Re:Diffs VVT on Jimny Non VVT

Non VVT M13A pictured, the VVT engines have a "bulge" on the left of the front cam cover.

Ah pity I thought it was VVTI lol so what do I do now lol

Alter the gearing in the transfer box, a few companies supply gear kits and Rockwatt Engineering build custom boxes.

Not cheap stuff.....

Hmmm ok I did read this... by @riccy

Also thinking of a 1.6 SX4 engine lol

You need to read Riccy's post again Wuzie, it is exactly your situation......

A non VVT M13A jimny with a 3.9 diff (your car), will run a 31" tyre if you fit the VVT 4.3 diff, lowering the main gearing to suit the tyre.

This will increase ratio's throughout the box, making your low box higher geared, a negative when off roading.

That is why outfits like Trailgear manufacture gears that make ratio changes, they give you a high box that will handle bigger tyres but also an effective low range box. Sometimes a crawler type low range, lots of possibilities, depends how deep your pockets are.

Have a look at the wiki pages, they explain it well. Rockwatt boxes appear to be the choice for serious off roaders.

For example, I Will put VVT diffs (4.3) in my Jimny (M16A non vvt) and 215/75/15 tyres.

Enough?

Maybe in a future I put trail gear planetary (-60% low range reduction) but im scared with the transfer chain.....
