Engine swap to m16a

Coming for update, I did it!
First I tried the m16 TB in the m13 intake manifold, the idle was like 1800 -2000 rpms when engine was in operation temperature. Also I had like a hiccup after 3000 rpms. I swap to m13TB and all the problems solved! I went also to my lpg mechanic it remapped the lpg ecu and wow, the jimny felt like rocket really. No hiccups throttle response is awesome! Now I need better front and rear axles because this torque will destroy them in no time 😂.

 

Great news and congratulations with the swap!
I only broken the diff once with my m16
and my R72 gearbox last a bit shorter than "normal" too I guess. 

 

Your axles will be fine. The small increase in torque from the engine swap is nothing compared to the increase in torque from lower transfer case gearing commonly fitted. But you will accelerate wear on the transfer case chain and I've had issues with 5th gear, but I am regularly towing 1,300kg with mine at highway speeds so that does get more load than normal.

I ran mine with the Liana crank pulley until it fell apart. It worked fine with the Jimny power steering pump.

The poor idle with the Liana throttle body will be the ECU taking time to adjust to it. It would have sorted itself out after being driven for a while
