    Yeah, the QC on that Jenvey kit is non-existent for sure and piss poor in my opinion. I don't know why they changed it from the 'kit' I have. We still had to make the throttle linkage but that was quite simple in comparison to all the fiddling you have clearly had to do. Zero excuse....period...

    Our last run was 93kW @ 7250rpm on a bone stock CG13DE running 264deg cams, exhaust and Jenveys..... On the subject of Jenveys, those new style units seem like quite a bodge with all the fiddling you had to do. If you look further up in the thread you can see the differences from the original...

    You'll make that easily, even on a base run-in tune. I'd say you ll end up around 110kW ;)

    Micro and Maxi Micra project articles.

    Nice to have it all in one big lump like that rather than in a blog, keeps it nice a neat. My only comment is to correct your torque figures ;)

    K11 Gearbox

    If you are referring to splitting the gearbox and removing the top casing, then you need to lift the casing to clear the dowels and rotate it around 20deg counter clockwise or there abouts, (I think it's counter clockwise), it will also require some tilting, (maybe 5deg from horizontal), to get...

    My Daily Micra

    'Sadly' EBB seemed to avoid most opportunities to give specifics in his blogs when people asked for info or help. His main driver seemed to be doing things and making people guess what the results were, then posting them up with little in the way of explanation. After a while, frustration grew...

    The Micra Picture Thread (pt.2)

    The trend over here is to fit larger than needed rims, stretch a set of thinner tires over them and dial in some silly camber to avoid the arches getting ripped out. If larger than needed rims are not available then spacers make do to give that stanced look everyone seems to be shooting for...

    Or go to SS Autochrome, (http://www.ssautochrome.com/), and buy one instead of modifying something from another car to fit.

    Totally! I know exactly what you mean, the typical cycle on the UK forums is to buy a load of stuff, run out of money, sell it on again and watch things repeat themselves. VERY few seem to have any concept of a plan or overall objective. Some parts have probably seen half a dozen owners and...

    Nice job!! There's something about Aeroquip style fittings, braided lines and aluminium fabrication that looks so darn good ;) We're waiting on a set of CP pistons and billet cams here before we can complete the engine, (couldn't get the profile we wanted out of a Nissan OEM cast blank dammit!).

    My little beast

    Here's an overlay using the Tomei ARMS 7760 turbo as a guide, (ARMS 7960 is pretty non existent on the WWW). Flow calculations have been based on a 1293cc engine assuming a typical 0.5mm overbore.

    My little beast

    Finding compressor maps for the ARMS 7960 is rather challenging but from what I can find out it's a little closer to a TD05-20G, so in a CG13 boost threshold is more likely to be 4000rpm or more and that turbo will 'JUST' be getting into it's peak efficiency range at 8500rpm, so will be sat very...

    BCrews / Mullholland K11 Parts

    Top Man! :) Will shoot a mail over. Didn't realize BCrews website was gone. I ended up on some website with their stuff on last night, was real cruddy but I am used to Japanese websites looking like they were made in MS Word back in the 90's, so didn't think anything of it lol!

    BCrews / Mullholland K11 Parts

    Hi All, For those of you who get parts over from Japan such as kovert.k11 & Majiga I would like to know if you use a source other than websites such as import monster etc. The reason is I am looking for someone who has the ability to track down parts from various sources in Japan like...

    We turned & welded up an alloy spacer for the OEM master cylinder on our first build. Cost #### all and didn't require any new lines. Braked fine but didn't leave much room for a filter arrangement but it was only done to get the car setup quickly. How do you plan to rig everything up on the...

    Engine Machining/Other Engine Bits

    Nail on head dude ;) couldn't have put it better myself I dis-guarded anything anyone had done previously and went out on my own and did everything as a package specific to our needs, not a combination of bolt on crap. Consequently it means our solutions have ended up being completely...

    Hahaha! Seems more than one of us needs to be committed then. Only those who own fast cars seem to think people like us are nuts to be putting this much effort into a K11. The usual comment is, 'why don't you sell it and buy something faster'......when they get the response of, 'I already do own...

    It will be a tight fit I'm sure. The nice thing with the shorter throttlebody units is you have more room to play with horn lengths should you have any problems. Ours are quite short already at 40mm and there's not much scope to change due to the throttlebody elements being 60mm from...

    Engine Machining/Other Engine Bits

    That's exactly what we are doing, we run an alloy pulley but only because it was available and a) it underdrives the alternator & water pump and b) has an integral 36-1 timing wheel which was convenient for us. The whole assembly was internally balanced with out issue for the pulley, flywheel...
