"Why does this always happen to us?" First off, it happens to everyone who is pushing the limits. Second, that car was a miracle that it lasted that long :)
I'm glad that I saw you at the British Motor Show! So sorry about the Micra but I'm sure the best is yet to come. Good luck and keep up the good work 🤙
About 5 years ago my friend used to have 1.8 turbo mk1 Leon cupra r stage 2. Never actually had any issues despite owning it for about 3-4 years. All comes down to how you look after the car
I still daily a modified mk1 Cupra, never had a single engine issue in the 7 years I've owned it. Drive it hard every day too. Still the original turbo at 125,000 miles and 21 years
I'm loving this POS. Those numbers are a bit hard to swallow though. I would stick to the wheel number because the only way that thing is losing ~45hp between the crank and tyres is if the brakes are stuck on. Not saying they aren't - just that a ~36% loss on so little power sounds close to double what it really ought to be.
great job 👍. I have a 1.3 Turbo from 1993. power 110 hp and 150 nm with a charge of 0.35 bar (Audi 1.8t 150hp turbo) I'm just building a k10 model in which I'll install the same 1.3 turbo technology and possibly more superchargers, the power target might be 180hp/200nm 😏
If its coilback 1,0 its 60hp from factory and just wondering your dyno number... I have NA tuned 1,3 micra with 123hp/134nm at crank and from wheels 101hp. But keep up nice work!
Ooòooo no. Gutted man. Bin loving watching the journey of this car. Think it's time for that 1.3 engine guys. See what you get out of that. I reckon between 150/170 bhp Mark. Depends what you use.
could always be a faulty dash, they are coded into the ecu. tbh that does look like a fault on the actual dash though. so i would look at trying to clear fault codes, and see if that helps, if not, you might be able to get your dash fixed
I would still keep dash in mind, as it really is tied into the ecu, you can get your dash repaired at a few places, one I used to work at, but wont advertise, just search for cluster repairs, talk to one of the techs from a better rated company, describe your symptoms - they should be able to say yes its the dash over the phone.@@MotorAddicts
Assuming you turned it off for fuel Would be unrealistically convenient for it to lock up then. I reckon either the gearbox earth is loose. Wouldn't make any difference when it's running untill you then it off. Or the kick wire on the starter has come loose. Either way she should go with a bump start. Not a jump start like you mentioned. Doubt it's locked up imo.
There's life in the old girl yet, Stu and she's given you all she had so far and more. It was inevitable. Just think, after now getting into Nick's feels as well (glassy eye alert, I saw it!) there's only Owen to win over. With it's "charm", and him politely asking the item to leave his work area forthwith, he's proving a tough cookie to crack! I think getting him to do an engine swap (after all tha'ts hte nature of this channel) is just what they need to "bring them together". Haha.
For a little more fuel I would put a 5th injector on to the inlet pre throttle. Have it on a little switch to click on when on full throttle so will only be active when on full throttle and full boost. Done this on my ka 1.3 endura-e that i turbo'd. Little ct9 turbo I git for free and all scavenged parts intercooler from a 1996 2.5 tdi passat and modified the charge pipes from it with other pipes and silicone joiners from a c20let astra from scrappys home made turbo manifold, 1.6 zetec throttle body only thing i had to buy was a better clutch think it was a 1.6 sport ka one can't realy remember was £89😂 Done the job a treet. Lasted 9 months being thrash. Was running about 11.5 ish afr so but rich on 12 psi🫣😂
If it blows put the 1.3 .. heck why not do a sr20 neo in it and go for the moon 😂..dope lil micra brotha ... peace and love all keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam
Oh dear what an ending indeed Nick, you guys put in those extra hours for it to do this to you. It now needs fire 🔥 😂 Only joking, it’s hopefully something and nowt, I’ve got my fingers crossed for the little shitbox 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sending thoughts and prayers 😂😂
Damn well she had a good run im mostly suprised how long the stock clutched lasted with it supposed to only handle 60hp 😂great vid guys huge bummer with the locked up engine
the car aint dead you can see the battery light struggling to stay bright which means the Starter motor that runs off the flywheel (after youve just done a clutch kit) has probably killed the Starter Motor
"Why does this always happen to us?" First off, it happens to everyone who is pushing the limits. Second, that car was a miracle that it lasted that long :)
We totally agree
I have a SR20 swapped in mine in Jamaica. Hoping to go dyno soon as I want to compete at Jamaica’s biggest Drag Event soon
Regrettably did 'nt get to meet you guys, but spent a good bit of time with Stu, lovely bloke, Motorclaimguru
Was good to catch up buddy
man my clutch on the turbo mirage is making the same noise lmao might be time to change it
standard clutch copped it for 6500 kms at double the horsepower output
Great vid once again lads! You tried your best so well done 👍🏻 don’t give up on the K11 and keep us all posted please. Keeping it real ❤️
Thanks! Will do!
I'm glad that I saw you at the British Motor Show! So sorry about the Micra but I'm sure the best is yet to come. Good luck and keep up the good work 🤙

i wonder why it's so high, aren't fwd cars supposed to be lower?

poor Owen you legend , big love all the guys and girls keep on smashing it 🙂
Thank you 😂
Leon at Road Rage is an absolute legend - highly recommend!!
He is a legend
Well done lads shame it’s broken and stu created a 10 piece clutch 😂 Great video and looking forward to the update 👊🏼
Fingers crossed we decide to do something with it
If its coilback 1,0 its 60hp from factory and just wondering your dyno number...
I have NA tuned 1,3 micra with 123hp/134nm at crank and from wheels 101hp.
But keep up nice work!
How have they managed to get 124bhp when the dyno read 84whp. That's a drive train correction factor of nearly 50%!!!
Exactly. Shit dyno.
Ooòooo no. Gutted man. Bin loving watching the journey of this car. Think it's time for that 1.3 engine guys. See what you get out of that. I reckon between 150/170 bhp Mark. Depends what you use.

1.8 Nissan Swap is needed.

@@MotorAddicts ouch. Hopefully just drag from the new clutch probably got hot. You did put the gbox oil back in didn't you ?
This is going to be awesome ❤
100%
Waiting for the video like it's the night before Xmas 😂😂😂
😂
great micra, how do u build the one arm wisher and where can i buy these great hood vents???? :O

Agreed, we will have a look at what next to do
You can't drive a sh!tbox and not expect a little bit of side road action! It's part of the fun 😁If you switch to the 1.3l engine keep the 1l gearbox.
Trying to find a 1.3
@@MotorAddicts Sweet 😁
Any news on the micra project?
Falling in love with this Micra lol, beast 😁
Will try get sorted
It can't only be me who loves the beginning of each video "get you some, of that!"
😂 whooooooo
I have a hunch the gearbox earth strap has been left loose 😅
Once back we will have a look
You guys crack me up! 😂
😂
No 😢 can not believe it these are usual really reliable, fair play lads what's the next engine transplant 😎😉😍💯
Not sure yet
Feel like it's crying out for a bike engine! 😂

Cheers for info bud
sick
Did I see this weapon out in the wild today, in Minster???
You have, where it was rolled too
Get bigger injectors from a 1.6 almera (ithink) they are a straight fit
Thinking what to do with it at moment
Legends
🤙🏻
Didn't someone offer an MX5 for a conversion 😉
Did they?
I have an idea for an episode. Do a track battle with the escort and nova or another couple of drag cars. Would be really amusing 😂
We have tried doing this but no one will let us, but maybe soon
Awww you broke the Turd..
Back on the spanners guys.
Yup
Don't forget an adjustable fuel pressure reg, I'm sure someone there will happily donate one as it doesn't need to be anything flash!
That guy from Road-Rage seems really sound, I wouldn't mind seeing more of him on the channel
He’s a legend, would love to do more
is that with stock ecu??
It is
Time for the sr20de+t swap
Maybe 😂
When he said he wont tune it, that's because they don't do flash maps for micra's and thats what these guys tune with 😅😆
He said he would but doesn’t want to get involved and we didn’t wanna map it
So i am interested in the specs of this engine please full list of the engine
1.0 16v Turbo, manifold that’s it
@@MotorAddicts what manifold and turbo and anything done with the ecu
@@mattayc266 nothing done with ECU, homemade manifold and a random to big for the car turbo
Cool thankyou and i hope you carry on improving the micra GTR
150% 👍
If it blows put the 1.3 .. heck why not do a sr20 neo in it and go for the moon 😂..dope lil micra brotha ... peace and love all keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam
You need to do a giveaway on this micra 🚀
In its current state
@@MotorAddicts no
@@ys55tas maybe when it’s sorted 😂
Oh dear what an ending indeed Nick, you guys put in those extra hours for it to do this to you.
It now needs fire 🔥 😂
Only joking, it’s hopefully something and nowt, I’ve got my fingers crossed for the little shitbox 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending thoughts and prayers 😂😂
Thank you 🙏🏻
Damn well she had a good run im mostly suprised how long the stock clutched lasted with it supposed to only handle 60hp 😂great vid guys huge bummer with the locked up engine
Yea proper crap 💩
@@MotorAddicts perfect now for a k series swap 😂 don't let stu drive it
I’m going for 87! Bhp
You should call the Micra Doris lol😂
😂
Forgot the other upgrades, hey.
😂
They were all going to go on but didn’t have time
Top Speed?
Vw/audi 1.8t it . Cheap engine and good power
Wish we had tt still 😂
Get it fixed and hit 150 on dyno ❤
We will see what to do
@@MotorAddicts have you figured out what stopped the engine running on drive to show?
Euro has sum great stuff in stock 👍😁
Yes it does! 😂
@@shivadowit’s carparts4less and they’re acc the same company with pretty much identical prices nowadays
❤
great vid boys! love owen when his tired a lot like myself 😂 don’t worry it leaves anticipation of what’s happened to it😉😉😉👍🏻
you guys are great 🤩
Much appreciated buddy
Stick a 2 litre fiesta st engine in it
Hmmmm
K20😉
Would love this
Nothing like an over reading dyno.
Maybe just the starter motor
Will look into it more but the front wheels lock when trying to bump
New video!!!!!!
the car aint dead you can see the battery light struggling to stay bright which means the Starter motor that runs off the flywheel (after youve just done a clutch kit) has probably killed the Starter Motor
We will investigate further
1.8t audi engine for sure .. little weapon
Would be cool
Put a k20 in it 😂
First thought for us
Poor micra hopefully somebody donates an engine for it
If not we will get something sorted
hahaha fuckk meee thats lean!
Time for a VW 1.8T swap
Would be cool
Shit happends😂,
It does
Lean and repeated dyno runs lead to one thing.
Bang
Firty first?
Saab swap it 😅
Again good idea
I'm saab swopping a classic tvr what's the worst that could happen 😊👍
Big block swap, Nissan sunny/pulsar engine
Would be epic
Anyone got a Nissan pulsar engine to get the micra back on the road
Sorry the Celica looks awful it needs martini decals please 🙏
SR16VE NEOS engine.
