Got emailed this today (pdf attached). Company is in Oz, but hopefully something will be available here in the UK at some point. If I'm converting Aus $ to Sterling correctly, it works out at about £5k, which is comparable to supercharger kits for other marques.
Not saying the Jimny is slow, but a bit more grunt would be nice. I plan to keep my SZ5 long term, so once out of warranty I'd maybe consider something like this. Hopefully by then they will be available with a few people having run them successfully.

Although quite a few V8 powered Series Land Rover's about. Which weigh very similar to the Jimny. I had a Series 3 with a Tdi in, probably made more low end torque than the supercharged Jimny would.
Also got a 3.9 V8 powered TR7 which probably weighs less than a Jimny. With the traction and stability control on the 4th Gen Jimny, I can't see it really being an issue.

Maybe.A supercharged Jimny sounds fun, although l have a feeling it would make the handling a bit scary on a wet road.

Series Land Rovers are much like the Jimny and rwd only on the road.ls the Land Rover Series 3 full time 4wd? The Jimny is only 2wd on road.
With full time 4wd you can put a lot more power down safely.
