need help folks, im thinking of either putting a 1.3super s engine in my micra or selling it and getting a corsa sri or a mini but don't know what to do, opinions please B
proper mini, bmw mini is pash imoMat.T said:do you want a proper mini? or bmw
Dr Zoidberg said:i was looking at minis a while back, the vtec conversions. always been tempted to put a 100bhp cg13de in a mini
micra_B said:think i might put the 1.3 in it then, would i be better putting the engine and box from the super s or keep my 1.0 box? B
it will work but i would need 2 put the 1.0 flywheel on it, just wondered whether the 1.3 was geared differently or is a better box? Bscottish-sr said:The 1L box will work (I think). It might be easier trying to source an engine with the box attached so it just drops straight in.
It has a different final drive ratio so the 1.3 Micra can go faster, dunno if the thrust bearings are tougher or owt like that. Also, as JayY said, all the 1.3 engines are in the same tune regardless of the model of Micra. Onthat note, what about transplanting a 1.4 engine from one of the last K11 Micras?hughes_16v said:should be a stronger box i think. and clutch is stronger so a change of clutch should be on the list to
is ithe 1.4 just a straight swap? does it not have NATS ? i know with the 1.3 i just need 2 change the engine and keep my 1.0 ecu and wiring loom.squigbobble said:It has a different final drive ratio so the 1.3 Micra can go faster, dunno if the thrust bearings are tougher or owt like that.

for some reason they not too keen on the words 'engine swap' and 'modified'
also more likely to have anti roll bars etc

i could get the 1.3 super s engine and box fully fitted for about £400 max so i think buyin a super s probably would be more expensive BK11SS said:you should also change ecu with the engine n in i have been were you are now looking at 1L -> 1.3L i just bought a super s n i was well happy with it.
i may be selling mine jus after new year so u may want to buy mine but if so ill speak wit u bought that in another madia
it is easier and cheaper buying new car trust me i did the maths on it!

It'll almost certainly have NATS or somet' similar, dunno how straight a swap it is. I didn't know u could run a 1.3 on a 1.0 ECU though.micra_B said:is ithe 1.4 just a straight swap? does it not have NATS ? i know with the 1.3 i just need 2 change the engine and keep my 1.0 ecu and wiring loom.
