due to having my internet cut off and being on holiday ect,,i havent been on here for a while so am goin to catch up with my guide to the 1.6 conversion this weekend if i have time,,

all ill say for now is that weev had 3 weekends with only 15 hours work on the project and weev got the 1.3 out,and the 1.6 is in and jus needs a bit of werk on the passenger side mount and thats it in and sits perfect as it should with plenty of clearence for pulleys,going to look at driveshafts tomorow and start plumin and wireing it all up,weev definatly got past the hardest part now so things will speed up now,il post in more detail about mounts and chasis leg choppin ect,,,tomorow hopefully

do you know anyone in the uk to do manifolds for the ga16
 
RE: my conversion so far

fired her up today even tho it was for a couple of seconds,cos of no belts on pulleys no exhaust on etc,,,anyway,she's a BEAST

:p
 
RE: my conversion so far

excellent, wil the 1.6 std manifold fit in the micra bay ok?

you got and pics of this
 
RE: my conversion so far

yes thers loads of space fot it,,its jus the radiator i had a problem fitting it .so im using a 1.8v-tec rad from a civic fitting it at weekend and also doing gear linkage too ,but george used the 1.3 k11 rad so i dunno how he got that in :s

got loads of pics also but ther on my fone so im goin to get a data cable to get them up here

EDIT;total cost so far,,,drum roll please!!! :p

engine,mounts, ecu,gearbox,driveshafts = 400 + 50 for delivery
1.8 v-tec rad from civic = 40
plugs,oil and oil filter 2 new belts, grease for cv boots =30
=520
total time taken,,,roughly 30hours
 
RE: my conversion so far

just had another couple of hours on the car,,we got the radiator fited,front panel bak on now,,done the gearlinkage(buy need t test to see if it works properly yet 99% sure it will tho

so all thats left to do is the exuahst and put bumber bak on etc tidy wires up and stuff like that,will be trying to finish it all tomorow so ill let you all know tomorow nite,,:p
 
RE: my conversion so far

had the first test run in it today seems to be fine,,just need some small adjustments and checks etc,,:):p
 
RE: my conversion so far

you should be able to see it at jae matey,,

i still need to get it running rite this week,chage oil,gearbox oil,tomorow
its running fine but on tickover its reving high(about 1500 revs) and then it will get really low revs till it starts strugling,but it wont cut out and then pik bak up and go to 1500 agen and so on
any ideas wot this could be? is ther an idle screw or something ?
 
RE: my conversion so far

hmm,dunno

but im really really pissed off atm,,i went to the car after work to change gearbox oil,after doing that i went to start it up to take it out for a litle run,but it wont start,

ther is a spark,
ther is feul getting to the engine but not gettin thru to spark,,i have taken number one plug out and poured a cap full of fuel in put plug bak and tried it and it fired but didnt run so it must be the injection system?
i have checked the fuse and its ok
it hasnt got NATS because we have had it running and drove it
ther is fuel in the tank
i have taken the ecu out and put it bak in
i have checked all the fuses
i thought it was the alarm that had imobilised it but ive taken that out
could it be the fuse holder for the injuction system fuse???

its turning over but not firing up grrr,,,seems strange it werked fine yesturday! :( HELP
 
RE: my conversion so far

one of your fuses in the engine bay may have rotted or blown. check them to see what the condition is i had this problem before
 
RE: my conversion so far

i think its the fuse holder,that bit wot the blade fuse slots into..only thing i can think of ive bin at it 3 hour going thru everything
 
RE: my conversion so far

fuse holder is possible if it is causeing the connection to foul it may be that
 
RE: my conversion so far

had another go at it today and got it running,,:) woohhoo!

i changed the plug leads over to new ones,,its missing abit so its the dizzy so ill get a new dizzy cap tomorow,,wen i go for my altonator,,:)

thanks,,for the help i didn't get ;)
cheers davey
 
RE: my conversion so far

new dizzy cap(which i found out the scrappy has put a micra dizzy on it grr,,so sort that soon,
new leads
wired altonator up,by guessing and a few fuses :p

but the good news is,,,im bak on the road,but now its a 1600!
