what year is your car walter ?im looking for swap to 1.3 too, does it plug and play? i means electronic /ecu, just im talking about engine, still using 1.0 tranny.
Thanks.
sorry for my ignorance but wouldnt it be easier to fit a whole 1.3 engine as aposed to swapping the innerds? sounds like alot of wasted time to me
yes if you just only wanted a 1.3.
By swapping the innards and keeping the 1.0 pistons the C/R is higher than the standard 1.3, IIRC
what about wiring? do i can swap 1.3 on my 1.0 micra just replacing ecu with 1.3 engine? or do i have to make some changes on wiring?
so why not stick a 1300cc with 1000cc pistons in saves pulling two sets of cranks off when you'll only need pop the head off remove the bigend caps pop the pistons out swap crowns pop back in, and yes the 1.0 pistons are the same dimensions but flat-top (giving a c/r of about 12:1 iirc)

yes you can, but you have a block with a CG13 engine code then tho eh
.not sure if you understand what i means.

do you still use the 1.0 ecu?

so is the crown design different on the 1000cc to the 1300cc to give higher c/r wouldnt a 1300cc with 1000cc pistons work easier or is the bore different?? as crank and rods would reduce the throw increasing displacement im presuming the rods are shorter hence bigger displacement?
yes but you keep the cg10 engine code and insurance
yes the crown is different, the 1.3 ones are dished and the 1.0 ones are flat topped
That's what I thought on both accounts, still the insurance difference between 1000cc & 1300cc can't be that vast there only a few bhp difference plus if the insurance caught wind of this I'd imagine they'd clamp down hard
you would be surprised with the insurance difference between 1000cc and 1300cc in Ireland mate

So if you wanted to turbo 1000cc you can lower the compression by fitting the 1300cc pistons
i agree with what you just said, in standard form, but you ring up the insurance for your 1 litre standard micra and tell them its had an engine swap, then things get interesting,
back in the day i could insure my 1 litre k10 for £x and a standard 1.2 for about £50 more, but my standard 1 litre with the 1.2 into it, was about £200 more or something stupid.
yes i can see that working, for even lower compression you could also machine the crown down a bit like i did in my cg stroker engine. i fitted the 1.4 crank, and had to machine the pistons as they poked out of the top of the block.
