Any difference in the Super S engine?

[Luca bonazzi]

i was just wondering if there is any difference in the Super S engine over the 1.3 engine in the other models?
e.g. cams, flywheel, gearing.

tried looking but couldn't find much apart from the fact that the Super S has more bhp per tonne by about 6bhp :L

All cg13 engines are the same spec no matter what model

Only weight differences would come from spec when they were bought I guess

and also the range is slightly lower and its 20 kg lighter (curb weight) not sure how much of it is accurate
heres a link to the specs I'm using;

agh right i see would import models be mapped any differently? I got told that import models have more guts in them as they don't have to meet certain requirements.. not sure if its true or not tho?

I believe the import cg13 are only meant to be 1274cc not sure if that's true but definitely read it. The import engines are built better and stronger than our nailed together lumps but all have the same potential. Especially after you've taken it apart a few hundred times

is there a thread with some basic tuning guides for the cg13 on here? or would you be the man to ask paul?

Only difference I've ever come accross is the plastic cam cover on the import ones which keeps the under bonnet temps down by an insignificantly small amount...

the cam cover on my super s is aluminium and thats from italy so they are basically the same engine then haha.. one thing i have noticed is that the roof is made of a sheet of metal on the super where as the micro dot i got now is significantly thicker.. but don't think this will affect it much, probably 10-15 kg extra weight

Japanese (AK11?) micras have the plastic cam cover. I don't think the shells are different except holes for the spoiler and pop out windows tbh

 

[Luca bonazzi]

110%, the roof is thinner, unless its just a update they done too it?

I believe Cisco over in AUS had both a UK spec and a Jap spec engine and noted there were no real differences.
