Turbo Jimny

Did you make the exhaust manifold?
What is the turbo from?
Have you thought about a bigger air box, or even an open filter? It has been suggested in the past that the standard air box is small to the point of being restrictive, even for the standard engine.

Hey Busta, Yes I made the exhaust manifold using sch10 tube(if I remember correct...I still have some left to check on this) A cast manifold can be had on ebay from a swift M series.....although they invert the turbo....and somebody put a chassis in the way on the Jimny.

The turbo is a Garrett GT1544 with 0.38ar as fitted to various sub 1.6l cars.

As regards the airbox....I've seen the reports of the size issues between various Suzuki air boxes for different capacities...it would appear in actuality that the Jimny airbox has enough capacity to allow plenty through....normal atmos+17 psi inlet pressure=enough?

I still have the pea shooter exhaust and cat installed......it's plenty powerful enough for traffic light racing and laning as it is

Hmmm. I am in the similar position to you with regards to the justification of the expense on what is ultimately a company car. I need a plan. Thank you for the info.

Surely it doesn't need an intercooler that big though? By over-sizing it aren't you increasing lag?

Good luck with that matey! I usually wait until it's my significant others idea :whistle:

@Busta, Sch10s 304 stainless lr90 elbows all welded onto the original Jimny exhaust flange...still got the egr in operation too.

Anyone know what the "power" indicator lamp was for in the dash?

It's set to light up under boost now......need a recording of J Clarkson shouting power to finish that part off :laugh:

Very cool!
