I have some more pics from yesterdays work Here is the comparison pics between ma10 and cg10. As you can see, very different fitment for the mounts. Maybe the k11 mounts fit the k11 box and k10 chassis. I doubt it though Cg10 is bolted to the engine in these pics My car has a different distributor and different wiring. I can't seem to find out where these wires go to. I think they go to the coil. Its been so long since I touched old teck like this. More used to injection to be honest. Here's the dizzy. The dizzy on my ma10 has a screw in the top of the vacumm advance. Also only has 2 spade connections. Coil and earth. Iam guessing the dizzy in the pic below is off of a facelift ma12 Ma10 alternator on the cg13 bracket. As you can see it needs a spcer making up for the bottom mount. Also the belt is very slightly out of line so that needs adjusting. Oh and the pulley is too big for the shaft. So I need to make a collar to take up the slack. Engine is already to go

Well funny you should say that!!! I primed the fuel pump by touching the wire on the battery, the pump isn't wired in yet because iam not sure where its going to be fitted as yet. Also the fuel reg is leaking because I didn't have any ptfe tape for the inlet and outlet. Ill fix that tomorrow. The alternator pulley is hitting the chassis rail and the engine doesn't sit square in the engine bay. Ill investigate that tomorrow. I haven't had chance to make the down pipes or the system yet, I need to go and use my mates pipe bender. However I gave the throttle a few pumps, used a screwdriver to hold the chokes slightly closed and then I turned the key It clicked from the starter!! Turned it again!! Engine started to turn slowly, then slightly faster Then it started running I turned it off with the key, It didn't stop itself! I forgot to film it so went and got the camera and set it up. I tried to start it again and it was turning very sluggish and I was getting some kick back. The timing is obviously quite far out need a strobe! I thought the pulley touching the chassis leg isn't helping so wedged the engine over a mm or so to get some clearance. tried again and it just kicked back on the starter and then the battery had, had enough it wouldn't charge up properly anyways so I need a new one! Any ways iam over the moon! And looking forward to testing it again with a full exhaust and fuel system all sorted

Cherry bomb tailbomb. Really happy with it. 75mm x 480mm body, 50mm id inlet, 65mm tailpipe and they also made the tail pipe 3 inches longer for me so I can have sticking out the back a long way haha Can't complain for £40 delivered within 3-4days, also got 4 metre of 50mm bosal exhaust tubing, hopefully ill be able to get it all bent up in the next day or two Alternator all mounted and new belt fitted. Luckily the new belt has 2 teeth less width. Ideal becauise the alternator is well out of alignment with the bottom pulley. Alternator tensioner bracket You can see in this pic that the alignment isn't great still, not bad though! Manifold all mounted with stainless nuts, washers and bolts. Love how the dipstick is easier to use than with the standard manifold lol Engine bay before the engine went back in. It needs cleaning, priming, painting and then all the little gay bits need hiding/tucking This is one of the lowest points on the car, lca mount, and this is before the engine went in. Haha, yes I know, it needs to be lower. That can wait until I can afford corsa coilovers for it instead Throttle cable is just slightly too short, need another 2-3inches. Hoping a primera or s13 one will do the job :nod: Alt pulley rubbing chassis rail, thisll get turned back on a lathe tomorrow at workies. And will make up the neccessary sleeves and spacers Clutch cable is very close to the carbs, I had to remove the metal curvey sleeve thingy Here's the engine bay as it was left yesterday after getting it running I could do with some help from someone who is good with carbs and dizzy, cose its kicking back a fair bit and iam unsure which way is advance/retard ect ect. Damn iam so out of touch with this old skool teck

Sparks are from alternator pulley rubbing on chassis rail, the wedge fell out of the engine mount the pulley will get machined back tomorrow The manifold is blowing in places because my welder died so couldn't finish it properly. And the pipe is just slid into the y piece with no clamp. The cherry bomb is on t'other end of pipe but is clamped on. Also there is no gasket between manifold and head.

Mine was on a moved top mount, K11 alternator on K11 non PAS bracket with non PAS belt and hybrid engine steadies, mounting brackets and mounts. I detailed the whole process from this page onwards in my readers rides threadHad a similar issue with the clutch cable but not as badly, maybe due to bike carbs or engine position.

Hey thanks for all the tips and links, its all very useful stuff and a good read also :nod: I have done a fair bit more but kinda forgot to update lol. Yeah was tempted to do a phat scoop or nismo vent with visible welds and bare metal. Was worried it'll look really cheesy though Here is some progress. Alternator spacer Top hat spacer/sleeve for the alternator pulley. K10 alt with k11 multi vee pulley and I mchined back the pulley so it won't rub anymore. The four branch very nearly complete. Needs welds re doing in places and a general tidy up

Manifold is 100% completed!! Just waiting on some flanges and another cherry bomb silencer, although I gotta email my sixes over before the next cherry bomb is made for me. Also need to find someone who can bend my pipe for me, I need 2 x 90* mandrel bends. The pipe bender I was gonna use only fits upto 42mm Last bit of update. The 4 speed has blown up. Right the 5 speed is actually a 95% straight swap. The gearbox will bolt into the car with no issues if you use the k11 mounts!! These didn't come with the k11 box that I have here, so ill go get some tomorrow. The box will bolt straight upto the engine and the k10/k11 prefacelift clutch. The gearchange fork needs cutting off of the shaft and turning through 90* then re welding. Although it maybe possible to remove the fork from the gearbox (drive out rollpin) and refit at 90* (drill new hole for rollpin). Ill update the 5 speed shizzle once I know what the crack is Oh and one other thing, I have sourced some second hand corsa coilovers. So I can go mega lows now

Here's another few pics of the finished manifold. It still needs cleaning up and rust treating, then ill VHT paint it. Followed by some heat wrap, maybe blue wrap. Would prefer some grey wrap if I can get it Cheers Kev

Can someone advise me on whether a lucas high performance coil would be a good upgrade for this engine? Bare in mind that its using a k10 electronic dizzy (not points) and a 1988 k10 998cc coil!! I have one here, its doing nout and I would like to fit it to the micra

Internet and books I have here say no, I can't use it Its designed for points ignition with a 12v feed My car has no points and a ballast resistor which is a 9v system. You can use the coil with points dizzy that has been converted to electronic (lumeniton ect) but not OE electronic systems. Good thing is though if you know where to look you can find the exact coil I need for £17.50 + delivery lol demon tweeks sell the exact same coil for £38.55 + vat + delivery. They really are theiving scum lol.

Progress is looking good!
Corky Bell notes in his turbocharging book that the holes of the manifold flange should have some expansion slots otherwise there might be problems with the fitment when it expands due to the heat.

Ok chap, thanks for the tip ill look into it, although the heat generated will be much less than a turbo setup Some supplies came yesterday That's primer, thinners and wet and dry. A nice new, small washer bottle kit arrived as well, this will be hidden somewhere as well, but not sure where just yet. Also got these numberplate lights yesterday, not sure if I like them :? They are smaller than the standard ones but a little too curvy I think. I reckon squarer ones would look better and fit the lines of the car more

Hi Kev,
You are crazy! I forgot about your car. You have been a busy boy. You should sent me gasket, I got them flanges maden it for you.
I got few flanges data now. I have starting to make turbo manifold kit for G13B Gti.
Have you still got those engines and parts you were selling? Many of us from 16v mini tried to get in touch with you, I think.
Cheers Atchi

Mental! Not really my scene but not much is done without old K10 makes me wish I still had mine. I kinda miss it's simple rugged charm!
As for wheel colours. Black dish polished rim FTW!
Any other K10 threads on here?

Big updates coming now. Haven't got any pics of how it is right now but the engine bay is PAINTED Here the pics that I do have!! Engine bay being cleaned Pipes, elbows, flanges and silencer/tailpipe Painted gearbox, the mounts don't fit this gearbox either, so back down the scrapyard I go Bay is very clean and tidy Sorted out the ugly bulkhead lip The worst of the rust lol, wire wheeled back to bare metal and treated with kurust Seam sealer cleaned off More pics soon

Thanks for the comments chap Hi Kev, You are crazy! I forgot about your car. You have been a busy boy. You should sent me gasket, I got them flanges maden it for you. I got few flanges data now.

Cheers Atchi Hi mate, I haven't sold many bits from my mini, I have a really ratty elf that I will probably transplant everything into, but won't be for a while though. I have to overhaul and paint my missus mx5 and I have a corsa sri to fix up and sell. As well as finishing this one and I also have an r32 4door with an sr20det which I need to get on the road. And then there's also my driftcar to maintain lol I would be interested in a few flanges for this cg13de engine. I have gaskets and some measurements I will email you very soon I had a good long break from this car whilst I was drifting at the end of last year, but I have been flatout on this for about a month again now
