Speed, oil, petrol, metal stuff, hopes and dreams. All the standard shit associated with trying to make things fast.

I saw a guy this week with a Jimenez 2012 tricked up a bit. Apparently he wants to upgrade the engine from a Suzuki swift to get a bit more grunt . And apparently it bolts straight in … pretty much.

The LJ50s and the early SJ413 had a small driveshaft between the engine/clutch and gearbox. Meant you could easily repower them with anything.

The jimmy from 2002ish onwards until the current model used the M13a engine. The swift used the m13a,m15a( in the current jimny) and the m16a. All 3 motors will bolt to the jimny gearbox. Just make sure you use correct computer with it and some adjustments to wiring harness as some plugs are different

Following this whole thread with interest - as I've love considered getting a Jimny.

I just acquired the latest 3 door as my main hunting wagon, the old 3.2 Navara was costing to much to run and repair suspension parts every WOF.
Goes well, will get a few extra's as finance permits, already have a trunk box storage case for the dog in the back, a red hind fitted in the back alright with all blood contained in the storage case, just removed and washed out when home, Dog liked the passengers seat with the deer in the back. Current fuel economy is 6.2L/100kms.
I even heard a sika roaring while driving quietly along a forestry track with the window wound down.

plenty of aftermarket parts if you buy the radial arm protection buy from Jimny UK ones they fit a bit better than others....as I found when we fitted them also their transfer box and fuel tank and fuel filter guards are excellent

Great little trucks, veryu low on power though, especially if you go any bigger on tyres. CTB do a turbo kit though, which makes it a different vehicle.

Yep, standard at the wheels on dyno was 72kw, torque 131.9nm.
Turbo at wheels 112kw, 270.5nm torque.

Different vehicle.

I also fitted different transfer case gears, reduced high range by about 15% & low range by about 60%

Put it back in the std rev range on the road with 30" tyres, and lets you crawl around better off road.

What kind of $$$ are you looking at to trick one up and upgrade power as you did?

yes looking at those transfer gear changes which brand did you go for?seems to be a few different ones used in Ozzie. I am lucky have a friend with a hoist and lockup so easy to do stuff!

The biggest pig I shot I managed to get it into the back of my Jimmy. Couldnt shut the door so I tied the pig in through the hock with the passenger side seat belt.

Hooned home with the pig half hanging out the back.

Here is pretty much everything I owned in 1997

I bet life was a bit simpler then.

They are a bit noisier than standard, but it helps a lot with the gearing
