Does using a 1.6 TB on the 1.3 SR engine make it any more powerful etc and how easy is it to fit?-Take it you would also need an almera k&n for it aswell??

Cheers
 
from what i heard it gives you more pull thru lower and middle ranges, not that hard to fit apparently either theres a guide in the guides section.

you'll need the 1.6 ecu non nats i think, not sure as people have been having probs with this so i'd wait for a few more replies before going ahead :)
 
Cheers for the quick reply, was just curious. Heard there is a guy along the road from me, rally preps some Micras, he can overbore the 1.3 one.
 
Hi - where is it you stay? I'm tryibng to get a scottish meet arranged for sonetime soon, so would be good to see you there.
Anyway. The 1.6 tb makes a big diffrence, it gives you better pull through the gears, and a faster acceleration. For this to work good, you'll need to also change the ECU to the Primera one. Does your SR have Nats?? If so, may be a bit of a problem. There is a guide on how to fit it in the K11 guides section, but its not 100% clear. Will create a new one at the weekend for you.

From Lanarkshire. My SR does have Nats. I am just looking into it just now, dont know if it would make much difference on a standard engine.

and if you need to buy one,i have one for sale with ecu
I noticed and thats why I asked,lol. I need cheap(ish) mods to make it faster. If there is such a thing.
 
Well thr change on the tb is worth it yes, but tricky to fit, but not to hard. NATS will be a prob, jst don't bother changing the ECU. Also the Micra K&N still fits the 1.6 tb.
 
not used to the jargen on here yet are you on about fitting a 1.6 turbo engine ? if so what is the doner car and where is this guide you speak off
 
jonah its not a turbo engine its a throttle body(tb) the bit that lets the air in to manifold etc, etc...also the bit that really moves when u hit the gas/throttle/accelerator
 
i have nats, i would like to fit the 1.6 tb (not turbo lol) can i turn off the nats & use the new ecu or will it work ok. does anybody have a definitive answer ? also how much you want for yours RIC
 
No - you can't jst turn NATS off. George and me are in the process of working out where NATS is based in the system, and finding out a way to disable it properly.

Gonna be a ##### to do, but we'll work it out i'm sure. As for the TB - yes, you can put it on no problem. Jst don't change the fuel pressure! lol
