QG18's

[karlj]

Apart from the wiring how much of a mission would it be to shoehorn a qg into a micra?

What gearbox options would i have?

Would it have the same clearence issues as a ga?

Most importantly is it a stupid idea?

i think they had the hydraulic clutch g/box karl RS5F70 ? but i think the block is the same size as GA.
paul (polly) has a link to one guy,s megga hp QG18t build

So the gearbox and pedal assey would be a stumbling block

some guy on cisco,s had a GA+t with QG pistons iirc (GA18t)

Yeah i looked into that, apparently the cylinder walls aren't thick enough for that much of an over bore

Why not just do the SR20? Seems silly to stray away from the norm only to give yourself more troubles!

Where's the fun in following the leader why not be the leader, I was going to do the ga conversion cause it was easy by when was easy challenging?

a QG transplant would be easier in a coilpack k11 karl, they have far more similarities (starter under the mani, same flywheel shape, coilpack ignition, same maf/crank sensor/cam sensor)

Surely it'd just be a case of swapping the looms?

Complete loom change and dash and column tho eh karl, different ecu plug and main fusebox etc.
