The Jimny Flys! was created by Lazia23
I really had to stretch my little Jimny's legs this afternoon chasing yobs out of a field. Flat out at 45 mph across a field the Jimny really comes into its own! I found that at 4500 rpm the engine pulls like a train. I kept up with their subarus all the way to the gate (3/4 of a mile away). Was a lot of fun but it probably didn't do the car any good, radiator fan was on the whole way home!

The Jimny engine only really gets going at 4000rpm and pulls nicely all the way to the limiter. You won't have done your Jimny any harm reving it to 4500rpm! Preventing harm is the limiter's job ;)

Good to know, i have found it to be just as if not more capable than my bosses' defender. Loving it so far. Oh and they were doing doughnuts the cheeky sods.

It's a viscous fan. It is driven by the engine via a viscous fluid. The hotter the engine, the thicker the viscous fluid becomes, making the fan spin faster. When the engine is cold, the fluid is thin and the fan barely turns. Very simple, very efficient.

I've always liked the way viscous fans operate...
