Its a long time project :) so there will be money to spend, and know a few people here that will come in handy :)
The final engine will be either CGA3DET with Nistune i think, if that proves to be any good, 250whp should not be a problem for 1.4L, it equals 500whp for 2.8L, and that is rather common

Havnt got to look at your blog in a while , **** that looks good !! Credit where credit is due ....
 
Sad times at the moment. The head gasket has gone :/. I have started to notice some things which are not up to my standard which I have been fixing like spotlights sticking out too much, missing bolt on bonnet mounts and overspray on some parts in the engine bay.
 
mas12555 said:
Thats because they were not fitted correctly. I have mounted them lower and further back they now look straight. They are driving lights mate aka spotlights haha

Ah you see us rally boys get fussy with the difference between driving light and spotlights but I wont bother :p
 
Found an erling one from mister auto. Erling are meant to be a really good make. So its £29 just for the head gasket and about £20 for all the other gaskets. Wooo spending more money :/

Elring have had amazing reviews according to everyone and for £29 its worth it. Nissan said it would cost me about £100 for a gasket set for my 1.2. So I bought a Elring gasket for £29 and a genuine Nissan MA10 gasket set off of a guy selling it on ebay for about £18, it was cheap as the guy didnt need it so he sold it cheap. That set comes with everything I just cant use the head gasket from it as its for an MA10 hence why I got an Elring one for a 1.2 MA12.

I earn near to no money but I want the best for my car but sometimes cant afford it which involves me having to buy multiple gasket sets just to save money :/.
 
Well you are a micra owner. Cant see why an ma10 head gasket won't fit with a minor modification as the heads are interchangeable. Only bore width :)
 
its pushed into the block with a rubber o ring on and it bolts on behind the front mount on the engine, i would replace the seal and apply ssealent and leave to set before filling up with water, must be common mine is leaking from there too lol

Too much like a starlet for my tastes... We'll see how close to 180hp I'll get from the GA. I'm guessing not very...

I still prefer the shape/looks of my super s but those ae82's were near to unstoppable around race tracks. Would be great to someday make a track ae82. That would probably never happen. lol

I bought a cheap gasket set from Greece just for spares but it has the inlet gaskets which I will need to fit my bike carbs. I am drilling the jets for the carbs as we speak.
 
SirChris said:
Didn't George say you could buy some for 4 quid?

They are £3 per jet so its like £12 for a set of four. I am drilling them to 1.5mm which is what bogg bros used for other 1.2/1.3 cars. If that fails I will have to buy a good £60 worth of jets to be able to get it set up right.
 
SirChris said:
Just buy a kit. Bam. Bigup if it works. Andy is drilling a safe way of doing it?

People do use a vice and cordless drill to find they fail later on because of the inaccuracies of the drill and the rough surface they leave. Plus yhe vibrations weaken the jet... and of course? no matter how gentle, the vice deforms them.
Jets are measured in 100ths of mm. You can buy carb drill bits that are alot more accurate and you put those bits in a small vice and roll the jet onto the drill bit
Slower its done the smoother the finish :)

Hmm interesting. Where did you get the sensor from? I havnt drilled them yet. Mine are 1.35mm as well mate. Mine are going on a MA12 so should be perfect.

EDIT: If you are on about the o2 sensor in the exhaust mine comes with one from factory as its a ecc ma12

Getting these weller wheels. Going to get the rim chromed with a white centre and by some orignal stickers and centre caps for them. Nearly got a enough for the wideband then bike carbs are going on. Also nearly go the moneys to get hold of a head which had alot of work done to it by dave walker. I should be running high 90bhp by then.

good choice then. if you remember curtis he had an engine built by dave walker. it was a ma12 and with twin webbers on it was just as fast as saxo vtrs and the likes of those
