![]() ![]() The 5 speed conversion will be on sale as soon as all the parts are in stock, with costs looking like they will be similar to the ribcase version, An A-Series 5 speed is in development as well. The camshafts fitted as standard are exceptionally conservative but there are plenty regrinds and billet performance camshafts on the market The engine itself weights 77kg with all ancillaries so the overall improvement to the power to weight is actually rather good. I was advised that this will equate to around 88bhp at the flywheel allowing for a 20% loss in the drivetrain. I am running 36mm Mikuni carbs and my own 4-1 exhaust manifold. The engine is a standard 1275 has over 100k miles with no service history. ![]() This week I had the development car on the rolling road at Stanton Motorsport and achieved 73hp at the rear wheels. Regarding performance the aim of the conversion was never to set the world on fire, more to provide an alternative way of getting decent road performance and durability without changing the feel of the car. Hi, I'm James from Barratt Engineering, hopefully I can answer a few questions regarding the kit I've developed. I’d be interested to know what the cam timing is for the standard cams. Write up in latest Mascot of conversion - looks promising to me - 1275 easily tuned to 90 bhp with only manifold mods.īoth fully reversible with out any body mods ! Here is the recent thread on the Nissan Micra CG engine which is maybe from 1992 to 2002 K11 model cars : “ This was all discussed on the BBS just a few weeks ago” It was replaced with a 'pre-owned' version of the next model of Micra only because one came up at a bargain opportunity. My neighbour had a 'pre-owned' K11 for a good number of years and it never got touched, other than body panels against random static objects. The CG engine is a 1.0 L, 1.3 L or 1.4 L straight-4 piston engine from Nissans Aichi Kikai division. It also had recent evidence of a learner driver. The one spark plug that was already out of the car when it arrived was in a state but was reused, only part added in was a used fuse. Only today I saw a video of a K11 Micra in a sorry state but once the ignition switch fuse had been replaced it fired up. VG engines displace between 2.0 and 3.3 liters and feature an iron block and aluminum heads at a 60 vee-angle. ![]() The VG series was introduced in 1983, becoming Nissan's and Japan's first mass-produced V6 engine. Newer than an A-series and only previous owners continued lack of basic maintenance could spoil things. The VG engine family consists of V6 engines designed and produced by Nissan for several vehicles in the Nissan lineup. It's a Nissan engine, and before Renault really got into Nissan so surely better built than an A-series so it would be more reliable in standard and tuned form. Rocket Bunny V2 Boss Nissan Silvia S14 Engine Nissan SR20DET, 2. This was all discussed on the BBS just a few weeks ago, after it first appeared on the MASC Facebook pages. TRA Kyoto Designed (CG Renderging shown, actual production items my change slighly). I only posted out of general interest- I’ll stick with my mildly tweeked 1275. I certainly would expect a tuned engine to have good reliability and installation is totally reversible. I don’t know a great deal about the engine but it does Rev well (standard 7200 red line) and the 1300 is very tuneable to figures well above A series/ 1500’s. Why would anyone do so? 65 bhp of Midget 1275 vs around 75 odd for the Nissan thing? Not exactly transformational.ħ5 bhp easily obtained from a mildly breathed on A series or 1500 as well. Bit expensive from £1275.Īnyone fitted one ? - it needs no cutting to fit, just need to supply own engine. In the latest Practical Classic’s mag are details of a kit to fit a Nissan Micra twin cam engine (1992- 2002) to a Spridget.įits to a rib case box and includes exhaust manifold, engine mountings, conversion ring, clutch and bits etc etc. The CR engine was manufactured in the following versions - as of 2013 only the CR12DE is still in production.MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Nissan CG engine conversion kit.
