Need Help On Nissan March Super Turbo

[EG8]

Good day guys

A good friend of mine was interested to get one K10 Super Turbo.Thing is he is kinda buta IT so he asked me to find out these matter for him.
We went to view the car last night.Car was okay, from outside and inside, but cant view much since it is already at night.The owner claimed he already spent nearly rm13K for the restoration, the engine has been swapped
with MA09ERT (if i spelt correctly ), auto trans ( not kick @ss at all ),interior is nice except the three gauges already kong ( have to find replacement ), and exterior, let see, the emblem nissan march super turbo already gone, other than that, it is okay.My friend has time until next week before giving the final words.

1.Is it still easy to get spare parts for this car? I mean is it easy to get replacement for let say, alternator, turbine,bumpers,etc etc?
2. If the turbine already pecah, is it true that it will running on supercharger alone?
3. How about the beltings and bearings? Is it hard to get from spare part shop?
4. Is it true that K10 turbine can be swap with Charade G100 turbine? Any other turbine that might works?
5. >>The supercharger on the March Super Turbo has a differential by pass valve which compares its boost to the turbo and slowly opens when the turbo boost exceeds that of the supercharger, then switching off the supercharger allowing a smooth transition between the two-->how true is this?
6.Is it true that the front absorber can be replace by Nissan Pulsar GTI-R and the back using Civic EG9 absorbers?
7.Any good tips on how to see either the engine is good or not ( me and my friend are not well versed on forced induction system ).Any owner of this EK10 are most welcome to give his/her idea and experience on this car.

I would like to thank you guys in advance for any help.Thanks again. ;)

What color is the car and issit 2 or 4 doors. I might know the owner and the condition of the car. Price should not exceed 12k even for a slightly modded unit.

The rest...Hmmm. I'll try giving my 2 cents worth.

As for the emblem nissan march super turbo... nobody cares so dun worry too much bout it. :)

1.Spare parts are quite easy if you know where to get them :) and cheap too.

2. If the turbine already pecah, don't think the car will be running at all.

3. beltings and bearings? Easy as long u show them the samples.

4. K10 turbine swap with Charade G100 turbine? Not advisable unless u want lesser power.
Other turbines are always a possibility if u have the cash to custom an entire piping system.

5. The supercharger on the March Super Turbo does have a differential bypass valve which allows a smooth transition between the two chargers but depending on how each charger is boosted. But turbo would still spool at around 3200 rpm and will be on full boost somewhat around 4500 rpm even if the supercharger is not activated. Supercharger will automatically turn off at 4000rpm's unless your running on a Nismo chip, which will lenghten supercharger duration as used in rallys.


6.Nissan Pulsar GTI-R fronts? not that i know of. Civic rear absorbers would fit but not too sure which model? There are a few Kayaba's and Monroes around. If your lucky you might stumble on nismo's or cusco shockers.

7.Like checking any other cars, look out for oil stains or spills within engine bay. Especially around the turbo. Check for irregular boost 'choking' during supercharger mode. And the other basics, chasis, rusts, etc. There are like 15 metres worth of vaccumm hoses on this engine, best to replace all wit silicone hoses to be safe or many problems will arise.

You can PM me if u have further questions or need any parts. Need a manual trans or the three gauges? :)

It's a fun car to drive, especially wit the power that produces from only a 1 litre :)
Good luck.

Cross,
Thank you so much for your great feedbacks.
The car is 2 doors yellow color.Appeared in MT this week edition.Asking for rm9K.Need cash for d/p Gen2, according to the owner.In USJ12 Subang Jaya.You know him?Nice guy.
I know there were several chop shop in Bkt Kemuning and also in Kg melayu Subang which has these parts.
According to him, he already taken out the turbine.But the car still drivable minus the pssst sound.Hehehe.
What type of turbine did this car used eh?If custom made, how much ,roughly?
Nismo chips? Emm....still got meh?
Those kayabas and monroes, how much roughly? got adjustables for this model too eh?
What is the normal problems for this car, aparts from wears and tears?
Already PM u.check ur inbox.
Thanks again dude for your wonderful feedbacks.

Not sure of this yellow one. March ST uses a HT10 turbine. Not too sure what else is suitable. But to hybrid is possible but will cost a bomb.

Nismo chips are available but wouln't recommend. Doesn't do much unless you're into track or rally racing. Get a management.
Kayabas and monroes, ranging from RM700 above. Adjustables are difficult to find. Get civic GAB's.

The normal problems are mostly supercharger issues and the vaccumm hoses. I think i've never seen any other cars hosing that's as complicated as the ST.

 

[EG8]

Thanks Cross with your feedbacks. ;)
