Getting inlet and exhaust flanges made up so I can make the manifolds up when they are back. Still in the process of mounting the engine in the bay but a but short on time.

I have seen that panther paddle clutch you can get for a k10. Any one know if it's any good?

 

[h701micra]

Panther clutches aren't bad I've heard good reviews

 

[AH.K10]

Exhaust manifold almost done for the 1.6 so some progress!

 

[skymera]

That is cool!

 

[h701micra]

Nice manifold mate
Any pics/update of the engine mounting

 

[AH.K10]

I just got a generator so i can get power to my garage at last. So i will remove the engine mount from the chassis and move it to where it needs to be and go from there. If i change engine ill just redo it again

 

[AH.K10]

small update

made up inlet mani:

Removed gearbox and installed modded gearbox mount:

Installed the Bored out k11 1.ol flywheel and k 10 clutch :

Cleaned out the k10 gearbox bell housing (help form Mphgoose):

Gearbox installed and rear mount bolted on

Hope to make up the engine mount tomorrow at work if i get the time then just the gearbox mount and the front mount.

 

[AH.K10]

today i made up the engine mount and decided to not cut the body up to do so:

Getting there

 

[AH.K10]

Anyone on here know if the sensors on the ga16 (ie oil pressure and water temp... think thats it) are the same as k10 ones? Or do i need to use the k10 ones? Thanks

 

[Enuo]

The same I think, or at least the same connector I'd imagine. Same connection as on a K11 anyway

 

[h701micra]

Same as the K10 gear

 

[AH.K10]

Thanks a lot. Saves messing about

you,re gonna need a hybrid clutch AH, same as mine and neil,s

 

[pork]

I'm using franks hybrid clutch.
Cg13 friction plate (45 degree ground onto outside edge) bolted to cg10 spline bit. Then grind down inside edge of the cover bit.
Just about handled the power, little bit off slip, but I never put the valve spring on the lever like he suggested. Will be doing that once mine is running again

 

[pork]

Beat me to it

 

[AH.K10]

I seem to remember seeing that before. They both need to be same brand?

Very nice

 

[AH.K10]

Engine in, half the wiring back on. Just got to work out how to wire dizzy up...

Drive shafts sent off have the length corrected. So got to wore in the fuel pump. Anyone know where to get power from for that? I guess I need an ignition live but where from?

Are you using the ga ecu?
Edit: just seen your using the carb dizzy, if I remember I'll have a look at the service manual and give you a simple diagram

 

[AH.K10]

the dizzy is from a sunny i think as the original needed an ecu as it wasn't points @h701micra did you wire up that dizzy before you took engine out?

 

[h701micra]

The DS engine? It's still wired up

 

[AH.K10]

yeh did you get a new one for it like the one i showed you the link for on ebay?

 

[AH.K10]

one with 4 wires coming out?

 

[h701micra]

yeh did you get a new one for it like the one i showed you the link for on ebay?

Ah yes I did. Only difference was the vac advance.
Wires up in the same way

 

[AH.K10]

do you remember how the wires went? what colours?

 

[h701micra]

There's 4 on yours?
I'll have to look tomorrow but they're fairly simple

 

[AH.K10]

yeh 4 wires. How many on yours? I think it will be a positive, an earth and a signal for coil but there is 4? no idea to be honest!

 

[h701micra]

yeh 4 wires. How many on yours? I think it will be a positive, an earth and a signal for coil but there is 4? no idea to be honest!

Think I had 4 but didn't use one and it works fine

Blue to coil negative
Black to earth
Green to coil positive.
I'll confirm tomorrow

 

[AH.K10]

you are a star yeh that would be good to make sure. thanks for the help mate. Did you do your own drive shafts out in interest?

 

[h701micra]

No worries
I did indeed. With a little help. They're not an easy task.
You planning on doing yours?

 

[AH.K10]

No i have got a local firm we use at work to do them but my god the price... I just don't want them to be unbalanced and get them strait lol

 

[h701micra]

I fell lucky. Both straight and balanced which wasn't bad for a last minute hammer bang before they cooled

 

[AH.K10]

hahah brilliant

 

[AH.K10]

How do I know clutch release bearing is in properly? And I may have lost the bracket that goes into the clutch cable and the clutch leaver on the gearbox...

[h701micra]

Had a look at my dizzy

Blue to coil negative
Black to earth
Black with white tracer to coil positive

 

[AH.K10]

Thanks a lot. Still waiting on shafts! Going to go gun metal grey I think engine bay. Any other suggestions? Red inlet so far

Me? Whatever was brightest and cheapest at the time

Looks good and faults are easily detectable

 

[AH.K10]

Well I painted my can cover today:

Then went to the garage to clean up the block ready for paint and ended up mostly stripping the bay:

Edit: better picture

Hope to clean it up more tomorrow. Get the wings off and start prep for paint.

Is it possible to unbolt brake master from the servo and remove servo without messing with the brake lines?
