Should I sell ? NO NO NO ! Sell the wife keep the jimny

It would be a shame to sell after all that hard work.

Hard decision, but the fact you're asking the question indicates doubts you have re: Jimny love, everything comes an end some time

but then new things begin

if your mates are going to stay in the game with their bigger 38" trucks then build a rock crawling monster as half the fun is building and the rest is a grand day out with the mates.

you should get a good price for your Jimny from some cockney wanting a weekend pay and play beast

but that's just my opinion and as they say .... everyones got one

good luck

Or you could turn the Jimny into an real off-road truck with 200bhp, coilovers and such and then use and old unimog as towtruck

Glad your keeping it a Chap on here called Riccy just bought a swift engine to drop in have a look for his thread maybe wait to see what the results are like

Swift is FWD.....on the swift inlet manifold the throttle body would be obstructed by the bulkhead.

M13A has a 46mm throttle body.....pretty much strangles the M16A in N/A mode.....maintaining 70 on the motorway is no problem though.

Ordering forged pistons and h beam rods in a fortnight...refitting the turbo etc...then just need to get Gus over to test drive it!

Correct i am, but im sticking with VVT (1.3 vvt out, 1.6 vvt in), Rich is asking about the non VVT 1.6

Ahh missed the non bit

For more power from the 1.6 look at the intake and exhaust. A 4-2-1 manifold and bigger throttle body should free up a bit of top end. If the Swift throttle body doesn't fit a Liana one will.

But these will only help you get to the 105hp the engine makes in the Liana. For more power you need forced induction, throttle bodies or look at using an engine from something else.

I hope to be having a go at an MX5 1.8 (140hp) engine swap this summer, but if you could have a go first and pave the way that would be much appreciated!

I am sure you will be sad to see the Jimny go but its always exciting starting some thing new.

Final answer.....phone a friend?

If you need an M16A trigger wheel for the megasquirt for when you fit it and the turbo....

Rich,
Check out some of the suzuki buggy builds on pirate, most are sj based but it would be cool to do something like that with a jimny.
