1.3 conversion questions.
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
im sorry mate, but if you know its been covered before (which it has, lots) then why ask questions?? just do a search, then come back with specific questions if you still have any. you will get a much better responce then, people like to see some effort on your part before they make the effort to explain stuff to you.
best of luck with it mate, and having done the conversion myself i will try to help you with any specific questions you may have
depends on weather you are going to do the conversion yourself, but about £200 should do it if you are. depends on what you get the parts for eh?
Hey mate. I'm doing this at the minute. I'm only happy to help because all I've done recently is ask silly questions lol
Costs so far have been £90 for engine with 46k miles and £40 for a new clutch. I can't see me buying anything else really bar service items for the new engine. Cheap enough to do. Oh, I've had to do some welding but that's because the old tin worm has made some progress on my Micra lol
If you need any help just ask, I would recommend a search too. Theres lots of info on this great site.

copied from my thread about when i did it:
Overview of things i needed for the conversion:
A 1.3 engine, gearbox and TB,
The rear mount off of a 1.3,
Gear linkage off of a 1.3,
Both Driveshafts off of a 1.3
New 1.3 clutch kit (optional but recomended)
A 1.3 ECU (i am told it will run with a 1.0 ECU, but my guess is it wont run half as well) (maybe someone could clarify)?

well, the 1.0 and 1.3 ecus have different maps, so it wont run to its full potenial.
using the 1.0 g/box is an option as you say. but you will use more fuel as the ratios are different (you will also get better acceleration) so its up to what sort of driving you do eh?
Has anyone any comparisons between a 1.3 ecu running a GC13 and a 1.0 ecu running a CG13? Maybe even some rolling road results? Would be interesting to see what differences there are.
Yeah, it's not for commuting or doing big miles in, just for fun Noddie so mpg, for me, is of little concern but that's not to say it isn't for someone else.

mine showed a claimed 107hp last year with the 1.0 ecu, 1.6 t/b and injectors, and there are posts claiming that the only difference is 6 or 8 deg more ignition advance in the 1.0 map iirc (micra_pete maybe ?)

mine ran just the same with both ecu,s could not tell if one was better or worse so if it is, its a very fine line
hmm, not when you look at the maps that nistune give, remember those maps that got posted in my ecu thread frank? they were pretty different iirc.
thats quite an increase for just 1.6 TB and bigger injectors frank, 31BHP!?
EDIT: just had a look at the maps and only the ign maps were posted, so you might be right frank. sorry to have doubted you

yeh, bagas posted some maps up did,nt he ed, and that 107 was with cams, exhaust etc (my guess was 100hp ish tbh)

yeah, thats right, had another look and he did post up fuel maps but only for the 1.3 i think.
oh
thats more like it(Y)is bagas still about? may he could clear this up.

I'm right here (baguete = old bagas) :laugh:
Check this video, 1st run with 1.0 maps, 2nd run with 1.3 maps (Facelift maps), no such a difference:

did you get a power curve from those runs?
and hello mate! didnt knwo that was you
Hi again
I only scanned the power run with 1.3 maps, gived 1 more Nm over 1.0 maps, check it on my blog:

I will try to scan the power run with the 1.0 maps (Y)
