An n/a engined tuned to 100bhp/litre sounds great for a sports car. But I'd need a lot of convincing that it would be sensible in off roader such as the Jimny.
8K spent on an n/a set up would put you around 150bhp with no lag or low rpm issues....
Reliability is not really measurable here, unless you know there is a specific weakness for forced induction. But there are loads of people running turbos and superchargers on what are stock na engines. It is hugely popular in the USA with many companies selling nothing other than kits for doing this.It would differ greatly from a standard engine... and be a more reliable option than boosting an engine that wasn't designed for it.... Forced induction is not always the way to go.
