Stani's Turbo Micra

I used that oil gallery and you know what It has a lot of pressure lol, A bit too much asctually a restrictor was needed for my t25. I accidentally left the the hole with the adaptor unplugged from the turbo and started the car for about 20 seconds and there was oil about 2 metres in front of the car and about 2 foot wide. Lost about 1 litre of oil lol.

My turbo ran fine off it for like 8 months untill i took it off.
 
tap into the thicker of the two pipes which should be the lowest pipe down, i cant exactly remember right now but ill take photos tomorrow and post them up tea time-ish :)
 
theres deffinately an allen key plug to the left of the head just next to the exhaust manifold. its a direct fitment for an oil feed line and all the jap guys use it. but try getting the screw out of it..lol

I trid an allen key at first but no it was rounded lol. I then hammered a star key in to it and then it came out. its a 1/8th bsp oil feed socket used on most cars.

thats good to hear, as i can get rid of the stupid oil pressure guage piping that comes all the way from the back of the block... and stick it on the front where its needed

ive got 3 cylinder heads the practice on anyway so im sure ill get one out..lol
 
Would be nice to see some pictures mate (Y) Have you bypassed the dim dip already?

oh and what rating did you get?
 
Had a quick mooch through the thread..

You want to get on a RR pal and stick up a few pics of your graph.. going through a few headgaskets without any managment or more importantly.. seeing how the car is running on the set-up it has now..

I ran a similar fueling set-up to yours.. upped fuel pressure / 1.6 injectors..etc.. but with a piggy back..

..and Going of what you are saying the Standard map runs fine..

..but going off what 'Adjusted' map I HAD TO RUN with the piggy back.. yours will be ultra rich low down and ultra lean high end....

..you'll soon have the engine out again pal..

however with decent managment.. you could have a dead reliable pocket rocket as the majority of the set-up seems functional at first gance
 
well last night had the car out for a few hours for the first time in a few days, was turning a corner and the oil light came on and then went off, within minutes of driving the knocking began :( not sure of what to do now, i have the mot in a month and i dont have the weather to rebuild another engine in my back garden and do an engine swap, how much is new bottom end shells from nissan???
 
£120 for main bearing shells, £80 for big end shells £110 for piston rings

i have got all of these sat up in my room at the mo. but theyre matched to block/crank so arent transferable.
 
yes of course you can, you need the number off the end of the crank weight and the number on the bottom of the block on the oil pump side, if you add the two numbers together you get the grades of the main bearing shells... big ends are a standard size.

so my numbers were 10112 and 11220 so the shells i need are 21332. did that make sence?

thats precision for you eh, no wonder these CG,s take a thrashin :wasntme:

stani, rebuilds can be a moneypit, whilst sound engines can be had for under £100, it,s not worth it imo :)

yeh i know what you mean, always wondered what those numbers were for!!! this time im gonna forge it as there lying around, what should i do people?? get the new shells for the block i have with the pistons or buy a separate engine and mix them together :p

Get a new engine with low mileage, and get it mapped properly this time.

How much is your insurance on the 1.3 turbo?
Click to expand...


its never been mapped before and all problems ive had isnt due to it not being mapped properly, and its around £1700 :doh: donations are welcome :blush:
 
lol, i would do what i am doing, run your car without turbo, then build up a spare engine with your new bits, take your time and do it right. get some new big end shells for the new engine and make it as strong as you can, afterall, you will hopefully only have to build it once.
 
thats what i was going to do but now its knocking away theres no point, unless it can knock for a while??? and i can get the money together again but christmas is an expensive time of year
 
if you put a turbo on it and map it with the ignition done properly it would be very fast defo faster then an un tuned car no doubt.

a well tuned low budget car with less boost can feel adn drive faster then a car with higher boost.
 
yeah, well mines a standard cg13de with two cats 140,000 miles, knakered bottom end and no piston rings, so compared to mine yours is a rocket ship!!

ok cheers buddy, it wont be for a good few months but still its handy to know :)
 
I'd imagine you would get a proper adaptor for the oil pressure switch and take your feed off that

the reason i said it is because it is clearly against the forum rules. the rules are there to make it easy to read any and all posts on a public forum. if you are after talking in txt speach then please feel free to pm each other. :grinning:

oh and Welcome. sorry my first post was a little blunt :doh:

What did you have to do to the boot to fit the nipples?
Click to expand...

remove the old reg plate, remove the pull handle and unclip the wiring for the lights, plug the holes, cut the new square plate and fit then measure out for the 3 holes (2 srcew and 1 for the bulb) per nipple and drill them out, then splice them into the wiring that was originally used, make sure you find out which is which first lol

and squarepants they are k10 ones :)
 
ok theres a chance i could have my car at this meet, today i stripped the (donor) engine down and took all the bottom end bits that i need from it, removed the ceased piston rings from the forged pistons and cleaned them up and fitted the other set of rings i had, then realised i left my piston ring compressor back in dundee so called it a day. so by saturday i should have the engine built, the engine out the car and the forged one fitted and running all for sunday :)

a couple of pics:

ill try to lol and see how your saying they are to fit the black crank etc, in what way would they be different?? would i fit them and they would be a different shape or stick above the flush of the block or would they be loose??
 
stani

they,re graded by size eh, on mine there were some numbers stamped on the bottom of the block (5 for the mains, and 4 for the b/e) antony mentioned it in a post a few days ago, and said you add the block number to the journal number, and thats the code thingy for the shell number
