just plug my info 
the GA16de engine runs about 102BHP, it costs very little comparativly to get a CG13de up to the same power. the GA16de convertion has a fair few issues including: completly wrong speedo, idling issues, engine grinding on the chassis and radiator points in the wrong place.
the only advantage i have found with the GA16de convertion is the extra displacement gives it more torc which is nice for higher gears but causes the wheels to spin in lower gears....
i recommend that people either go SR20de for massive power gains, or spend £700 on one of Matt Humpris gass flowed and ported heads pre fited with fast road cams.
but good luck to all who try it. maybe people could write up i guide of FAQs and problems etc....
wide arch boy, your convertion is looking good, but you WILL have an issue with the engine grinding on a hard left. best of taking more of the chassis leg out and/or getting nismo stiffer engine bushes.

there is plenty of room for the pulley the pictures ive taken don't show the space it has (i will get some better ones when it stops raining. as well some measurements of the clearance )
they will be going on nismo bushes soon. problem is it half micra, half primera
broony my msn is on the first page somewere
i see, looks like some custom bushes may be in order
on stock bushes you get about an inch of movement on an average bit of cornering. so if there is more than an inch and some totally stiff bushes fitted then its not a problem

nice.
whats the tank in place of the carbon canister ? im thinking of dumping mine also.
ive nearly finished mine also, MOT on thrusday 18th october
just need to re-do the front pipe to match the 2" system through the rest.
just seen the cardomain site, oil catch can.
nice job
ive just upgraded my side mounts (one engine one gearbox) to solid mounts, saves some movement side to side, altough will let the engine rock back and forward as it wishes
any closer pics of your engine, wiring, throttle body ??

THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!
Nice blog here Toney, been thinking about moving my battery to the boot, is it an easy job to trail cables from the outside of the micra to the inside? Shame about forgetting to put the bonnet pins back on, must of scared you. Definately a blog to steal ideas off, for example the radiator move.
