I guess it escalated a little....rebore and a few bits for inside the engine...ran a GT1544 previous on the M13.....went like a scalded cat!

So I've decided that with 500hp rods and 9:1 pistons I need a bigger turbo.....I have a 6 speed Lexus IS 200 gearbox and am considering a Landrover transfer box as it was a little hairy in the wet with the turbo and just RWD

And here i was, thinking my project where getting a bit out of hand

Going to follow youre project for sure! Been building some 4-600hp Audi and Bmw`s myself before, so i find the high power builds very interesting!
But theres no way i`m going down that road for my own jimny :laugh:

Motor will be sendt tomorrow, and i`ve ordered alot of parts from Partsouq for the swap.. Waterpump, thermostat, crank pulley, tensioner wheel, gaskets etc.

Just left to decide if it`s worth the extra money to buy the Exedy safari tough over the stock exedy.. Over 3 times the price, so i doubt it, but ill get pissed if i have to pull the gearbox again soon haha.

What clutch does the M18a guys use?

Installed Trailmaster steering damper, 2" Trailmaster comfort lift kit and Trailgear brakelines on both axles!
And delivered rims and tires to be mounted, going to get them this afternoon..
A quick detailing job + fit all new bushings in front trail arms tomorrow !

Not sure i like running a steering damper yet though. Feels like im going to hate it in the winter, as it slows down the steering a bit too much8 when i need to be quick.
