Second what skymera said. You have a rare attribute much of the msc do not have and that's back bone. As much as you wore down nearly everyone here with your inability to listen to advice and just general need to be spoon fed... You have proved us all wrong. You got stuck in.. And you did it. You did it where 99% of people give up. I take my hat off to you sir. I mean Jesus... I didn't even build my car.. You one above me my friend. Well done. Actually quite jealous.

Ohh thank u everyone only way when I didn't come on msc for months was a way what @pollyp said google things and read advice so that's wat I did and go really down to it, 3 memebers has seen my car in my drive way they was shocked they never knew it was sleeper turbo, and it's very neatly done, rare spec parts into it, my next Micra will be 2,0 turbo on my list after I get this one running

Yes that's wat I done it fits in and holds it with the old bracket from the old k11 fan holder, doesn't catch and works fine now, I look the sump off today so I can redo my turbo drainage pipe so it's under the turbo without any twist and bends, I took it off and I found the oil is mixed with water ? That's not normal ?

Condensation from unsealed gasket?

Or worst case scenario a head gasket failure but its not creamy coloured

Head gasket was done by 2 gasket and right settings it was all tested on compression test ? I haven't even reved more then 2k revs so am not sure wat it is

Condensation most likely mate unless you have a gasket issue somewhere which is causing oil to be mixed with water.

Could even be from the engine being sat so long or when you had the engine sitting ready to go in?

Yes the sump sealed good, and I will try again maybe it's sat to long and might need to check again with fresh oil and see wat happens

Ahh I see your giggle pin is loose mate ;).

get a new stanly blade on the two surfaces ie the sump and block to give it a good clean up to make sure it will have a good seal next time.

Looks messy from what I can see.

u can compare the sumps now that's why I changed them over at the start coz the sump pipe was too bendy as for drainage that's the top sump, now look at the new fitting one on bottom it fits in nice no twist, and the sealant is good and thick

I think I found the problem, really happy now, the head gasket is fine, when u took the sump off it looked like water ? Well if smelled of petrol am guessing it was and not water due to bigger injectors it was over fueling and not warming the engine up so petrol went in the engine, that's coz I haven't got my base map on yet, and I was thinking it's water, Tommow I will top oil in so it will have a good seal, and I won't start it up till I get my base map so no over fueling

If theres fuel in the oil I'd do a full oil change as fuel will dilute the oil and ruin its lubricating properties

Look good azzy. When clearing gaskets off with blades make sure its a flat one and a new one to prevent scratching the surface.

Also looks like you used plenty of sealant on that sump eh. Lets hope it hasnt been pushed out and protruding into the engine...

Not enough demand and most people prefer to do it them self so they know its done properly ect ect :). Not saying everyone else has done it wrong mind you :)

all these turbo micras? How many do you think there are?

Kits not worth doing, not enough people, and micra people are cheap, we pay little for everything
