Ga16 throttle body on 1.3

[Prelude]

I know that the ga16 throttle body will be a straight bolt on, but i heard you need to mod some pins in the connector. Can somebody exlplain me what mods are needed to make it work properly ?

Thanks

Not straight fit. Either need to remove and block off the idle air control valve (iacv) or grind down a locking screw head to the point it is no longer removable. You'll also need the plugs, micra has one iacv, ga has 2 and iirc the micra iacv plug is shared with the maf, while again on the ga it's seperate. You'll need to obtain wiring diagrams to work out whats what but I found diagrams for almera and micra online easily enough.

Got one already done sitting in my garage, i used the ga ecu and injectors aswell and the car run great

which could be a good option for boosting ? (the GA ecu may have a less aggressive/less det prone sparkmap)

Almeras are all NATS equipped mind, so you'd need a NATS micra loom
Edit: Also, Almera ecu's are Hitachi and are incompatible with Nistune if thats your plan down the line.

Would a ga15 body not be easier, and gains be very similar?

Frank its maybe why my old grey micra took 8psi for months on end with no map or anything? And @enuo The ga16 ecu i have is non nats

I've got a non nats ga ecu too
100nx owners club will hate me the amount of their cars I've pulled apart for my K10

Yeah, that was when I thought I could build a NATS loom up to get it to work
I forgot about the Primera...

I have a ga16 non nats ecu as well

It sounds a little hard to do, ill search a ga15 throttle instead
