[QUOTE="porkpie700, post: 480675, member: 8382"] You essentially have to buy a complete fig, remove everything from the engine bay, most of the wiring looms, the fuel tank, ecu and all the other little components. Then replace the parts on the k10 with all the #### you removed from the fig including the engine. To make it work with the 1.2 an engine rebuild is required, the cam, valves etc... would need to be replaced with performance verions like the fig engine has. But you can't use the parts from the fig head because the 1.2's valves are a different size to the 1.0L. There is a lot of messing around to do and a lot of cost involved, that's why no one bothers to do it. Then there is the question of reliability, will a 1.2 block (with it's thinner cylinder walls) take the pressure from a turbo? Probably not, that's why nissan reduced the engine size to 930cc for the Super Turbo, to make it stronger. Turbo charging an MA is something you need a nice big budget for and a high level of mechanical skill plus the right contacts to provide you with the stuff you'll need. I think that the most cost effective way to give yourself more power (i've been saying this for years lol) is to sell the micra and buy a motor with something big under the bonnet. It certainly is the option with the least ammount of work involved and you have the added bonus of not having to thrash the life of it to constanly "prove" yourself to other drivers, coz they'll already know what it can do. :grinning: [/QUOTE]
