CG10-CG13 DIY

[Dougyledds]

I am really suprised there is not an in detail CG10 to CG13 conversion guide... (unless i have not found it)

I know its real easy and ''just bolts in'' etc etc but i am curious to see pictures and something to follow would be cool

Let me know if i have been looking in the wrong place using Search!

its because there are different ways of doing it basically dougy, some lift the engine out the top, some drop it down, some remove the g/box too etc

I am curious to see different ways then

When i get around to doing mine, i will leave the current gearbox in and use the Cg10 fly

No one really adding to this then?

When Chris and Joe did mine, they lifted it out the top with the gbox on with an engine crane.

Thats probably the easiest ayit?

Either that or remove the front end and take it out that way?

Easier to do without a crane and it's how I helped Chris with his turbo when he first got it!

Im gonna be painting the bay anyway so i may just take the lot off the front

Personally, I would reach under the glovebox and pull it all out...

...but then, I am proper macho and that...

 

[Dougyledds]

If it works!

 

[Skinner_87]

If I carnt get a crane I normally drop the box off first and pull it out of the passenger side arch. Then drop the engine out and pull it out the drivers side arch. On a skateboard

 

[Dougyledds]

Hell son! thats the way!!

 

[Dougyledds]

Even tho.. i am curious how you have all gone about doing this

 

[r-reg-sr]

Dougyledds tell me why you fret,eng out the front g-box to the edge,i thought you had more grief flinging they maa's over and into a hedge

i will be doing this soon........read the haynes book of lies, cant understand it as its not a pop up book with big pictures.

Me and Chris pulled the lot out through the front, just removed the top rad retaining bar and bonnet stay brackets etc, remove rad and leaves a lovely big gap

 

[Paul Smith]

Do you have access to a 2 post lift or an engine crane?

 

[frank]

i always pull the g/box to one side and hump the engine over the cross member dougy (shafts, starter etc in situe)

 

[Magpie42]

I like how the engines are queuing up to get in...

not changed from a 1.0 to a 1.3 but when i took my 1.0 out for repairs just took the bonnet off seperated from the gbox and lifted it out the top strapped to a bit of wood then the gbox just kinda chilled on some wooden blocks on the floor until the engine went back in and it all got hooked back up

 

[jimb43]

many thanks to you frank for your pictures jim

 

[mazza]

Did you leave both drive shafts attached?

 

[darrenc1995]

Just a little bit of advice for people doing conversion, if you put a march 1.3 engine into a micra you will have to change the coolant sensors around as I ran into this problem my temp gauge just kept flying up into red but it's all fixed now, serious difference in power from the cg10 especially with 1ltr flywheel an gearbox

Probably a dodgey sensor

 

[frank]

Probably a dodgey sensor

i had the same problem with a march engine (the sensor was a different colour iirc)

 

[darrenc1995]

Probably a dodgey sensor

It probably was man, as I end up changing thermostat,water pump,coolant sensors I had the engine lying up out my back garden the last 6-7 months

[darrenc1995]

But it was definetly the sensors that were making wrong gauge readings

Facelift 1.0 dizzy gearboxes use the bigger 1.3 clutch anyway and have similarly short ratios.
