hello im new to this forum and only got jimny last week.
loving it and goes up and over anything and everything. its just the amount of fuel she drinks driving normal.
so im thinking of getting her remaped and was wondering weather anyone has done it on this site.
id like to drop a derv engine in her but dont have enough time as im working flat out and cant not have a jeep just sold van 2night maybe should have put that engine in her. vw caddy but its just wiring the engine is always the problem.
Yes mate the bigger you go the worse, im on 215/75's which are quite a bit bigger than standard although not BIG by any means and im getting about 25 to the gallon.
I would leave it alone. There are not really any engine tuners that I know of who would really understand what you would be looking for in mapping an Offroader.
You would want to improve torque more than power and you would want it low down. Quite the opposite of all my boy racer power chasing days where torque was important but in true Jeremy Clarkson style "POWER" was what you wanted.
I think a re-map of the standard engine without new cam(s) would be quite fruitless also. You would end up spending alot of money for no noticable gains.
Money might be better spent on a Rocklobster conversion as even the high ratio is lower (I think by 10% but don't quote me on the figure). This has an effect of giving more available torque but less top end speed - which is not what a Jimny is all about anyway. At about £500 + the bits, it's not that much more than a long session on the rollers with a decent tuner I suppose.
Or just leave it alone and enjoy what you've got for nothing!
