Post subject: | micra CG13 conversion |
i thought there was a thread i started a while ago about this but i can`t find it i may have hi-jacked someone elses thread anyways,,, we had a bit of a slow-down period on this , simply waiting for a friend to get his ar$e back here to finish off some stuff well,, now he`s finally arrived & ripping in again the subframe is basically finished except for some neatening up & a few little gussetts & such,,, still yet to throw it back into a car body to make sure it`s all squeezed in nice so we`ve made some axles, they`re done we`ve made an exhaust manifold (extractors) so they`re done & been jet hot coated & we`ve sorted an Alternater & braketry & pulleys & tensioner etc (major drama but nearly sorted) & we`ve created a turbo manifold & dump pipe, just have to clean up the welds & get it jet-hot coated now But today we got back onto the inlet manifold for Yamaha R1 Bike carbs it`s a real tight squeez but it`s happening more coming so,,, yes we are making 3 subframes,,, one for Clive N/A with R1 Bike carbs & coated extractors one for me , Turbo injected & a spare,,, but don`t all rush me for the spare frame cause we havn`t finished my frame yet |

Great job. I'm watching this one very closely. I'd like to do a conversion on my spare Mini one day. Either this engine or the Swift GTI. |

The extractors look great. I too like to get mine ceramic coated. Makes a massive difference to the overall look. Nice work |

We have another Tig welder now so as soon as Dale is back from playing silly buggas elswhere we`ll get back onto both inlet systems Clive`s is the R1 bike-carby system, with the shiney extractors & mine is the turbo injected one , still yet to sort the intercooler but it`s looking like a top-mount will be the simplest |

Post subject: | Re: micra CG13 conversion |
well,,, to be a little more accurate it`s actually a GT25-54 but that may be just getting a bit picky of me i`m pretty sure it`s the smallest Ball-bearing type jobby available from Garrett |

coming along nicely, sorry it`s taking so long, relying on a few different people helping on this project it`s also stop start type work with moving all my dads stuff & cleaning up his properties but they`re pretty-well done now so all hands on deck Inlet manifold almost finished subframe just needs a tidy-up, sand blast, etch-prime & paint exhaust extractors done & now just to finish off the alternator pulley & tensioner etc Yamaha R1 bike carbs going onto Clives (this one) so just a little fiddle with length & fitment into dummy-body-shell shortly to confirm it all clears & we`re done after these 3 frames are done i don`t think we will be doing any more Jap eng conversions i think i`ll spend more time on the Bimmer Twinkys that way |

Frames coming along nicely manifolds made alternator brakets made inlet systems (x2) made) now the fun begins setting it all up to make em run sorry, for some reason photobucket isnt playing the game atm i`ll have to play with it later the sub-frames are all wire brushed, blasted, etch primed & 2-pak painted ready to whack the donk in & shove it into the car now still lots of work to go, however these are a bit of a side-line thing for us so std-issue mini customers come first, then when we get a bit of spare time we work on these & the Bimmer Twinkys of course not making any more subframes tho, we have all out own stuff to get done now, race minis & monaco fastback conversions & getting our station wagons ready to run & sorting a few issues on my race-buggy, so sorry to all & everyone who have asked about any more getting done, computer says no cheers & thanks for gorking Matt 0407 135 656 |
