what engine to fit to jimny ?

hi looking for a bit of help as to what engine to fit for more power .. iv been reading up on online and so on .. and cant win .. there the 1.5 vvti engine out swift then ignis and so on .. but any one have a idea of what engine fits in with out all the hassle of cutting and welding and so on .. and what will gain a bit more power

im going to be doing the t-case transfer box change soon once iv worked out engine .. i know the vit use the 1.9 dt engine from a 306 would the jimny gear box bolt onto that with out mods ? any help would be great thank you all ..

i'd say do the transfer case first then see how you feel, it makes such a huge difference you may not feel the need for the engine conversion?

It depends what year your jimny is. There are some easy swaps.

thanks for your help mine is 1999 . one sohc so im guessing the t-case dose a hell of a lot i was going to before put it in put in the 113 cog into it or other way around cant think atm but it make's gearing 5-1 we have done it in our sj works great but its more for on road to i need mine for so it help on road to as our sj is only for off road event's .. thanks for the help thought much appreciated

You cant put a vvti engine into your non vvti car. Its a disaster believe me I learned from bitter 1st hand experience at the hands of some right monkeys

pm me if you need more details.
