brapp brapp!
You could try Hi-tec in Cradley Heath for a power run at £30...
The guy down there seems very friendly.
Let me know if you decide to go down there, and I'll bring mine down for a power run also
just outta interest.

Car has now been re-mapped again, now using a Nismo FPR.
A few recent pics:
As usual things never go to plan, i intended to get the car RR'd at the begining of January. Now the ECU is sorted other problems have cropped up.
MOT in February, once thats sorted ive got to get a new uprated clutch, new front engine mount bush and a flexi intalled in my downpipe. After that hopefully a Power Run.
Im happy enough with the power now, and ive certainly achieved (eventually) what i intended to do, and that was to create a car that was capable of giving hot hatches a good run for their money and get me somewhere nearish to mid 7 second 0-60's and 15 second 1/4 mile times.
Cant wait till summer, Bring on the strip and track days!

It drives much smoother now with the remap on the Nismo FPR. The FSE FPR wasnt completely at fault though, the ECU itself has some strange things going on, and refused to inject large quantities of fuel at less than 3900rpm creating some rather large flatspots. We got round it in the end and it drives much better now.
Had a play with a CTR the other night and he couldnt shake me off, even when i had a car full of heavy tools. Top end speed is quite impressive too, I think it will easily top 125mph now, if not more.
AFRs are sitting at a very rich 11:1 under boost and the ignition timing is very conservative, so theres more power there for the taking. Just keeping it safe for now.

Hi! Nice car! I´m faszinated!
Were did you get the new ECU!
You have a 1.4l engine but you also write that you have an 1.6l cylinder head? How does this work?
They are different!
I wish I would live in UK! In Germany it´s very hard to get some more power!

The ECU (which is made in Germany) is from a K11 Nissan Micra and mapped by Fusion Motorsport.
The 1.4 and 1.6 engines share basically the same engine, just different capacity and very minor differences. The head goes straight on with no modification.
Yes I read that this is a BOSCH product! But K11 is interesting!
I know that the GA14 and GA16 are very similar but the bores and stokes are different! So how do you get a 1.4l piston in a 1.6l head? Or do you use 1.6l pistons!
Have you any problems with the clutch?

Thats misterious!
The combustion chamber can´t have the same size cause one is an 1.6l and the other is an 1.4l! Bores and strokes of both engines are different!
Bore:
1.4l 73.6mm
1.6l 76.0mm
Stroke
1.4l 81.8mm
1.6l 88.0mm
So good luck with the new clutch! Do you use an GA14 clutch! I found only 1.6l clutches!

i love the white u hardly ever see white meras
The car passed its MOT last week.
Was a bit concerned about the emissions test, especially since my lambda sensor is currently disconnected (its faulty). But yeah it went through okay, no car swapping required.
No Advisories given.
If youre interested, the emissions readings were:
Fast Idle Test
CO - 0.02 % (Limit =< 0.20%)
HC - 72 ppm (Limit =< 200ppm)
Lambda - 1.029 (Limit 0.97v - 1.03v)
Natural Idle
CO - 0.00%

see you there!

brapp brapp!
Did you not go with the wideband lambda sensor in the end then Dale?

brapp brapp!
Are you going to go to aldon again at any time?, as I live literally 2 mins away
Also Dale, I'm in the process of having some titanium conrod bolts made at mates rates if you fancy a set for the future?
Gonna be getting a price in the next few months as soon as I've ripped my engine apart
They're most likely gonna be cheap as my dads mate owns a bolt company.
