Ola`s jimny project

There was a mention from someone a while ago on here that had used the crank pulley from the donor engine. With a slightly longer belt it meant that the alternator and water pump were driven slightly faster. Ideal for charging winch batteries, etc. A/C and power steering were unaffected.

That looks a nice clean one you have there

I think using the donor crank pulley over speeds the power steering as that's the bigger one the alty side is the same diameter as the Jimny but 5 rib.

Do you intend to keep the oil cooler?

Oil cooler and Defa-element looks like it has to be relocated.
That intake looks like it could be responsible for much of the gain in hp compared to the Liana m16a.
And different injectors also apparently..

Dont think i`ll be using either oil cooler or heater element, so they will be removed..

The intake sure looks alot better! 25hp better? I highly doubt it, maybe 10hp..
Would be VERY good to find a throttle body that fit the intake.. Even though it wouldnt look 100% stock, i think it would pass inspections anyway.

Need to sort these details out soon, same as for what to do with exhaust. Has to be done 100% before hitting the dyno for remap.

Wheel allignment done. Had a little toe out that got corrected.
The caster correction bushings did the job, but theres room for more angle. I used the molded bushes from jimnybits.


Started working on the SSS motor.. Changed to a new crank pulley, thermostat and water pump. Removed oil cooler/filter, air-intake and oil sump.
Ready to start the swap next week, just got to get the lift kit approved first. (Tomorrow).
Ive removed the pipes from the waterpump as well, just wasnt done in this picture..


Piston oil cooling / squirters



The "normal" old style crank sensor plate..

Same "problem" with my bushings.
I calculated from my own rough measurements that the bushings should have 5.6mm offset to compensate fully for the 2" lift but they are less for some reason. I couldn't find my measurement of the offset bushings i bought.
well, ideally it should be 5.8mm front offset and 5.5mm aft bushing offset but that is a bit theoretical
