Jimny diesel conversion

How many mpg would a 1.7TD vauxhall engined Jimny do.

gotta be better than a standard jimny.

Not too sure of exact figures but I would imagine it will be in the 40-45mpg bracket. Depending on which Vauxhall/Izuzu engine you are using as the engine management system and ancillaries have changed significantly from early astras to what are now have in the new astra's. Obviously the older the engine you get the easier it will be to wire up etc.

Also the MPG might be better when the engine is in the Jimny as it will weigh a bit less than an Astra!

Just read the original post properly!!! A 1.7td Jimny I would imagine would be more like 48-50mpg maybe more if you drive sensibly! Altho if it was me having the extra power would mean that I would just boot it everywhere!:laugh:

The one on ebay by any chance ??

Id say around the 40-45 mpg max.

yes ive seen that one, i was thinking of doing a diesel conversion to mine, but as i only do around 1500 miles in the jimny i didnt look into it,

but ive been in a 1900 td (306 engine) SJ and it was quick!!

money or skills no object i'd love a TDCI jimny, something like a transit connect or Fiesta lump, remap it for silly torque, relocate the ecu out of harms way. Realistic 50+mpg and power to boot.

im a vag boy, it would have to be a vag 2.0 tdi pd 140 bhp, plenty of power for the unstable jimny!

enough power to tow a jimny on a trailer at 50-60mph and still get 28mpg

Seen the one on e bay and got me thinking.:laugh:

aye decent motors until the turbo and the oil pump packs in :pinch:

i think you can get conversion kits for the pug 1900td to go into the SJ's not sure about jimnys yet

I had a jetta 57 plate sport tdi, was pretty new though so maybe that helped

A pug lump in the jimny would be great, in fact any deisel lump :lol:

I'd love a factory diesel but they are serious money in comparison to petrol ones, shame they didn't see it worth officially importing them to the UK.
