@will930 As so happen to be i have a full balancing machine park and can tell for sure that your comment,,,,,smells like a sack of """" There is no need whatsoever for a rebalance of the rotating parts in the engine if the pistons are 4 gr lighter....:laugh: Yes , better belive it , this...

On my list over DIY modifications i have done, with this level in the Maxi Micra set up, the inlet manifold and high-compression pistons can be checked out. Inlet manifold = more capacityFINISHED DIY Pistons = Higher compression / lighter. FINISHEDDIY Camshafts = DIY More lift...

@baguete Thanks mate :) Will be some more perculiar stuff coming in soon:laugh:

@mcmekenziecz They will be fine with N20 as long as i get some other things sorted out in that process.

@Low rider That depends on the mood im in :) just kidding,,,it depends on the material that the piston is made of and the " consitstency" of the material. i have two way of doing that : -digitally controlled owen and run cycle -Throw them into a case of australian quarts " sand " and...

Thak you all again for comments:grinning: @superls The filler is a ALu-tig rod for such work with added ,,,hm,,,silicium i think it is. Have used this kind of rods for many years now for such work and they always work well.. The pins & piston assembly each, weighs in at 4 grams LESS...

Well guys , here is the rest of the piston modification : Now for the welding itself. Have to preheat , weld , more preheat and building material in a controlled manner. Here a have started the first “ run “ of the welding process After some work it is easy to see whats going on...

i will not test this inlet as a separate thing on this project. As mentioned i will mess around with the in-manifold , pistons , camshafts and the cylinderhead , the OEM modified ex-manifold and in the end a diy built 4-2-1 ex-manifold . But there might be another micra fan who will test...

@alexzaki time will tell :)

@1275 As your pictures show , a good solution there. Have tried it and works fine :)

I belive it is good for the communitiy that we have "mad " people like Frank and others. Thats what all this is about , people who want to dig into the stuff and show others what they find (Y)

Oki , on my list of modifications to do the one in RED is done : Inlet manifold = make more efficient / increase capacity Pistons = make a high compr version out of the stock 1,3 pistons Cylinderhead = increase capacity , increase compression Valve lifters = modify to lighter and...

@shaun Good :) @Superls swopping parts are not my type of DIY , i like to do it the difficult way and as i said ; " with using the OEM parts from the 1,3 engine as much as possible :)

First , thanks again for all the positive comments , appreciate it:grinning: This manifold will indeed not bring out miracle numbers at this stage. It is rather built for the future of the Maxi Micra and whats coming later on this mad trip on steroids :) It is integrateed with what i...

@Matt Pm answered :)

@Frank Thanks man :) @Noddie If you read further up in my posts you will find this that i wrote : "My only demand is ; USING AS MANY STOCK OEM PARTS AS I POSSIBLE CAN IN THE PROCESS " That is the only reason for using the OEM manifold. And having done many such projects like this...

Last part of the Maxi Micras inlet build : Now I will Tig-weld together all the modified parts and I use a piece of aluminium bolted onto the flange of the manifold that will hold the 2 parts together correctly. Cranking up the Tig-machine and lay down some melted aluminium , first at...

@1275 Thanks for thanks :) @Alexzaki Nissan probably just had a totally different view on things than we have :)

Oki lads , here are more of the ” Evo ” inlet build for the Maxi Micra. Have now chopped up the manifold and shall start machining throughout the intake manifolds runners and plenum. I have marked up my new dimensions with a marking pen and commence with the work. As i go along I check...

I bow into the dust and thank you all for comments :) It gives me great pleasure to contribute to the Micra scenes and sharing the material i gather as i happily join a learnful ride myself with these small cool cars :) All this was never intended , it just is a natural result of me being...
