standard jimny wading depth

hi everyone , does anyone know how deep a standard jimny can go in water. wheres the intake ? how deep have you gone in your standard jimny?

cheers guys

The intake piping is just above the driver side wheel arch liner and comes out behind the headlight its not that well sealed so water will get in around the joints, i think mid way up the front bumper would be deep enough for a standard jimny, just incase any water splashes into the engine bay and gets sucked in.

air intake is just behind the drivers headlight, through the inner wing.

iv been up to the top of the bumper, i really wouldnt go higher than that.

thanks guys , just wanted to know as thinking of going laning on sunday around south hams and there is a few flooded lanes about at the moment:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: is it a good idea to seal all the standard joints just until i can afford a snorkel ? im thinking snorkel just because i have spent many hours on youtube and seen the water coming over the bonnet when on a downward slope going into a hole full of water.

thanks for the replys

On a standard jimny I have been over the bonnet with the water laping up to the front screen.
BUT I had to change the gearbox tbox and axle oils. water mark came up 3/4 up the door on the side of the doors and the water at the front was from the bow wave which stayed just under the front screen.
And I was driving up a river at the time :laugh: Jimny = unstoppable :woohoo:
This was a test to see if it could do it if I had to with no mods. I would not advise it tho.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: @jo king brave man :woohoo: :woohoo: :pinch:

i have had it up over the bonnet, but iv got a homemade snorkel, i have axel breather aswell i didnt have any problems just a dirty engine

homemade ? that an idea . i got caught out once coming out of silverton , was in a 205 with k&n and no duct pipe. went slow through the flood !! shame the car coming the other way didnt , which then caused a rarther large wave to enter the engine bay and stopped the NEW engine:sick: .

gutted mate i had a 205 gti i loved it.

great little cars. although my nismo tuned skyline blew it out the water:blink: :blink: :blink: :evil:

I had to swim away from an sj once as I drove in a river then the car just nose dived and all you could see was the rear.. took me an hour with just two rachet straps to recover it.:pinch:
On top of that a kingdoms coach pulled up on a bridge to let an audiance of old aged pensioners to watch the whole thing.. Made their day. eventually I sent a friend to get a can of petol and I fed a pipe from it to the petrol pump and off I went.
