i know this may sound abit wierd but has any one ever thought about putting a 1.3l nissan micra engine in a 1000 or is it to hard due to the engine originally being fwd instead of rwd

This conversion has been done in NZ for a 1200 race car so it is possible. I can't recall the gearbox that was used but from what I heard the whole package went well and was potent in the 0-1300cc race class.

I cant think of what motors are in Micras... I know they use CVT transmitions.

I recon you would be better off dropping a A15 in it!

cg18de are the micra engines was just wondering if it was do able as i am now not going to put a ca in my ute and can get a 1000 coupe for cheap with alot of parts for it and wanted to do something different other wise i would use an a15

do it .... it is do'able, datrats looked into it and there is a heap of performance parts for them ... all alloy lighter than the a series and from memory not too difficult to to swing north south

wouldnt a cg18de be a 1.8? or do you mean cg13?

Probably do-able. But you would have to make a bell housing up and sort out your engine mounts. Possibly a sump would have to be modifyed.

Probably would fit and if your after something different, go for it!

ha ha yeah sorry ment cg13 was thinking ca18 in my head for some reason and the only thing thats worrying me about the conversion is the box and bell housing as i dont really want to get one custom made also if i were to turbo it would it be able to be enginered in nsw if i did brakes etc

Hey mate where abouts in Sydney are you in?

If you can figure out a gearbox, go fot it, I think it would be a great light engine!

In terms of turbo, I think it would be okay, on the theory that ca18 turbos are registerable in NSW but sr20 turbos arnt, based on the original weight of the care and engine displacement.


cheers, Ian

im on the northern beaches

the most dificult part its de dizzy.....you have to change de location in de cg13 engine, but in Portugal we have the cga3 too its 1.4 liters 82 cv manual transmition and uses independent igintion coils
