The red Micra with the "1Litre" badge on the back

they got to 310bhp before it jumped out of the rollers... it's believed to be around 400bhp on high boost

12.36 @ 125.7 mph

SR20DET (2.0 16v turbo) from Nissan (in the GTi-R, Silvia, 180/200sx) I think mate 8)

yeah think ur rite zollo! iirc its a 2.0l turbo engine, completly rebuilt etc etc etc.

best thing about it is that its a total sleeper. dont look any different to a stock 1.0l mirca!

And they can be made to handle pretty good as well. Wife's old micra had Nismo F/R sway and F strut bars, Tein progressive coils and koni yellows. Lowered the height quite a bit and yet the ride was better than standard comfort. It would turn on a dime, just don't ask the 1L engine to do too much work. Only problem with the car was a very weak chassis/shell. They must have strengthen it a lot to make use of all that power.

I think the Sunny/Pulsar 1.6L engine would drop straight in but not sure if the 200SX would fit though.

i remember seing the engine bay, and there was fook all room in it. im 90% sure it was a nissan engine, but i cant remember. Im sure its a 2.0L turbo with forged internals etc to run that kinda power. :twisted:

as you see from the video, traction (which is always crap at crail) was a major problem thru first, second and third. no idea if those were road tyres or what used for that run :?

310 bhp before it jumped out of the rollers - must have been a poor rolling road. Awesome sleeper !!!!

I love that car, yes its a sr20det from a pulsar, they have different inlets to the 200sx's. My 200sx was rumming 280 atw's with std turbo and internals and 113k..lol so fully rebuilt with a big turbo should ripp. plus 2.0 give bloody good torque..

although that lump is bloody heavy even with an alloy block and head..

Here's the Micra you're thinking of. It's called the March overseas Didn't get them in UK apparently.

Yeah, IIRC there are several Charade GT Ti's with 200bhp (They're 3-pot 24V turbos BTW)
