The Micra demanded it first blood from me today

Was my own fault, was wondering why I couldn´t get the nut from the tensioner pulley loose and slipped off.
Turns out I should have left the bolt inside because you cant get the nut loose without it doh.

But ahh well, hope I don´t have to open it up again anytime soon.

Td04 mate is good, how about td04 with td05 hibird

Partly cost,
Mostly cos the turbine housing is welded to the manifold, and it's a td04 9b specific turbine wheel size.

The chra and turbine are open, they can be any td04. As long as they have a td04-9b turbine wheel.....

It's grrrrr

Since ur doing about 150 bhp or max 200 even ur better off t25 which will spool faster and u got td04 Which makes it hybrid that's what I got td04 and t25

[Antony]

It definitely doesn't need to spool faster lol..

 

[Azzydot]

That would make a ideal turbo since u have the td04 same flange fitting, all u need is t25 for about 50 pounds eh

It has no flange... It's welded...

Ohh frank speed one, then start again

Can't.. I don't have time nor tools to start again.

If i get a td04 9b CHRA it will bolt straight in....

Bolt it in and weld a down pipe so it's removable on a flange

I don't have the time nor the tools to be welding anything..

I haven't got a Micra engine to make a jig for or I can have made that flange with my mig eh got always time for this

Don't get me wrong. I'd love a nice gt25rs ball bearing turbo... But it would be worth twice what the car is lol..

Not quite that much but a GT2554R would still set you back just under £600 new.

 

[Masy]

me first lil thing that i done to me car installed me first sub 1400w pioneer and JBL amp 600w (i think) either way it sounds pretty fat

 

[Antony]

Brokenededed......

 

[frank]

it dont look too bad ant, its ya ringlands not the tubby

 

[Azzydot]

Bought pulsar gtir front brake calipers with discs and pads, but I don't think they fit under 14inch steelies ?

[Antony]

Frank, I hope not.

The engine starts up fine, runs ok and isn't spitting any oil with the turbo disconnected.... Plus. The oil in in the inlet of the turbo... How'd it get there from the Ringlands going?

 

[pollyp]

looks like leaking oil out the compressor shaft seal, check the oil return is flowing free and the PCV breather is flowing freely.

Paid £18 for 48 delivery, you guessed it ..........didn't arrive.

I paid 20€ for 24 hours from barcelona to south spain. Two week later,still havent delivered

 

[Antony]

Right. After an investigation,

I was at full throttle and high boost when it went,

The intercooler pipe blew off and the huge release in pressure sucked oil out through the compressor seal and wrongied the turdo.

But it was on its way out anyway due to the excessive play in the shaft, general condition of the oil and Wear.
The shaft is worn to a lip where the bushings go....

The squealing under boost kinda points to the turbo too...

 

[frank]

there,s no "seal" as such on the turbo tho ant, just snug fitting bearings (and a springy collar/ring on the turbine end)
is the engine spraying oil mist out of that breather pipe that i fitted a sock to ?

 

[frank]

here,s my t15 when it was shagged ant (i cooked at mallory park) and i ran it like that down shakespere raceway 1/4 mile the following weekend !

 

[funkyboots]

Welcome
Get a thread up describing the issue and hopefully someone will know what's up and can sort you

thanks its adding. trying to find a chrome door handle for a ltd editon is a hoot...

Flipping heck frank. Thats just a tiny bit broke there. I'm surprised none of the turbine blades snapped :L

it still boosted ok ben i had promised to go to shakies that weekend, and did,nt have a spare tubby at the time
i floored it on the runs, but kept it below 4.5 k iirc

 

[Antony]

Mine was about 2mm in every direction. There's a collection of mist in the "sock" lol.

Just looking at the state of the parts and how it felt when it went.... It's propper buggered. Lol

I suppose I could fit it back together with a clean up and try again.

I'll probably order a new one too.

Might look into doing a hayabusa forged cga3 build....hmm.....

 

[frank]

Nah, you can see where mine had worn away the blades on the compressor wheel look, your ringlands have let go dude !
Any oil on the piston crowns when you look down the plugholes ?

They do, that's the set up I'm using, iirc I have 3mm (maybe 5mm) spacers to stop the calipers rubbing

Dunno yet...

 

[Antony]

Frank, what corsa pistons would fit the cg13 for lower comp ratio?

If I'm going to do this properly.... I'll need a lower cr.

 

[frank]

the pre twinport ones ant (72.5mm iirc) 1.0 or 1.2
the later twinport were a bigbore shortstroke design

That's good to hear but one thing they are so so heavy, can I use 14s steelies over them I don't like alloys

What bore is the cg13de then? Sorry. Questions galore...

71 innit, i used 72mm cga3 blocks personally but the cg should take the overbore ok

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Is there anyway i can tell the difference between a pre face CG10 flywheel and a facelift one? I am in need of a pre face CG10 flywheel for my CG13 swap in the Micra and i'm not having much luck finding one

 

[The Jamm]

Here's BAM A LAM with her new black alloys on, or off my old girl I should say. Bit of work to make them look good yet.
Just messing at this time.

Here's my old girl, how much do you think she was lowered by?

Did you make or buy your grilles? looks good

You put the pipercross in yet? Gave mine run today with it in, very good, smoothed the power delivery, more response mid range, and a little bit of induction roar.....quite happy with it. Set of new plugs will do nicely now.
