Nissan Cube manifolds

[Robert]

Before i write this I'll point out i know nothing about the cube..

Did the make N/A versions? I know the turbo manifolds can be used for turboing K11s, not sure if they're a direct fit though?

So, did N/A models ever come with Air Con, and if so, would performance manifolds for N/A A/C cube's be a solution to K11s with A/C? If they're even made..

 

[Craig]

Pretty much any Jap performance manifold will have air-con avoiding ability.
IIRC the Cube exhaust manifold is slightly less restrictive than the Micra one.
Also the inlet cam is defferent too.

[Robert]

So it'd still be a matter of getting one imported anyway?
Balls.

 

[Craig]

Either that, or buy a CUbe, swap the manifold and cam and sell it on...

So is there a difference between the manifolds of the different z10 models that came out? As far as I know there is a 79, an 85 and a 101ps engine, where the last one is the alpha block. Is there a difference between the three? And especially between the alpha en the others. Also, as those alpha engines are almost imposible to find, would a cube manifold in general be an improvement in power?

pyro, i believe this is the cube manifold, with 28mm ish bore primaries (ideal, imo )
and with the higher compression and the better inlet cam, it makes a good spec for a daily driver

Frank do you know how the higher CR was acheived? along the 1.0L pistons line that you're going down perhaps?

Thanks

i would think so yeh, tho the cga is a slightly bigger bore tho eh

Oh yes, forgot that bit :blush:

Thats very helpful Frank, as I´m looking for an improved manifold for my daily driver without losing the first cat this could be the ideal solution. Is that the manifold of the CG engine (alpha maybe) or the CR?

it,s cga i think, the CR has a different stud pattern (some pics of CR engines in my blog)
you could mod your manifold eh

That looks aftermarket to me, Frank - look how crude the manifold flange is, I've tried to find pictures of a cube engine bay, but this is all i've gotten so far...

Which is basically no help at all!

 

[frank]

craig, the cat housing looks factory to me, unless it,s this one ?

This is what I found, comes of an CG13DE engine, 1998, automatic. Interesting mod? And would it fit the stock cat?

 

[frank]

pyro, it looks pretty stock to me, the coilpack and pre-coilpack are slighty different btw

To top it all again makes it clear!

The Alpha manifolds from CGA3 fits the CG13 engine without problems right!?
But I notice that the two studs can not be used at the CG13 Engine.
What can I do? ...saw off is good but the two must be sealed or what.

Also, I've read the in Cisco's, the Cat needs to be replaced, as the should be smaller by CGA3.
Here is an excerpt.

Thanks

 

[Stadik]

Now very important to know about it carefully

 

[frank]

it should fit no probs stadik, and which 2 studs ?

Hi Stadik
I just bought an Alpha ex manifold like you did. Its confirmed to be working with CG13 but in order
to fit it like Frank said you have to remove screws 3 and 5 (from left to right) indeed:


Also you have to fit back the K11 1st cat, not the Z10 Alpha cat that surely came with the manifold.

 

[Stadik]

@ Seb: Yeah,this is what i mean,thanks

@ Frank. Thanks too

Glad to help you mate
