I'm using ga16de a 2000 primera engine. And the pre face k11 1.0 gearbox.
Gearbox clearance is fine and if you blank the water pump off and use the 1.0 crank pulley so is the drivers side.
I'm going to solid mount the drivers side engine mount as the inlet mani is painfully close to the brake servo!!!
Overall not as bad as people make out.
I suppose the stock driveshafts work too because of the 1.0 gearbox yeah?
You have a great set up of the engine and box there as they fit nicey, what about wiring how was that, this swap isn't hard am guessing ? Are u using bush mounts

Thank you it's turning out very easy tbh.
I will be using the micra wiring loom with the micra's throttle body so I will only have to extend one coolant temp sensor and that will be it with the harness.
The drivers side engine mount is the only one I've had to change. I will be bolting and welding a large box section through the chassis rail then bolt the engine to that.
Obviously a strip of rubber between engine mount and block.
So the solid mount will ensure the engine or gearbox won't move.
Only downside is vibrations but i don't mind.
Yes mate drive shaft fit perfect
Sounds simple u shouldn't have any problems with bush mounts of the ford transit van, my car doesn't viabrate on idle or reving, are u local from SheffieldThank you it's turning out very easy tbh.

Mines been masked for like a week... Considering my number plate is "K11 OCD" it wasn't great!!I remember when mine was masked up haha so ordered a bung special delivery to bung it asap lol
I hadn't thought of transit bushes.
I'm based in Norwich mate.
Shafts should be fine only one way to find out !!! Haha
Should be more than man enough for the job then
Does ur old steering have 2 metal clips with wires on ? Looks a bit like the horn wires metal tabs

Had a chat today with a mechanic about these vortex exhausts. Guaranteed minimum 10% power and torque gain.
Made to measure on order, and guaranteed for life (stainless steel) also lower emissions.
Sounds like the business for a cheapish power gain...£786 delivered.
Anyone on here got one, or know who has one????
