[CMF_jay.w]

hey guys im about to get my ps and was wondering is it possible to get 100kws out of the micra with out turbo and without it costing an arm and a leg lol

thanks guys

100kw N/A track car no probs, but i would,nt want to daily d it personally (been there lol)
turbo FTmofoW, its so easy it feels like cheating

 

[CMF_jay.w]

what kind of things would you upgrade to get 100kws

"what kind of things would you upgrade to get 100kws

my 1311 reached 109hp with many stock nissan parts https://micra.org.uk/cmf/message/65695 some quads and extractors would have added another 20hp i guess

i guess you read page 2 too ?
personally, i would lighten the flywheel first, then extractors and 50mm system, then 1.0 pistons (or 2mm headskim), then SR20 t/b and piggyback or QG 15/18 injectors (+ CGA rail + rising rate reg), then a better inlet cam,
then things get expensive

 

[CMF_jay.w]

theres a ga16 thottle body i could get cheap but you put a different one in?

 

[CMF_jay.w]

and the sr20det injector rail would fit?

 

[CMF_frank2]

baguete could,nt get the GA16 maf to work even with the nistune board iirc, the SR t/b with the CG maf upstream worked well on mine jay

 

[CMF_jay.w]

so your saying the rail would fit and if i put in the sr20det injectors in it and the sr20det throttle body it would work? oh god i probs sound stupid haha

 

[CMF_frank2]

the bosch topfeed QG injectors (or any suitable vw/audi etc ebay bosch 0280 155 --- ones) with the CGA fuelrail

 

[CMF_jay.w]

ohk got ya lol thanks frank

Hey Jay,
If your interested I have that intake plenum and GA16 T/B that Frank made in that thread. I'm not using it any more as I made one to suit the SR20 T/B with a bigger plenum volume.

Hit me up with a PM if your keen on the plenum/TB.

I have a SR20 fuel rail and injectors that has been modified to fit CG13 engine.
Don't plan on using this anymore and willing to sell.
PM me if interested

Forget 100kw. Spend your power budget on making it handle and you will have more fun.

+1 more fun being able to corner quicker than to go fast in a straight line

to the OP 100kw & cheap & no turbo in these 1.3L engines, they might be good engine but not 100kw n/a without having to spend a decent amount of coin, starting off with a rebuild & bore it out to a 1.4L, bigger injectors, bigger fuel rail, fuel pump, exhaust, ecu, tuning, id say would easily cost near $10k if your not mechanically minded less if you can fabricate & weld, and able to essentially rebuild an engine.

+1 again. I have swaybars and strut braces on mine and its great to drive, even with stock power. oh and a better seat makes a world of difference, the stock ones don't hold you very well.

Yeah OP, even though I'm building up a wallet burning micra myself, I've already got a green na micra as my daily and I love it

Ive got mulholland cams, Hurricane Extractors, larger air intake, 2.5 inch zorst, machined flywheel (5kg I believe it weighed in at, definitely a nice find from another micra I bought). Full whiteline handling kit - panhard rod, front n rear sway, strut support, camber, castor, and wider rims and rubber.

Sooo much fun to drive, although (and some may disagree with me) it has its flat spots in the torque. I'd also suggest a 2nd hand piggyback ecu and you'd probably tune those flatspots out a bit and have yourself a punchy 75kw car.

Realistic 2nd hand pricings on all this kit would be approx:

cams $500
extractors $200
custom air intake $150 (for a nice boxed one)
full zorst w/ muffler $250
flywheel machining up to $100 (been a while since I've seen the prices)
panhard rod $100
front sway $100
rear sway $100
strut support $100
camber kit $50
castor kit $100
piggyback ECU $250

Maybe some of those prices are a little high or low but this is an approx cost. Just as an FYI you could probably drop the cams. But one thing you should definitely buy if you don't have already is the Haynes Micra manual. That thing is bloody remarkably helpful.

hey guys thanks for your replys so ill be up for around a grand hmm do you think its worth it? the cars getting a complete respray new tint ect.. i dont intend to sell the car but ill be honest its a very mild amount of power the micra puts out altho i owned a v6 camry before this and would like to have a bit more power, i carnt have turbo because of nsw laws wich sux cos theres no law on us having a 150kw v6 but carnt turbo a 55kw car :s any way thanks again guys ill look into it..

Once you low the car, put a rear sway bar in on small wheels you don't really need and performance I believe, the car is zippy and fun on the downhill/mountain passes
