Hi,
That's a very helpful reply. With the commercial version of the MK4 Jimny coming in 2022 it's been announced to have a factory turbocharger. I'm under the impression the engines won't be to different from each other. Someone on this thread talked about the cost of strengthening the pistons and rods. I wonder if that could be an option.
Ultimately I think I'm going to call a garage that originally built this for the seller to see what they recommend as they could offer an experienced reply. It has definitely been done and there are people with them fitted but none are rigourously tested so I guess it's a huge gamble.

Where did you hear about the commercial being turbocharged? The reason for it being commercial is that it would not meet emissions as a car but not heard anything about the engine being reworked?

It's been floating around and rumoured for a couple weeks. Supposedly they've been spotted being test drove around Europe and it's slipped out there's going to be a turbo and a mild hybrid. Although people are then speculating it won't come with the same off road features. Who knows, either way here's the article thay came up to me:
www.motor1.com/news/507354/2022-suzuki-jimny-long-details/
It's all tabloid rumours so who knows.

Those "five door Jimny" photos have been around the internet for a while, probably since last Summer
lt would be great to see it happen, but l am not holding my breath. Likewise a turbocharged engine, although again it would be great if they did.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration Spare engine?
I see bullet haven't released their rotrex kit after 2 years.....so that's not a bolt on option just yet.....not keen on air-water intercoolers personally.
Looking at the bolt circle on the bellhousing it looks similar to the jimny MKIII.....put an M15 from a MKII swift in with some upgraded rods and pistons...with the added weight you'd be best off with 250HP....or more
fuel consumption is dire though...less dinosaurs per mile and requires more vitamins in the fuel...cheaper than using the K15 still?.....I looked for conrods for the K15 and came back blank.....minimum order of 12 for them custom made.....options.
