Hi, new to Micras and looking for some help. I have a K11 and would like advise on converting it to run with a K10 carb. All help much appreciated
Question: K11 carb conversion
- Thread starter Andy Hawkins
- Start date
some of the late once are ECC but other then that they are normal
and why exactly would you do that?
preparing car for my son (11yrs) to race in and multi rail injection not allowed, so looking to use 'similar' parts to mod
I see. So what about twin webbers or bike carbs? Can't be because its "multi injection"?
Upto 2 years ago only Minis allowed, they are now allowing some other cars in those being max 1litre engine, carb or single point injection. For me a nice bank of bike carbs or webbers would be great - but not allowed!!
Already have K11, plus they are more readily available, K10 getting harder to source though would have been easier from the off, maybe k10 engine into k11 body?
The mazda b3 engine is single point, but the smallest size is 1.3

Most early injection cars were single point eh, just pick a t/b with similar tps etc. And bolt it to the cg10 mani
Thanks for all your advise so far - its been great. Just been looking into B3 engines - from what i can see the single point was fitted to the 323 between 1986-89, can anyone let me know if this is the one i am looking for?
Once again thanks
Once again thanks
i ran a cg10 on a small 28/32 weber in a k10....went like stink with 1300 cams. the manifold was made up originally by the autograss boys in mild steel, they are worth asking as they are constantly tinkering. i still have the manifold, i just cut off the flange and used it as a base for my bike carb mani. i could take a few pics of it if it would be of any use??
kind of on the A-series theme....what about a HIF38 or 44 carb?? They would work very well on the cg i reckon. The 38 came on 93-95 mini sprites whereas the 44 only came on very early 90's coopers and MG metro's. Good carbs and very easy to work on too, needles and jets widely available and well able to handle 100bhp (probably upto 120 for the 44)
Yes it is but only if you get the turbo carb, they are a sealed unit, a few differences between them. Actually a very underated carb really. The k10 micra autograss boys are also fond of the su carbs (the older 1 1/2) on the ma engines, and they know how to make those engines work well with them tooThe 44 is good for turboing as well
Is that autograss??? i thought the cg10 could be used but the loom had to remain complete and 100% standard engine wise. If you had to use single point then the peugoet 106 was single point system too and the magnetti marelli system is pretty simple to wire up, far more reliable than the MEMS system on the rovers too
Sorry to seem like i am ignoring all these comments - don't seem to be getting e-mail alerts anymore?
Its Junior Rods, planning on Autograss next year (have to be 12 years old to start), you are right Autograss would be happy with standard cg10 in k11
Would much appreciate some pics of the manifold you had made - will go down the early k10 carb route - it would be seen as cheating if i went for anything webber like, even an SU would be frowned upon!
