what a great photo.. It seems like completely the wrong thing to do... needs a turbo

Bloody oath, fair go on Nissan. The air-fuel mix still gets to where it needs to go and in this instance it (the manifold) was applied to a very cost effective and compact vehicle meaning that space was a big influence on design and size was a big criteria for the vehicles success check-list. In amongst all this they had to compress all the emissions gear into the engine bay of a compact east west carburetted engine bay.

More design means more time, more time means more money. More money back then into the design of the Micra may have seen it die there and there.

It's a small sin given the context of it's time.

Its actually a single point injection manifold not carby
and the same design time using an E series manifold design
here would have made the difference in slow/economical to
zippy/economical. Even a 35 year older B10 has more go.

What's the big deal?

Write to Nissan.

The big deal? When I lived in japan from 1996 many Japanese
Nissan enthusiasts in the Nissan club I met there commented
in how poor the export eco nissan model cars fared in quality,
finish and performance so its good to run into these pics and
have a further understanding of what they where talking about.
Many countless short cuts hurt Nissan to the point where
Renault had to come in and unfortunately save them and poorly
tuned or lesser performing export versions musnt have helped.

I see.

So what engine was this featured on and have you any pictures of the single port injection?

You should have stayed in Japan and joined the Nissan engineers, you're an engineer aren't you?

please dont compare the b10 to a mm mm mmic mm micra

sorry, i struggle to even type the 2 in the same sentence

Well at least Nissan still make a B10-like vehicle. There's nothing like the B110 today.

b10-like? maybe b110 like :)
