My Jimny is 150BHP at .4 boost. Its going to the dyno to be put up to .55 boost. Should be 180BHP. Driven it a year with zero issues. drives beautifully with stiffened suspension. I previously had a 230BHP mazda mx5 and the Jimny is so much more fun.

The problem l see with turbocharging a Jimny is traction.
You can't use 4wd on road, it's RWD only.

So, unless you can somehow fit a centre differential the turbo Jimny will likely shoot off the road into the nearest ditch/hedge/tree like a demented clockwork toy when you floor it.

Ah thats half the fun pal, mines quite predictable and I can feel when the back will and won't come out, it's simply just a matter of throttle control and weight distribution

Nice to hear you've had good results, have you done anything internal with the engine, forged rods?, Port and polish?. How about fueling, injectors and fuel pump?
