The Jimny of the Yakuza

Or maybe swap to auto gearbox from another VVT?
More costly of course and need to get the interoir details..

Edit: No, too costly.. forget it.

I'd say get the fat tyres on......but I can imagine how much the divorce would cost!

Gearing job has been kind of put on hold for a while.. Think best option is to change to expensive after market gears for low gear only in my existing transfer box. I think i like the highway revs as they are now. VVT manual is not your best option if you like to modify and put bigger wheels i guess.
In other news:
- MOT tomorrow. I have to put on my old legal 195/80 tires as 235's will not pass. otherwise should be ok.
- Come easter i will change to M16. low milage engine allready in my garage being stripped for its Liana past.
Pics will come.
Has anyone seen a build/how-to thread for M16 conversion better than this one:

Or anything with pictures?

I think i've got all parts needed like rocker cover gasket, oil sump blue-silicone, oil filter stud..
Service parts and oil, and even a new clutch and an engine block heater element.

I thought it was a straightforward conversion....swap your bits over and fire it up.

Putting this one:


Into this one:

Think I got it mostly sorted out and well planned.

It is a M16 from a '08 Liana going into my' 05 Jimny.

Thats exactly the same swap ive just done (M13VVT to M16VVT), except my 1.6 engine came from a swift sport.

Its pretty straigforward as Kiethy says, only problem i found was the water pump rear outlet wouldnt swap over, so i had to get a length of flexible rad hose to link the pump to the bottom of the rad.

The 1.6 liana throttle body fitted straight onto the jimny inlet manifold also (no grinding needed).
