Improving Jimny's Engine...

[attachment:1]IMG_6524.JPG[/attachment]
Hello! My name is Fabian and I have a small Jimny 1998 car that I really love what I do with many heavy tracks ... With nearly 7 years of use and some adaptations such as lift kit two inches high, extra reduction, tires 235 I realy start to miss an engine a bit more powerful ... Some friends advise me to change the engine for a 1.8 to 2.0 AP, others tell me to put a small turbo on the car and told me that probably will be enough ... I do not really like very drastic transformations and I think that is not necessary for our little "Ninja" but some little "breath" get me out of situations heavier would be very welcome ... Any tips on how to improve the engine performance of Jimny? I'll apreciate the help!

What model engine is in it now?

Im guessing its the g13bb engine at that age?

The vitara engine is a common upgrade and is also on my list to do to make it better on the road

Yes, this is the engine of my Jimny ... It is very hard to find engines Vitara here in Brazil, and maintaining them is expensive too ... This is why we prefer the AP, which are reliable and easily find parts for them. But as I said, I do not like very drastic alterations, rather some other component that would help but I have not demanded much work! I've been told also that a turbo would help ... I'm honestly looking for help in this regard, the Jimny is a car that only in 2010 he returned to Brazil and adaptations to it are not here yet so popular!

I've seen several people mention supercharging their Jimnys but I'm yet to see one that been done.
If you search for Eaton on here there is a few people thinking about it.

I'll check it out! thanks!

are you looking for an increase in HP or more torque?
If you feel the need for more power in the trails, then
the chances are you need more torque, if you need to
make your jimny run faster in the highway, you probably
really need more HP.
If more torque is what you need, you can change your
transfer case with a samurai transfer case with crawler gears.
