Oh and paint heat shield black. Use hi temp paint tho remember

Gunk engine degreeaser. Rinse off with water. Take off rocker cover. Paint crackle red. Fit Allen bolts in place of rubbish cross heads and use impact gun to remove the rubbish cross heads as they are prone to shear. And everyone knows when you paint the rocker cover red it adds 5bhp

So guys I've got a problem with micramini. We got to uni placement from mine yesterday on her longest single trip ever after her engine conversion. On the way here she over heated due to an unexpected coolent failure. However for the past few weeks she's had surging in the water system that I...

I'll post one when I get some time bud. If I was you measure your frame and make sure you have space to get the engine out the bay but leaving the gearbox in! And make sure you can get through crank pully off with the engine mounted or that will bite you in the are when you need to. Plus you can...

If your not sure what your doing then you better had do a lot of research. Bogg bros can make any manifold you want but if you have the skills then make it yourself. Cbr 600 cars run great on both the cg10and cg13 engines but you'll have to jet them accordingly. Unsure on the ignition side of...

Cheers for that pollyp. Doesn't sound too bad but I don't think I would get enough use out of it to justify buying one :( glad you found the source of that leak tho finally even though it's annoying to fix properly without a sumo off job!

Carbs are much cheaper however. You can run the micra dizzy and bike Carbs but I'm sure there's loads of threads on here about it. It will give you greater power but higher up and use more fuel :) but will go bwarrp when you rev!

Was it expensive? Or fairly reasonable?

Well you would need a manifold made to fit them. And also some stand alone management such as megasquirt for the fueling side of things. And some sort of larger injectiors to make up for the increased air flow

Done cbr 600 carbs :) they are fun but not idea about throttle bodies

Definitely not jealous of that. Looks like a tidy install. I want to add a electronic clutched supercharged to mini. Then she'll have a sport button!

I like pork's design but I don't think that would fit my micramini :( plus 4-1 isn't the best for torque I thought?

What's the idea? I remember seeing another post about diy manifolds using a flange from and egr from some vw I think

Run your alternator backwards inside the drivers wing and you'll tidy up the engine bay also. Just a tip from another micramini owner

Pop some spring washers on there too with the Allen head bolts. Then you don't have to worry about them possibly coming loose

Cheers guys. Unfortunately not. I got so engrossed with what I was doing and forgot. It was noticeable on the intake side that it was about 5degrees retarded. Driving her today she seems to want to pull a lot lower down and overtook lovely in 5th

Righ then, this is now all up to date. Need to put a limit of the throttle cable to counterbalance my heavy foot if I'm not careful! The video finally uploaded. This is the one driving round a car park with some acceleration fun with pops and bangs :) That was taken the other week Today I...

12th july 2015 update Had the evening off Friday and Saturday free to play in the garage :) Decided on the way home from uni on the bike that stuff it I'll do the engine change! But only if I can get the engine out but leave the gearbox in! Using precision mathematics I calculated that in...

Needed to tidy my gearbox mount as it was cutting into the carpet Tidied up Covered in sound deadening to try and cut down on engine gasses creeping in so mucH Carpet cleaned up and refitted Interior all back in And then back to the engine New headgasket (£15 bargain) Head placed on...

Had a breakdown on the 6th June. Waterpump belt went unfortunately mid journey so had to drive about a mile to the girlfriends with no waterpump going. On examination in the morning I found that the waterpump bearing had gone with 2mm play side to side. Most likely causing the premature belt...
