Jimny XL AVO Turbo kit

Ambitious figures. I'm not sure how adding one-third more air makes for one-half more power, or how the clutch/chain/rad* would perform, but it's interesting to think about.

Myself, I'd rather see low-rpm torque in a 4x4. Give me a diesel, an unfashionably-long-stroke petrol, or perhaps a supercharger... rather than a turbo.

But then, I am one of those people who doesn't quite understand why someone would wash a Jimny before the mud reaches the door handles, so this product is probably not intended for me.


*or differentials, or axles, or CVs, or BRAKES...!

running at 5 PSI boost with the standard exhaust system including Cat delete will give a 40% - 50% gain in power output (depending on tune) along with increased driveability due to the extra torque

The quote above comes straight from the manufacturer’s webpage and I wonder what else you need to do to get the power increase they quote?

This is an interesting calculator, it suggests under 40% increase in power for 5psi of boost

For example did you get an ECU remap or change the ECU for a sports variant?  If not I am not sure how the stock ECU would handle the extra airflow.  

Did you have to modify the air intake or filter to cope with the increased air flow?

Yes the figures are off the website, the ECU is sent back to AVO and remapped. The air cleaner is removed and replace with a pod type filter. there is a massive change in the power and torque which is great, the fuel economy is way better. Do I need to change the brakes no, the speed limit is still 50-100 KPH.
