Import CG13DE - wasn't someone here was after one?

Yeah I was watching that the first time it was up on eBay. I'm trying to decide between that or buying a timing chain replacement setup. It'd cost about $150 to get down here, unknown condition of the engine and it's got 80,000km on it. Would really like it if there were one down here so I could get a compression test on it and whatnot. That said if this one were bung then I'd probably look into a rebuild.

I'm tempted just to get it, replace rear seal, chuck my flywheel and get a new clutch for it, bolt up gearbox then drop it into the car.

Dammit I should've bought it the first time. Think I should take the gamble?

No probs, the question gets asked a fair bit and I never had a conclusive answer, so was a learning experience for me too :p

Looks like i'll probably grab the engine, so please don't pinch it from under me nose! Hehe..

The guy just did a comp test for me this morning, was asking fred to go have a look at it for me and everything.. just found out it was auto too, so was going to make it my base for the worked engine.

Sigh, oh well.

if it helps... a mate just got an rs engine sent down from QLD to sydney... only cost him $60 to send with TNT... so i rekon a micra engine would weigh less therefore be even cheaper than that....

Hey,
Thats probably me that your talking about...
Im not in desparate need for an engine. My current one just uses too much fuel and has timing chain noise.
But I may contact the seller as to how much to freight it up here etc.

It says its an auto... Is there anything different about them that would stop you putting a flywheel and clutch on it?
It also looks to be a import... Do they require swapping all the sensors for them to work with an aus ecu?

Thanks

yes you need a water temp sensor..its on a diff scale to the aussie gauge..that if you plug it in and the engine temp gauge goes straight to the top.

..also check the water pump..mine was ceased from the jdm engine..

nothing different with auto/manual..my jdm engine was auto as well and i had no issues.

Click to expand...

Read above as I posted some links detailing the minor differences with the import engines in auto/manual state. Definitely replace the water pump when the engine's out of the car as it's a pain if you've gotta do it once you find out it's bung already...
