It's a 2010 engine with 27000 mls and it cost me £400 It's a bare engine but as you have to swap everything over it doesn't matter.
I started off high and worked my way down ever since

It's done entirely with lots of rpms and no low-end torque, which the GV has much more of.

This is useful, but does annoyingly jump between metric and imperial a lot:

M16 while being a little stronger than the M13 isn't as willing to rev and seems a little lacking/uninspiring....that's with the standard 1.3 exhaust manifold which is a little bit crap, might improve with a 4:1.
I think I'll fit a turbo for a little boost.....I'd fit a supercharger but efficiency wins

currently i have the standard calipers up front (with the larger centre bore solid discs), and drums at the back. They work, but ain't what i would call great.
so was looking at GV calipers and vented discs at the front, and megane caliper based disc rear conversion. My question is what year/model of GV should i be looking at for the calipers to come from for the front. i think they come in two sizes (larger for the V6), but which should i use? i think the discs need to be enlarged in the centre bore on a lathe for the jimny hubs?
Rear wheel bearings need changed anyway so a good excuse for rear axle rebuild (tho will have to wait till its not so cold!)
help appreciated, as always...
Riccy.

At the rear I fitted Peugeot 306 rear calipers as I had some and removed the drums and fitted standard solid jimny front discs....then machined some new mounts in 7075 AL to suit.
I didn't do any re-machining of the discs iirc
Can't remember if I had to bleed the calipers upside down.....there's a picture of the calipers in my build thread here.

I just paid £150 for a knackered swift sport engine....VVT no less.....I basically need the block and head....so my mission to have a spare engine is now complete.gilburton wrote: I'm too far away from you in Northants.

If your engine has the throttle body and inlet manifold on then anyone with a 1.3 VVT should have an easy time installing it....otherwise they need to enlarge the inlet orifice(I like that word) and fit the 50mm throttle body and lose the 46mm one....day and night difference!

Hi Riccy, I used a die grinder and removed the Al using the gasket as a guide....serendipitously the gasket had a 50mm centre hole.Riccy wrote: I think i do have the throttle body for my swift engine and was wondering about trying to use it. i realise theres going to be a few alterations, but what? The aus-zookers link above hinted at using it, but i didnt really find out what was needed and how to do that part.
I stuffed the inlet with a rag and had at it then vacuumed it before removing the rag and after......quite simple.
When researching I came across someone who had to make an adapter plate to fit a throttle body.....not sure what the combination of parts was but the one from a Liana fit straight on mine....and nicely once 2mm was removed all round the centre hole.
Put some dimensions of the Swift throttle body up and I'll compare with the jimny manifold for you.
Just remembered I used the water side from the jimny on the throttle body......pipe pointed the wrong way.......could have warmed it and turned it....laziness made me swap the housing

Riccy.
It rather depends on what you intend to do with that power. Braking power is relative to weight and speed, the engine is about the same weight and if you aren't going any faster then then you don't need extra braking. The 1.6 is lower revving so with the same gearing the top speed is usually a little lower - I don't think anyone ever really notices because not many modified Jimnys are driven at high speeds. If you are overgeared then you may get some top speed improvement but its unlikely to be as fast as a stock Jimny.
