Jimny Supercharger

I saw this on a local Jimny club Facebook page. Thought it was interesting.

Rotrex Supercharger:

During installation:

I didn't do too much digging into it but for anyone interested here is a link to the Rotrex website:

The M13A Jimny is fairly close to the bottom of the list.
At approximately $4000 I think I would probably stick to an engine swap.

I was looking at the Rotrex kit a while back(more the gearing tech as Kawasaki are putting superchargers on bikes) I went turbo as I already had the turbo.

$4000 aud....that must be nearly 300 quid!

Might have a play at making one as I have a few inducers knocking around.

Very true but I love blowers and if I had dosh to waste I'd love to do it but if I had dosh to waste I'd get a BMW X5 - or maybe both!

I've been following your build with a lot of interest and will continue. If I was going to do something like this, I would have a hard time deciding between a turbo or supercharger. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The short story is still that, at 195,000 Philippine pesos (a little over $4000 USD), I doubt that I would go with either. I will keep my fingers crossed that you post performance results on your thread.

Just saving up for the dyno time at the moment Bob....narrowly escaped divorce with the expense of fitting the turbo

Will post back with the results in the jimny turbo thread for sure.
