DISASTER WITH THE TURBO K11 NISSAN MICRA - FULL SEND DYNO & A BIG PROBLEM

So the Turbocharged Nissan Micra finally hits the dyno, but not all goes well at all.
We get to ‪@roadrageperformanceuk‬ to get the numbers in preparation for our OG Battle against Jack McNeil with Boris the TicTok Micra in a head to head and also we get the car ready to go to the British Motor Show for some burnouts and action, but what a drama it all ended to be!!

"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 :)

[@MotorAddicts]

We totally agree

[@MoodyMicraJa]

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

[@andybils6141]

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 ❤️

[@MotorAddicts]

Thanks! Will do!

[@hristohristov8787]

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 🤙

[@MotorAddicts]

Cheers buddy

[@sidewayssam]

Regrettably did 'nt get to meet you guys, but spent a good bit of time with Stu, lovely bloke, Motorclaimguru

[@MotorAddicts]

Was good to catch up buddy

[@siraff4461]

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.

[@che3601]

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

[@davidlancaster1423]

How have they managed to get 124bhp when the dyno read 84whp. That's a drive train correction factor of nearly 50%!!!

[@sje106]

Exactly. Shit dyno.

[@DM01710]

poor Owen you legend , big love all the guys and girls keep on smashing it 🙂

[@MotorAddicts]

Thank you 😂

[@Birmingham_racing]

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

[@MotorAddicts]

We haven’t looked after it

[@MattyEngland]

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

[@richardbeazer1449]

Well done lads shame it’s broken and stu created a 10 piece clutch 😂 Great video and looking forward to the update 👊🏼

[@MotorAddicts]

Fingers crossed we decide to do something with it

[@0Tekstyla0]

great micra, how do u build the one arm wisher and where can i buy these great hood vents???? :O

[@shainstrugnell9409]

Waiting for the video like it's the night before Xmas 😂😂😂

[@MotorAddicts]

😂

[@Turbourboxx]

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 😏

[@chrisgoodall5385]

Leon at Road Rage is an absolute legend - highly recommend!!

[@MotorAddicts]

He is a legend

[@Onska79]

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!

[@Beardchanics]

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.

[@MotorAddicts]

Trying to find a 1.3

[@Beardchanics]

@@MotorAddicts Sweet 😁

[@TomBudin]

man my clutch on the turbo mirage is making the same noise lmao might be time to change it

[@TomBudin]

standard clutch copped it for 6500 kms at double the horsepower output

[@onyedikamicheal349]

This is going to be awesome ❤

[@MotorAddicts]

100%

[@djmandrick]

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.

[@MotorAddicts]

Agreed, we will have a look at what next to do

[@adam.677]

It can't only be me who loves the beginning of each video "get you some, of that!"

[@MotorAddicts]

😂 whooooooo

[@BigKrisMorris]

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 😂

[@MotorAddicts]

We have tried doing this but no one will let us, but maybe soon

[@djatixofficialdnb]

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.

[@MotorAddicts]

We will see what to get hold of

[@GizFab]

1.8 Nissan Swap is needed.

[@alxgu198]

Falling in love with this Micra lol, beast 😁

[@MotorAddicts]

Will try get sorted

[@Minion106r]

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.

[@MotorAddicts]

When trying to bump start the wheels lock

[@Minion106r]

@@MotorAddicts ouch. Hopefully just drag from the new clutch probably got hot. You did put the gbox oil back in didn't you ?

[@angelodagnolo984]

You guys crack me up! 😂

[@MotorAddicts]

😂

[@Beatnik-Manor]

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

[@MotorAddicts]

When tried to bump the wheels lock up

[@Beatnik-Manor]

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

[@rj.reliable]

No 😢 can not believe it these are usual really reliable, fair play lads what's the next engine transplant 😎😉😍💯

[@MotorAddicts]

Not sure yet

Awww you broke the Turd.. Back on the spanners guys.

[@MotorAddicts]

Yup

[@IJ-E36]

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!

[@reecesmith7315]

I have a hunch the gearbox earth strap has been left loose 😅

[@MotorAddicts]

Once back we will have a look

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

[@Dan23_7]

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 😂😂

[@bretusmongetus]

Did I see this weapon out in the wild today, in Minster???

[@MotorAddicts]

You have, where it was rolled too

[@upurkilt7246]

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🫣😂

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
