and it looks like I missed this sites 10th anniversary. I don't know what the exact date would have been, but the earliest post by Cisco I can find is from 1st Jan 2001...
Happy new year - Updated 1 Jan 2001 ! (My Micra section updated)
150kw turbo micra!
I was recently at Croydon Autosports in Sydney again checking out this micra that i've been keeping my eye on over the last couple of months. It is finally almost finished and is all running. This car is amazing.
Its a blue Super S 1.3 that has had about $14K thrown at it (the guy Croydon told me).
The result is a standard appearing micra with a slightly visible massive intercooler behind the bumper mouth thing.. It looks standard though.. It will shock the hell out of so many "fast" car owners with its 150kw/850Kg power/weight ratio! The nice Croydon's guy let me check it right out under the bonnet and had a good chat with me about it.. Specs that I know of are :-
-Garrett T25 High Flow Turbo
-Complete custom intake manifold / throttle body setup - extremely different looking to the standard one...
-Complete custom weird looking exhaust manifold.
-Big exhaust from the turbo back (3" i think, but forgot to ask)
-Enormous Custom made intercooler.
-Forged Pistons
-Microtech Engine Management Computer
-Lots of head work like porting and polishing etc.. They made the ports much bigger I think.
The result is amazing.. I would guess this car would do 0-100 in 6 - 6.5 secs but that's taking into account that its front wheel drive, and would have a hell of a time getting traction.. But you can't beat light weight.. Once it actually gripped.. it would massicre something like a 200sx 2 litre turbo.. Because it has 3kw more power and is 400-450kg lighter!!!
The guy said it will be in Fast Fours or Hot 4s magazine within the next month or two.. I will scan it in and put the whole article on the web site as soon as I get it.. Can't wait to see! But $14K - jesus.. I reckon it could be done a lot cheaper by getting all the work done by separate places and building the motor yourself and then just taking it to some big dyno performance place to tune the computer etc. STAY TUNED...
Pretty obvious that the SuperS Cisco is talking about went on to become BlueMonster... Where is it now? I know it was for sale early last year or something.
Got to love the enthusiasm way back then.
And I'm glad it is still going for most owners on this site too, with a lot of the regulars from when I signed up around 2004/2005 still appearing occasionally to post.
