1.6 conversion worth it off road?

im running 1.6 one of the best mod iv done so so much better on road n offroad mine dose it all lanes pnp ect ect plus the eng con is so easy to do

Cheers all, very helpful, think I'll go with the 1.6 and maybe put lower geared diffs in if I feel the need. If I had the cash or the expertise I'd get the V6 but unfortunately not.

Gaz you running a standard t-box?

The 1.6 is the well worth doing I run 235 tyres and found I was struggling to keep up with other traffic but with the 1.6 I can easily keep up with other traffic, I also find it's now better on fuel because I don't need to work the engine as hard.
It's also made a big difference off road it can pull from much lower revs now,I've also fitted a 410 transfer box which is ideal for my needs I've also got a rocklobster but I found I prefer the 410's gear ratios.

Gaz still has the Jimny transfer box in with 195/80 tyres but I know he was thinking about fitting larger tyres and a rock lobster or 410 box.

how much are you looking at for the lot fitted no need to ad any labour I would be doing the work is there a cheeper way around it say getting the belleno instead of the gv motor as I guess there cheeper

If you have a twin cam m13a none vvt engine all you need is an engine from a Suzuki liana and basically take every thing off the 1.3 and bolt it to the 1.6 you will need a screw in tube to hold the oil filter on but their only £10 ish from the dealers and use the 1.6 injectors.

I don't know whats involved in the single cam 13g engine swap but its probably been covered on the forum.
