B16a -> Micra ..'UN-NISSAN"?!

[CMF_mycra]

hEY pLZ:

wonder what every1 thinks...friend of mind in US specialises in building engine bay bracket for old Minis so you can drop a B16a straight in with oem mounts. I told him im going for a swap, and him knowing i have a B16a out of my crx sitting in the shed so he offered me a custom kit for 400AUD including postage. ................Right now a 178hp 1.6 Vtec ->780kg with some BC coilovers, costing just 400+980 with a weekend's job...seems like a very bright and sweet way to go!!! but the reason why i bought a Micra is i never had a Nissan and i just want one!!! what do you reacon guys...? is it very un-Nissan of me? should i just turbo the poor little cg13 and go nismo.???

Sounds great. Do it...NOW and post up the results. If it works out well and easy then it might be worth it for others to follow.

has any1 done this b4?
my mate from Chasers Motosports here is telling me jst the same this time...''once you go turbo you'll never go back." ....man why didn't nissan make a small displacement oem turbo motor???

Hehe i agree

We need a small car with stock boost

Nissan has done it before with the K10 Micra, and now the new 2011 model will also have a turbo & compressor.

Why the hell they didnt do it on the K11.....i dunno

Anyways, b16a is also epic fun!

K10 too old too small, need stroker kit or somin and as for the new one...might as well buy a S15.lol
