ga16 conversion

[welly]

quick question, can I run the ga16 on the cg13 ecu?

 

[Enuo]

With the CG injectors and throttle body, I don't see why not. You would need to retard the timing a fair bit though, CG runs way more static advance than GA runs (15 btdc for CG vs 10 btdc for GA)

Also, nice to see more people doing the swap now

so am I right in saying andy 5 degrees advance on the cg?

Yup. You'd need to back the timing off 5 degrees to be safe. Will be massively down on power though... I'd guess it would run about 85 ish hp without the correct map/injectors/maf combo.

don't look like i'll be doing it, im not paying over the odds for a engine

all engines are bare no manifolds etc and are miles away

£300 got me a middish miles donor car. Gave me the whole engine, alloys, brakes etc

For 85HP might as well get a 1.4 K11...

not bothering doing it, gone off the micra

Within 4 hours of asking?
... What did the micra do to you?

85hp? What engine are you using?

CGA3 had 80hp,

CGA3 had 80hp,

GA16s had 100hp
Or have I missed something

 

[Enuo]

Power from an engine is dependant on the fuel and spark maps. If you run a 100hp engine on a 75hp map, you won't get 100hp. And carbed GA16's were 90hp.

 

[h701micra]

And carbed GA16's were 95hp.

Fixed
Not sure why carb'd engines needing mentioning in a post about maps, yet they can produce more power NA than a DE

And if 85hp is your expected output the DS would've been a better swap to have done. 10 more hp
