Field Report: 550hp Micra | 'Let TORQUE take the wheel'
Manage episode 490422583 series 2968180
Ever seen a 550whp front-wheel-drive Micra out on track?
Sean Austin’s FWD K11 Nissan Micra is running a turbocharged Primera P11 SR20VE+T Neo VVL (the best SR20?) & 6-speed gearbox, Haltech Nexus R3 engine/power distribution management, Haltech iC-7 dash, and enough power to torque steer into another dimension.

With help from CDI Motorsport, Raceworks, Knight Family Motorsport, and a front end swapped in from a Pulsar, this car has evolved from track beater to full track weapon at the World Time Attack Challenge. It’s light, fast, and rowdy, but Sean’s also realistic about its limitations, admitting the platform might have hit its ceiling. That said, not sure we believe that a project is ever truely 'finished'!
This walkaround covers the build, from the engine setup and fabrication, through to suspension compromises and alignment headaches. It's a quick look at what it takes to extract big performance from an unlikely chassis, and believe it or not at this stage all for under $20,000 Kangaroo Dollars (AUD).
