A m16a vvt will cost you 400 pound + exhaust + remap.. Everything bolt on, and no MOT issues..
Would probably give you a wide 150-160nm 110-120hp curve..
If you got youre m13a ecu mapped to this setup, myself and several others would be interessed in buying in on the remap, if the tuner could flash our ecu's as well..
I just had a chat with a local motorsport outfit and am now pretty certain I will stay with the M13AA fitted. The throttle body set up and exhaust will cross over to a M16A if I find the 13 unreliable or overstretched.
More interestingly, they supply a very compact transfer box with a centre differential for rallycross cars, they are developing a low range gear set that would make it very usable in the jimny.
Full time 4x4 on tarmac, comes at a fair cost £4k ish but that combined with ATB diffs front and back would make for a go kart.
Stage One - completed this month.
1. New front brakes, clean and adjust rears
2. New clutch
3. BFG AT's x 5
4. New KYB springs at standard height
5. Proflex 15mm spring seats
6. +25mm bump stops
7. AVO adjustable dampers +25mm
8. Rear shock relocate brackets
9. Rough country steering damper
Stage Two
1. Rear ATB differential
2. Front ATB differential
3. Exhaust
4. Throttle bodies and fuelling computer
5. Rolling road set up
Stage one has cost 2k to complete, each item on stage two will cost about 1k and will take me about a year to complete.
Engine mods at the far end of the project.... bummer but it's the way to do it. Chassis first, power second.

(oops. forgot the transfer box, if that pans out another 4k at the end)
Only issue i can see,
Unles you have done some careful measuring , Longer rear dampers with the completely pointless repositioners will be to long and with trash themselves pretty quickly on compression.
Hi Jezz,
I got the +25mm dampers as I'm unsure about the final height, it will be either at +15mm or at +25mm. I have got +25mm bump stops and will carefully check travel when fitting. If I am concerned I will go to +25mm seats straight away. At £100 per corner I definitely don't want to damage the dampers. Thanks for the nod.
Busta, thanks for your input. I have had a think and am going stay with the M13AA, I have always liked high revving low cc engines and the planned modifications will all transfer to the M16A if I'm not happy.
I will happily share the results, if anybody wants to buy in on any part (i.e. the final map) I'm happy to oblige. It might get me a better deal and make the tuners work a bit sharper if they think there is more business to be had. The map will be specific to the ITB's and exhaust, so I don't know how much use it would be. (OlaGB)
