Turbo M16A Jimny

Some pictures of the old girl

Need to attach a wire to that shielding and connect to a specific pin on the ECU (shield ground) waiting for some more connectors.

Jimny has been transported to the garage with the Dyno, I am going there tomorrow to show what I have done etc. hope I have done it properly. In hindsight I would of not used crimp connectors as it’s harder to inspect the connection and potentially you can crimp the insulation and make a poor connection. The morning It went I noticed some silly errors I made, and was frantically re-wiring it.

I spoke to a Suzuki swift tuning company on the subject of spark plugs the other day and I asked what power the standard m16a can take. They said that the M16a from the swift sport is good to around 180-200 BHP. After that the cylinder liners can slide and people mistake it for the head bolts lifting. He said my engine will be better as it has a low compression ratio ( non VVT Liana has 9.7:1) that means that it will be more resistant to Pre-detonation (knock).I asked about forging and he said it’s really expensive on a m16a, as company’s don’t sell loads so the prices are really high. So engine swaps become more feasible. I am not chasing huge power but I want to get the most I can

Was thinking I might put a electric water pump and electric fan, something like this:

Visited dyno and they were happy with what I had done. He is going to start it tomorrow and is excited to do it, which is always a good sign. Took some pictures of some of the cars there. The MR2 is the rare supercharged version. I always wanted a Toyota celica gt4 as I had a Tamiya kit car as a child.

Still here reading with interest, not saying much as you are in uncharted territory for me.
Good luck on the Dyno.
Early MR2 my cup of tea, nice and rare for just being a MK1 even without the supercharger, bet it sounds great.
