Revision as of 12:34, 30 July 2007

The Nissan CG series of small-bore engines are excellent 16-valve all-alloy designs, lighter even than the A12 engine. There is a heap of performance parts for the CG series. This conversion has been done in NZ for a 1200 race car so it is possible.

• CG10,
• CG13DE, 75 PS 1.3 liter (1275 cc), 76 lb. ft @ 4000 rpm, from Nissan March/Micra
• CGA3, 82 PS, 80 lb. ft @2800 rpm , 1.4 liter (1348 cc) from 2000-up Micra, uses non-distributor multi-coil ignition. Bore: 71.0, Stroke: 82.8mm.

Swap

• Gearbox bolt pattern is different than A-series engine. Only FWD gearboxes are available. But you would have to make a bell housing up
• Sort out your engine mounts
• Possibly the oil sump would have to be modified
• Distributor: You have to change the location of the CGA13, but the CGA3 doesn't use a distributor, so that engine is preferable

Discussions:

• Micra engine in a 1000
