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. 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. Newer than an A-series and only previous owners continued lack of basic maintenance could spoil things. 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. This was all discussed on the BBS just a few weeks ago, after it first appeared on the MASC Facebook pages. 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 stock dissy isnt mod friendly.Īt one time, Marsh Motorsport in NZ were doing a conversion kit to fit CG13DE into a 1200 with a turbocharger.MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Nissan CG engine conversion kit. This will allow you to get back close to the firewall. Seal of the stock CG dissy drive and fit a good crank trigger system like the Electromotive one (if using carbs) or just make up a Hall trigger system if injecting and using an after market ECU. Tig some alloy blocks on the bell housing for the remaining holes, redrill the block with new holes using an A series sandwich plate to locate bolt and dowel positions. The Micra CG13 in either turbo or supercharged form strips the gears in the stock box. The ET box is much stronger and has taller ratios than the stock box due to the diff ratio. Mods included new engine mount holes being made up, box dowels relocated to match the engine and a modified starter motor with adaptor plate made up as the starter engages the opposite way to the micra engine.( pull in versus throw out pinion). The box was from an E15ET and had to be extensively modded. Heads will bolt on between CGA3 and CG13, but differ.įeral helped with an E-series gearbox adaptation to CG engine. Gearboxes for CGA3 are heavier duty than CA13 Distributor: You have to change the location of the CGA13, but the CGA3 doesn't use a distributor, so that engine is preferable.Possibly the oil sump would have to be modified.But you would have to make a bell housing up Gearbox bolt pattern is different than A-series engine.It has to be converted to North-South instead of East-West to allow it to run RWD.CG13DE: 80kg (176 lbs) or 57 kg long engine w/o flywheel.* Compare to CR14DE: 98 PS, no distributor. Uses non-distributor multi-coil ignition. ft 4000 rpm, from Nissan K11 March/Micra. It used a custom plate and custom flywheel to adapt to a T50 toyota box. There is a Datsun 1200 in the Clevedon/Papakura in NZ that has forged piston and a Motec engine controller and puts out 165 HP.
