Turbo M16A Jimny

Very neat!

need to replace the steering wheel. The rubber has come loose from the metal. The jimny steering is vague enough let alone when the actual wheel moves! was looking a few options:
-replace original for same generation (looks most sensible)
-put one on from a swift sport (not sure if it will fit)
-put quick release and delete airbag (never a good idea to remove life saving devices)
any ideas?

Somebody put a Swift wheel or some other Suzuki in a Jimny with all the working wires for the steering wheel buttons. Not sure if it was here I saw it but it is possible. 
My 05 Jimny had a plastic steering wheel but my current steering wheel is from a newer 2012 (?) Jimny with nice leather and a bit thicker wheel.
No airbag warning lights came up as the airbag was moved over and was hooked up with the battery disconnected. haven't tested the airbag though, hope I'll never have to  
 

Apexi air filter put on. The other Ram air one started melting on the rubber lip! Thought I would get the one that has proven performance increases whilst providing decent filtration. Car goes in dyno today. Will up from .4 bar to .55 bar (6psi to 8psi) that increase with the free flowing exhaust should really make a substantial performance increase. Nervous that it goes well. The engine hasn’t missed beat so far. 

Does anyone know the ID of the power steering reservoir hoses? Need to relocate it

Half a bar of boost making 156BHP big increase in Torque low down. Standard 1.3 Jimny has 81lbf-ft and the liana m16a turbo engine is now making 148 lbs-ft!

I have bought a M16a sport engine to forge on the side   

Thanks for posting this info. I have a Morris Minor with a Liana engine in it. You've got me thinking.

Sounds interesting.

that would certainly turn some heads!
