Why don't you buy Titch's K11 1.3 conversion? He just put it on the buy and sell section.

or just do the 1.6 converstion or buy a 1.3?

He hasn't, check the dates, old thread being revived.


As for buying a 1.3, not point if the shell he's got is perfect, why risk buying something that may have rust or damagfe etc
1.6, thats more a project unless your mates know enough and are good welders to do it in a day like the 1L to 1.3 will be.


Anyways, like we spoke about Bal, you've listed what you defo need, the only thing thats been debated was the mounts so I'd make sure you have the 1.3 mounts with the engine and the 1L mounts just in case but I don't think you do, why would Nissan make 2 different shells for a car which has no actual variants? (except bumpers or interior bits).

Damn, I hate it when people do that!

These are some notes from when I did mine..

Ball joint remover (wedge one from halfords)
High melting point grease
Exhaust and inlet gaskets
Throttle Body gasket
Gearbox Oil
Engine Oil and filter
Engine Coolant
Degreaser
Rags
Torque Wrench
Mallet
Silicone Sealant



Different Stuff....

1.3 G/Box has diff shaft size, release bearing and release bearing clips.
1.3 box uses longer bolts to bolt g/box to eng.
1.3 eng had diff alternator wiring. My 1.0 had a large wire and a plug, 1.3 has two large wires.
1.3 has different size drive shafts and CV joint gearbox side.
Rear gearbox/eng mount is diff.
Front gearbox Mount is diff.



To convert you will need....

Engine and G/Box as one complete lump
Front and rear G/Box mounts.
Both driveshafts complete with CVs boots etc.
Gear change linkage bar.
1.3 ECU



Try to keep the intake manifold on with the TB on too - This will save money on gaskets and the engine can be installed with these items in place.

If you have NATS on your ECU you will need to get the key reprogramed or just keep your 1.0 ECU.
