Re:Engine for jimny

Hi all new to the jimny scene just trying to find out what engine goes in my 2003 02 soft top jimny.. basically killed mine and need a new engine but getting confused as what is easy to fit or identical replacement
Cheers

Should be G13bb
Does it have a large black cover on front of engine over cam belt
Maybe says 16V on it

Can u fit the g16bb engine in or is there any other engines that’s are east to fit without any major modofcations

Thanks ben

The two different types are

one has a crank sensor and a cam sensor
one has just a cam sensor

The camshaft pick up sprocket is different between the two, so if you get the wrong one either the cam has to be swapped (and I believe you have to drill the block if you need a crank sensor), or you can remove the pick up sprocket and replace it, but it has to go on in the right place. There is a post on here about swapping it.

No-one really knows which engine you have, the soft top could have either, you need look for the crank sensor to tell.

Thanks for that do you know where the crank sensor is located on these engines as I can crawl under it and see if I can find it..

If your engine looks like this, It's behind the bottom belt pully if get under it from the front.
