Turbo Jimny

Great to hear one insurance company is moving forward ....

I look forward to hearing about the 6th project when it comes ....i have manage 100 mph by raising roof of jimny with roof rack to increase down force and spoilers for increase air flow...on a stock model...even lane changing its oddly stable...

Anything above 75mph in mine is a bit risky. It wanders all over the road because of my mud tyres. :laugh:

I try to keep things neat...appreciate the comment.

I only managed 105 mph gps with the standard car...it scared me big time 4 years ago on it's original 205/60 rubber wandering all over the Mway....like a Corvette I drove way back....could have been the Mach2 though.

Now maybe it isn't as terrible an impediment (no wandering what with the bigger tyres)but the rpm issue is still there for me....need a 6th gear now more than ever.

One problem I've discovered is that corners appear sooner than they did before...gotta watch out for corners!

It would be interesting to see what an M16A Jimny owner thinks of this particular conversion....100hp vs...more.


I hear ya wombat.....I've slowly decreased the top end of mine for some time!

Yes that would make a knarly ride...once had a vw beetle baja..on knobbly tyres..top end was 130 mph..a beast..but certain car i think were never designed to go over 70 mph..no matter what mods tney have recieved...marks and spencers st bernard branded under pants and andrex toilet tissue got great business in those times..
