Re:Aussie 2006 Jimny - 4" lift, 30" BFGs, cool wheels

The footage might be deceiving but it looks to corner flatly considering the suspension lift!

Thanks Kirkynut

Finally configured an upgraded air intake that works for the 1.8, acceleration and response is much better and the hesitation on take off seems to be completely gone. I've been watching fuel trim and my too rich startup and high revs is no longer.

Some may say that the MAF still restricts it the same but proof is in the day-to-day running so :thefinger:

Grafted the Liana air box outlet into a Jimny air box lid and used the Liana throttle body inlet off the airbag. MAF has been cut out of the Jimny air box and placed after the bigger diameter outlet.




Old and new intake side-by-side

Zukenutter,

What was involved to perform the disc brake conversion?
Did you need to modify the hydraulic brake lines, master cylinder or proportioning valve ?
Was this from a different model vehicle or was this a manufactured kit ?
Please PM me with the information.

Thank you,

Charles

Hi Charles, I used a kit purchased from ADD here in Australia. The kit comes with mounting plates, bolts, handbrake cable brackets/lever and replacement brake lines. It's designed to work with the rear callipers from Mazda 323 which are quite well suited and don't need proportioning valve. Not included are the backing plates.
