Hi guys, havent got a micra yet but considering one for the wife.
I want to get a spare engine from the scrapyard as a project.
Obviously thinking of the K11 ....is that the chassis or the engine code??
Just wondering what mods i may consider but can't find any specs on the engine so far. wonder if you guys could help?
1.0L & 1.3L
whats the C.R? Sroke etc..
an ex of mine had one and it was single point injection if i remember correctly, did nissan make any multi port injected engines for this car?
At first i was thinking of turboing the 1.0L just to see how it would compare to those 1.0L Turbo Diahatu charades (if anyone remembers them?) they were only 3 cyl. surely we can do better with a 4cyl. Honda designed a prototype S1000 which was only a 1.0L N.A with 125HP!!! ..but never launched it.
I've realised they don't make a Turbo kit for the Micra which surprises me considering its a very popular car. Therefore I don't think i'll go that route because all the customising will put me well over budget for "the wifes car" he,he
Are the two engines (1.0L / 1.3L) Interchangable to the same chassis?
Do they share the same block and the 1.3L is just a bored out 1.0L?
Does the stock ECU control the timing aswell?
How much does a Micra weigh?
I'm thinking of a high revving 1.0L (for its shorter stroke and good R/S) maybe take .40 thou from the head, adjustable sprockets, recut valve seats, flat faced valves, new springs and retainers to go with some mild cams. Header, de-cat, rear silencer and a capable ECU.
I'll keep the block mild with just a blueprint unless its really low mileage or the CR is really low.
Wierd why these little engines arent producing more power from the factory considering theyre Japaniese.
All that work and only the exhaust to give it away! really would be interested in what these ikkle cars weigh. Surely a cheap set of EBC Greens would be enough to stop one of these ...on small wheels and stripped out ;-)
