This is part running in stage. No 'real' boost or anything has yet been tried etc.. need to do a few more things first but time ran out for this day..

 

[Swiper]

it sounds awsome now! if that's only taking it steady, them OMG. it's going to sound even better giving it some.
top work btw.

 

[Ed]

hehe! I cant wait to see it on some high boost !!!!!

 

[sonic]

sounds good and looks quick Ed, what sort of performance are you expecting from it when its run in ?

 

[Ed]

To be fair my expectations are very high of this. Only reason being is there is no reason why they shouldn't be. But since its not been done before like this I cant say exactly how much but 200+ short term more long term.

 

[D4R73N]

That sounds sweet!

 

[micra man]

About time too Ed. Lol, nah only joking I understand the effort and amount of work that has gone into this, and nice to see it finally up and running. The car sounds awesome now.

 

[paul_k10_Lx]

which james's micra is that? as in james on here with the black one?

 

[paddymarsden]

not 'James' with the SR. this James has a blue facelift micra with a bonnet scoop..

 

[Arnold]

Looking good mate! If it's still there, i'l check it out later

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

very nice

 

[scottish-sr]

Sounds nice. Are you going to be using a longer ratio box with it? When I was in Mr Grassies he was running out of gears very quickly.

 

[hughes_16v]

sounds good.

 

[Titch]

Nice work Ed - looking good and soundng even better.
Just mine to do eh haha

Titch :kungfu:

 

[Ian]

it already has longer ratios then a CG13, that car can hit 60 in 2nd gear and 90 in 3rd.

That it can

Might go for a better all-round box in the future once this one has been mashed into the ground, we'll see how it holds out first

It certainly sounds lovely and its just ace to drive, never drove anything like it, the Nismo clutch really is 'on or off' :O

Nis.

If it was 'James' with the SR, you wouldn't of heard it over the timing chain!!!

Is sounding very sweet though, I love that sound!!! 200+ BHP - I'm loving the sound of that!!!!

 

[benmicrasr]

Sounds swweeeeeeettttttt!Being as though u live in Leicester any chance of catching a ride in it anytime?200bhp plus is CRAZY!

 

[James]

Just been out for a quick spin in this car, and even on 0.5bar of boost and not fully mapped yet...

I WANT THIS CAR!!!! It's going to be one INSANE K11 when it's finished

The noise, the acceleration, the smile it put on my face!!! I love it!

Did Ed get the laundry bill?

Update:

The project has covered about 150 miles now. Its currently running 0.57 bar boost, and is running fine. The minor problems with the cooling system have now been solved for the time being, however we are on the limit of the standard rad even at these moderate power increases.

For those who have no idea:

The following has been done so far:

CGA3DE
Full rebuild including all bearings and seals.
FMS Custom uprated low comp oversize pistons.
FMS Custom shortened conrods with ARP bolts.
GTi-R fuel pump
FMS Copper headgasket with secret sealing mod
Omex 600 ECU, modified to suit external coil pack driver.
Custom loom with one off wasted spark coil pack ignition system.
Bosch 440cc injectors.
Garret GT25R rollerbearing turbo.
Nismo paddle clutch
Gearbox LSD conversion.

There will be more but I cant think of anything else right now!

 

[Baz]

Brilliant. . . I like the blow off valve sounds like the hks I had on my starlet

 

[NeX]

where the hell did you get an LSD gearbox from!!!

 

[Zephyr]

btw ed how much would u price up if u had to do again?

 

[Nis]

It's running extremely well!!! It's very quick, not far off my 280bhp 200sx (although it has a few minor running problems), so much fun

The dump valve is a HKS SSQV, so yeah it does sound like an HKS valve

The LSD now thats a secret lol As far as I am aware you can't buy them anymore, but I could be mistaken :S

Nis.

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

why you keeping the lsd a secret?

 

[Ed]

Just incase its not clear the 200sx has the running problems not the micra haha.

Ill price it once the project is complete.

Very rought approx though:
Engine inc headgasket, internals machining assembly etc £3K
Turbo and manfold £1100 ish
ecu inc fitting 1200
There is ofcourse alot more such as all the intercooler pipework and all the other bits that have been changed, but those are the big ones.
