i was at a mates garage earlier today and some young kid around 18yr old came in with a black micra asking for an engine change quote

apparently he wants to fit a pulsar GTIR engine into it....is this possible guys???

 

Lad up our road has a turbo'd one with Nos and it goes very very well.

 

dumb ass with the camera this guy, but u get the picture

what engine has he got in there?

 

Think someone on here has a mate with one...

it was on the crashed car thread.. it was a red K11 Micra with an SR20 engine

 

Not sure mate I will ask him.. I'm sure it's a 1.3 or 1.4... Might be wrong but I will find out for you.

 

A micra will with a cossie engine rappid lol.

 

ive put a sr20 into a micra before was just a 2.0 na out of a primera gt went supprisngly well for only 150bhp gtir sr20det would be the one to go for ill try and get some pics

 

The 1 in the video is Dave Bull, changed a bit since then with slicks and wide front arches. Has run at TOTB best a few times

 

I have driven a K11 micra with a Nissan Bluebird turbo motor in. The guy had 18" wheels on it and it would spin the wheels up in 5th gear. Had terrible torque steer too.

 

GTi-R engines fit and SCS have done a turbo 1.3

 

double post

 

The CG13 (1.3) micra engine Can be turbo'd with good results.Mate of mine had one running 175 BHP with Nitrous

the CGA (1.4) works well too but i belive the 1.3 is stronger, there was a 1.3 turbo micra in a jap performance mag not long back that was built buy harvy gibbs apparantly........was around 280NHP, had to hold it backm due to the standard engine cradle twisting on boost
The Sr20DET out of a silvia with slight modification goes in, orf like said the gtir...well worth ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9_Swf2F7F0

thats the problem...the almera/primera one isnt strong enough i wouldnt think,...I honestly dont know what its called or what its out of, but i know that there rare as rocking hoarse shit

 

found this I


n a word mate, it's a lot of work...well if you want it done right anyways.

The problem is the lack of space in the K11's engine bay.

To get the SR20 to fit, and in your case a DET, you will have to do some chopping and welding.

First problem is the blkhead. The bulkhead on the K11 has a section in which it juts out from the rest of the bulkhead to accomodate the heater assy'.

What you have to do is strip out everything from the dash assy, cut the raised section out and then weld a sheet of metal back in it's place but at the same height as the rest of the bulkhead. That should give you a good few inches more to play with and remounting the heater assy' is pretty easy and still fits behind the dash OK.

Next problem is the bracing...want you want to do is get yourself an Almera front crossmemebr assy'. Cut out the original Micra front crossmember and then weld the Almera unit in place.

You can then modify the Almera GTi central engine mount / brace to fit onto the front crossmember and rear mount points on the Micra.

You will have to dent the n/s/f chassis leg to allow for the gearbox to fit without hitting the chassis, but it doesn't take much to do this.

Then it is a case of mounting the engine and gearbox in place and making mounts to suit.

Once that is done, a=you will want to get a hold of some Almera GTi front hubs. Remove the Micra front hubs from the hub bearing and machine down the Almera hubs to fit into the Micra bearing. This allows you to use the Almera driveshafts as the Micra units are sh*te.

Hoping that you have the engine & gearbox in place, you will need to modify the driveshafts to fit. You will need to cut them to shape and reweld them or measure how much you need and have a new set forged for you. Option one will only last so long, especially with a DET.

Then you have the wiring...

The list goes on and on...but it is isn't a job that you could do in two weeks, especially one with a rebuild as well.

It took us in the region of nearly 3 months to get everything right and get it out on the road. The only issues then were the driveshafts, which I eventually had to have made by a specialist company at a high price.

I then crashed the car a number of months later.

I will warn you...mine nearly cost my life and that was in a controlled environment with proper safety equipment.

A Micra with a DET is one hell of a toy, but it comes with a lot of responsibilty.

You have been warned...


might help if your seriously thinking about it

 

'little bandit' was built by a chap called David bull from up here in Scotland, crashed it at knockhill and put it in a black almera, was something like 460bhp after being mapped at ava, he was selling it but not sure what he done with it? was a modded pulsar engine.

 

You will have seen the white 3DR cosworth or my focus rs kicking about then mate.

 

not seen the cossie, what focus rs?

 

What's the betting the said 18 year old won't be declaring the engine swap to his insurer?

 

Focus Rs mk1.

 

no mate dont think ive seen it on the road....unless you go to the retro rides meet at medowhall retail park? theres a few cossies go down to that
