Since owning a Jimny from march on, i am looking to add some more power...
We bought this little fella to travel around in Europe to find the best surf spots.
When fully loaded to go on a trip, a roodrack with a James Baroud tent on it we have some issues we want to fix.
First of all the power...
(Suspension for heavy load will fix another problem)
Any ideas? Chip, air filter, ...
PS - if it was in diesel I surely bought that one...

I tried a turbo on the M16A with 10.5:1 CR.....not happy at all......Compression needs lowering to make use of any boost.....is yours the M15A.....has 11.0:1 CR.....no elbow room.
Supercharger and big mahoosive laggy turbo next for me.

New Jimny uses the K15B engine which is a 10:1 CR I believe, so still high and might limit the ability to run forced induction.

I am basically intrigued by the proper electric turbos, can`t afford or justify one, but do like the fact that they are instant full boost. It is new tech and currently seems to work well with superchargers, turbo`s and NA engines.

As with the previous generations improvements may be limited to some very talented individuals working on their own vehicles, or a WET "Wrong Engine Transplant" to gain more power. Lamberts suggestion is a true reflection based on what is available today for the GEN4 (and G3), but my equally unpopular suggestion would be to just live with it, drive slower (you have no choice) and enjoy.
I drive around the uk in our standard 1.3 G3 towing a caravan and it's fine so long as you accept 50-60 mph is it's limit. The queue of cars behind are not in front of me, so result
Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

I was thinking about to remove the catalytic converter.
Will make a better flow on the exhaust.
Combine it with a sport airfilter and a chip (+10hp) will do the work I think.
Anyone already tried to remove this?

The electric drive one's do work quite well......got to carry some weight in batteries though.....not sure how long you'd be able to run one continuously though.Digger1 wrote: I am basically intrigued by the proper electric turbos, can`t afford or justify one, but do like the fact that they are instant full boost.

You'll have seen the rotrex engine driven superchargers.....they work well!
