Turbo Jimny was created by Keithy

Some may recall me scrounging/acquiring a Silver Jimny from Steve in Tenby with a view to modifying it a little....Turbo, Lift, Big tyres, body kit....maybe some other stuff

So I've made a start this weekend.....manifold on turbo on just needs lots of pipes and stuff to arrive this week.

I love the idea of it! Hope it works out ok and doesn't go bang ha!

How's the rest of the car? All solid?

Go bang...hush your mouth!

The cars not too bad....later I'll look at the rear floor and see how I feel....It's been "welded" previously, might just fit a new one so it can be more spacious inside....and a level load space is always nice.

How much boost are you looking at? Will you be getting the fensport turbo head gasket and their other goodies for a few extra horses and more reliability?

It's not a Jimny. It's my Jimny

Oh damn the £310 head gasket is out of stock.... I could just about buy a Megasquirt and control the fuelling for that

This is a low budget low boost project....not chasing power that's for the younger generation.....just a little extra for the big motorway hills.

What about using Greddy - E-Manage is cheaper

It needs to have a large user base for it to be do-able for me....I'm determined not to get too deeply involved with new projects.

Do you need to upgrade the fuel pump and injectors ?
