make sure you take plenty of decent photo's as all the threads ive read on 16v are vague on details.

ive got a micra myself that im planning on shoe horning into a mini, when i find a suitable mini candidate to fit my budget.

there's plenty on mod that can be done to these engines with simple stuff like opening up the extremely restrictive exhaust (they have 2 cats) throttle body from a Ga15, fuel regulator can see the little engine push up to 75fwkw unopened, unlike the swift 1.3L the micra has more potential, if you want to go boosted and rebuilding the automatic micra's have a stronger head than the manual.

check out these micra forums once your ready to modify the engine after its in, on micra.com.au theres a guy who was pushing 130fwkw in his turbo k11

I will be starting this conversion in the next month or so...

My 'dream' 1460 A series build has been sitting with the engineer for nearly 2 years now with very little progress.

I have a perfectly fine CG13DE engine and 'box sitting here just begging to be dropped in :) the thing I really like about the Nissan engine is that I can fit it without body mods so if my 1460 ever gets finished all I have to do is source a new subframe and drop it in.

If anybody is interested I may do a build thread...
