Get a star light roof! It will fix everything 😂

[@hisnameisnotwarren5771]

You should dissect the turbo, and see how bad it is. I could make an interesting video. I'm guessing the shaft had play, causing the turbine to cut into the housing.. That would explain the metal shavings

[@elliothunt3136]

I think this happened to me, I found metal shavings in my BOV and there was tiny shiny blobs on my spark plugs and in my exhaust ports (I assume melted aluminium)

[@seamusdoherty4680]

You should put in the 1.4 into it because it would be more powerful and it would be able to cope with all the accessories that your going to put in the engine

[@ChatMotorsport]

I may be wrong here, but wasn't the QG18 already built as a Turbo engine? maybe that would be better power wise? plenty of Almera's around.. but would it fit?

[@befalcon9498]

Do a built 1.4 . . well as built as you can go

[@JackMcNeillCars]

Not a bad shout

[@hydrolics5449]

Love your videos, can't wait for more Boris videos!

[@niallll]

loving these videos mate. Honestly you are one of my favourite creators on KZbin right now. Videos are always just chill to watch and I'm not even that into cars but you make these vids entertaining. Appreciate it mate, keep up the good work 🔥⚡👍🏼👏🏼

[@niallll]

Also, just imo, I think the 1.0 deffo outweighs the 1.4 in terms of all the pros and cons, just means it won't have as much power but you will still have ridiculous amounts of fun in Boris

[@JackMcNeillCars]

Hey bro, Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate the feedback!

[@MatthewWillard99]

Metal in the intake can only have come from either the turbo dying and milling out the housing or improper cleaning of intercooler and pipework after cutting. With that said the only damage it’ll do is to the cylinder walls but you’d need quite alot of shavings all at once to cause an issue. It’s likely the shavings you’ve got were mostly just going in and getting thrown out the exhaust, theres no way for shavings to get from the intake into the engine oil. If it were me I’d clean out all the pipework and intake, replace the turbo and head gasket and carry on! Only way of knowing the health of the cylinder walls is a visual inspection and a compression test, if all is okay then you’ll be fine. Regardless of what I’ve said, good luck and keep on doing what you do.

[@JessopRyan]

This is 100% what I was thinking. No need to jump to conclusions and buy an engine.

[@motorhderge1098]

1.4 will make boris feel better I mean you only want the best fro Boris right?

[@JackMcNeillCars]

True but I don’t want to have to do the same thing again a couple months down the line you know

[@SPRITEVIDS101]

If he truly wanted the best for boris he’d do a K20 swap 😏

[@jordanthomson7682]

good video Jack

[@hardc0reloonasimp]

Bad oil can cause metal shavings, so yeah, people saying the oil looked metallic were correct

[@Dkmode1]

Its quite likely turbo oil starvation rather than the cheap turbo just straight giving up. Its worth hooking a pressure gauge up to the line for the turbo feed. You want to see somewhere around 60psi for a GT17 turbo.

[@SD-oi9gr]

1.4 obviously!

[@user-xl9yp5fk6g]

Hello, could you explain me about from 1L to 1.4 swap remapping please. My motor mechanic says that it is not necessary to adjust stock 1L ECU, it does it by itself

[@thehypernator5851]

tune the oil channels if you put an new engine in?

[@s3bby513]

the 1.4 is not a bad engine there is some one running big power with one na arround 160 bhp maybe more 1.4 engine with 1.0 flywheel and gearbox will last a good while

[@CR_C30R]

Is it plastic rocker cover coz if it is the milky oil would probably be caused by condensation from it being a plastic rocker cover probably just needs a good run to get hot and should be fine!

[@Ben_dillon]

literally no debate, even if swapping in the 1.4L caused 100 hungry orphans to die, everyone's still choose it cus more power go BRRRRRR

[@josephofori-atta7133]

I have a Nissan note e11 06 I want to put a turbo can you help?

[@silvercut5230]

A 2.0L SR20DE is a pretty common swap from an Almera/Primera why not go down that route for extra power without the turbo?

[@jamespreston2667]

If turbo broke, - would go into the intercooler first. - so surely its more plasuable intercooler has fell to bits gone into the engine? Surely the cutting out at high rpm, Metal in the oil, Sure the pistons haven't started to see det, and top of the piston ring lands breaking up? Head itself damaged? Burnt a valve seat?

[@iliashth1526]

Put a 1.4 micra engine in but keep the transmission from the 1 liter more power and shorter shifting

[@RammerHonda]

1.4! Go for more power! 😂 Flywheel and pouley from the 1.0 are lighter might swap them tot the 1.4.

[@naeemmanie4580]

Forged rods and pistons?

[@Chris-bg8kv]

surely just put an sr20 in boris

[@ajearlywine4622]

[@jonny2legs77]

1.4!!

[@markhensens5989]

Hey I own a 1.4 micra k11, why would it be less reliable then the 1.0? Are there like any technical flaws? Things to look for when servicing?

[@JackMcNeillCars]

Both are solid engines when N/A. But when they’re boosted more pressure is put on the pistons and the 1.0L’s have far thicker ringlands than the 1.4’s so they have a lower chance of failing.

[@markhensens5989]

@@JackMcNeillCars aah right, makes sense, thanks for the reply!

[@judedenham5935]

K20 Swap!!!

[@joshhanbury9791]

Boris needs a Turbo’d K20 Engine 😮‍💨

[@GuakH03]

Tbh you should throw in a sr20ve

[@dawiddalomis576]

Can’t believe you were going to a head gasket install on old bolts, would’ve been a disaster especially with the turbo pushing the bolts to its limits anyway. Don’t get me wrong it’s not that big of a deal but why risk it when new bolts stents crazy money anyway. Keep it up tho I do enjoy the content

[@stani1029]

You can re-use micra head bolts multiple times. Ive built many CG turbo engines and only ever had piston ringland issues

[@JackMcNeillCars]

Yeh bro don’t think bolts are a big deal on these

[@iisalmenrompepaivat2266]

[@dukeofdream]

1.0l engine with 1.3 cams xD Don't bother with the 1.4... By the way why didn't you go with a VL36 Turbo? They go to roughly 200hp on a 1.4 tjet and you can get one for like 300 on ebay totally rebuilt :) Should be plenty for this 1.0 engine... A friend totaled his Bravo Tjet at about 400.000 km and the turbo was still the original and doing great...

[@willrobucm3664]

Make it proper sleeper. Put a ninja h2 engine in or something mad

No mate get a 1.3L manual they are faster and if you put 1 litre pistons in it and put 1400 Nissan almera injectors also a smaller gear boy it will defo hold the power mate it will be fast 💨

Get a 1.4 and remap turbo it

[@AWigmore]

isnt 1.3 better for a turbo than a 1.4? something about internals being stronger. I saw on facebook a few weeks ago

[@JackMcNeillCars]

There is a very specific 1.3 with a semi closed deck that is slightly better for boosting but not majorly. For example a 1.0L coil pack has 100 hit points whereas a semi closed deck 1.3 has 110 hit points, it’s not massively better but it is better. I would go for that but the issue is they came in a very specific 1.3 auto which is pretty rare. Also it’s very hard to distinguish a 1.3 semi closed from a fully closed 1.3. Easier to just go for a 1.0L coil pack which has thicker ringlands than the 1.3/1.4’s.

[@andrebarros7703]

@@JackMcNeillCars there is a guy in my country with a 1.3 turbo (i dont think its from an auto), only a slighty bigger head gasket and minor things like bigger injectors etc, and makes 0.9bar 180hp+/- made in his garage. also have a channel on teaching to turbo it on low cost, by using FMU and not a remap. He as 2 turbo micra's another with 120hp +/- if i recall c/BaguetesGarage

no k swap for boris? :c

The only way that’s possible is if I paid someone to do it. And I’ve decided that’s not what Boris is about. It’s all about trying to do things yourself. I’m not even remotely skilled enough to do it so I’ve deceived against it.
