that's still good. its nice to see its still shiny even after a coupla months....

 

[CMF_sikK11]

Yeah, Being the missus car she cleans the car once a month with out fail and that includes a full polish and interior clean with a under bonnet wipe over and polish

 

[CMF_fred]

she's a keeper then.... unbelievable!!!

 

[CMF_evade]

once upon a time..where parts were much cheaper..(compared to what I have to deal with now)

 

[mik]

once upon a time... there was an engine ^^

i resprayed the engine bay into matte black. more to come

 

[CMF_fusca]

Very cool pictures!!

 

[CMF_solarice]

Bit of a wide shot but hopefully you can see it ok...its a little different now, but looks pretty much the same

 

[CMF_sikK11]

solarice nice manifold. What is it custom or not?

 

[CMF_solarice]

Yeah had it made up at a local exhaust shop was the only way i could get the manifold to go around the supercharger (may possibly also be suitable for an aircon fitted engine ?)...you can see how tight everything is

Its a slightly compromised design vs cost, but does the job.

 

[CMF_33driver]

what sort of supercharger? Looks like a nice setup

 

[CMF_solarice]

sc12, same as whiteknights one on here

seems pretty quick, but mapping it myself means ive not gotten the chance to give any real grief yet

 

[CMF_Will.I.Am]

Here are my Micra from Denmark

Its a 1,3L with 113HP.

I have made a cool air feed, which really gives it more power on the motorway.

Please comment....

[CMF_sikK11]

looks good. What is done to it to get 113 hp?

 

[CMF_Unknown1029]

1.3 turbo

 

[CMF_Unknown1029]

1.3 turbo

 

[CMF_Unknown1029]

1.3 turbo

 

[CMF_Unknown1029]

ok that never worked!!

 

[CMF_Will.I.Am]

No turbo

Sports air intake + exhuast system and preformance manifold
Other camshaft, adjusted ignition. It runs great!!!

 

[CMF_Nissanmania]

Here's my latest view of the engine bay.

You may notice a remote brake booster that's just been installed to get around the issues with losing the factory booster with the quad throttle bodies.

 

[CMF_RoadsterGarage]

quad throttles ?!?!?! no ****ing way! haha whats the power figure?

 

[CMF_Unknown1029]

hope this works

 

[CMF_Unknown1029]

[CMF_hotfunk67]

WTF!!!

I'm not going to get into HP comparison's because they're not valid across different dyno's but I think that HP figure, if at the wheels, would be exceptional for a NA engine.

haha come'on unknown we want to see engine bays, not an airplane
geez that turbo is huge! what type is it?

[CMF_Unknown1029]

yeah the turbo is a little too big for the car i must admit but at the same time i bet its more fun than whats right for it turbo is a T04E and on a stock engine it run 149bhp on the rollers and that was pinking at 5500rpm. the guys wouldnt take it further so once complete im hoping to get nearer 200bhp.

stani

 

[CMF_1275]

Standard apart from the powder coated cam cover

 

[CMF_fred]

very clean, tho!!

 

[CMF_1275]

Very true, not bad for a 10 year old car, (it looks brighter with the cam cover) it's had a sheltered life living in the south of England. That has recently changed now I've bought it and brought it up into the pennine hills.

[smidge]

the ST engine is a bit crowded... that FMIC piping has been cleaned up recently, it works well tho
