what engines fit was created by vitara_mad
is there any other engines that will be a straight swap into a sohc jimny as we finding it difficult or very expensive to find a jimny engine

or a engine that will at least fit the gearbox & require wiring up & new mounts making

basicly any info you can give on fitting any engine into the jimny would be great

thanks

Baleno 1.6 fits, martin sells the adapters www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php/jimny-p...aptor-kit/p_120.html

Peugeot 1.7 diesels were popular in sj,s but i've not seen many in Jimnys of course though anything can be made to fit if you have the skills at your disposal.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

A bloke I know bought an SJ fited with a 2 litre pinto which must have given it a bit of ooomph, not sure what was involved in mating it up to the 4WD though

Why not go retro and fit a 1300 SJ engine, Just make sure you change the carb ;)

i believe the old 1.6 Vitara fits. the top two bolts go straight in and new holes needed for the bottom two.
The carb engine is best, no electronic probs. Maybe a slight bit of work to fit the starter and alter the engine mounts.

Question, will the single cam Jimny electronics suit the Baleno engine?
