1.3 cams to a 1.0l engine

[Belly93]

swapping the 1.3 and 1.0l cams do you need to adjust the timing of the cam to avoid the valve hitting the piston from the further opening? and what difference would putting a 1.3 head and cams on a 1.0l block?

 

[frank]

there,s loads of P to V clearance belly, and the heads are the same eh

I'm looking into this too belly... heard the inlet 1.3 cam is the best bet!
am I right frank?

 

[Belly93]

so swapping the head would make no difference and timing up normally should have plenty of valve clearance? do these time up with tools or just timing marks?

the inlet seems to give the most gain squizza, but fit them both if you have them eh

Putting in the inlet only improves the midrange pull whereas putting in both improves the top end

It's easier to just swap the cams than swapping the heads

timing marks belly

ok cheers guys whats fuel consumption like after changing these does anyone know?

 

[karlj]

I assume it'd be almost the same as a stock 1.3

 

[Belly93]

i dont know what that is like lol mines only a 1.0l

 

[frank]

aye, it just depends on how you drive it eh
i got 57 mpg @ 65 mph the other day (piper inlet cam) but my average is probably nearer 35 mpg

 

[Belly93]

so it really depends on your driving style?

 

[Squizza]

Sounds all good... just needs doing belly

 

[Belly93]

scrap yard scrounge lol

 

[Squizza]

Yep... easy for you as ya work in garage so got the know how

 

[Belly93]

you got a haynes manual? its hsould show you in there how to strip them out

 

[Squizza]

no not for the micra, should really!

 

[Belly93]

search youtube am sure there would be a video on how to do it

 

[Squizza]

ye I'm sure, will do cheers

 

[Belly93]

no bother hope you have some luck

Only time you'll have any issues is if you loose where the sprockets are meant to be in relation to the chain. Pretty straight forward to take the cams etc apart, as its pretty much all in eye line once the cam covers off.

 

[Belly93]

i think if i did it i would probably strip the whole chain casing off to be safe and more than likely paint the chain and the cam so i know where it should be
