Fitting a Turbo or Supercharger to Gen4
The best thing for the Jimny would be full time 4wd
But it would be pretty much impossible to achieve.

l have to say the extra torque of a turbo would be nice. Although the Jimny is okay in standard form.

It is possible using a lada niva transferbox these have differential inside
Also i believe (member) Keithy is running around 200hp from an 1.5 turboed M series

They don’t need to run rich. They just need to run a safe A/F ratio. Which is done by tuning and controlling the fuel.Are they changing the crank? The problem with adding any kind of forced induction is detonation, so the engine has to run rather rich when on boost* unless you drop the compression ratio. Super unleaded helps.
*which is why turbo cars used to do well in the NEDC fuel economy tests but appallingly in the real world - NEDC had such slow acceleration that the turbos never really spooled up.
As for the crank. Depends how strong it is. But most standard engines are strong enough to cope with low boost applications. Which is what kits like this are.

That isn’t the case. Where he said the tcs kicked in was taking a 90 degree turn on wet/damp tarmac at speed, cutting over the white line and accelerating. I image in a stock Jimny you stand a 50:50 chance of activating the tcs in such a situation.In the car wow video Matt was struggling with the traction control kicking in although he was blaming the tires rather than the turbo. I still think it’s an accident waiting to happen if you don’t know how to handle a Jimny on the road.
As for the comment “an accident waiting to happen”. No wishing to be rude or upset. But do you live in a cave and be completely unaware of any performance vehicles for the past 60-70 years? Let alone what goes on in the modifying community.
In the Carwow vid Matt was clocking mid 8s 0-60mph times. That wasn’t even quick in the mid 1980s!!!

lt was about right for a "hot hatch" of the time. However we're talking about putting 150bhp through the rear wheels of a lightweight 4x4 with a high GofG and roly-poly off road suspension, in RWD mode.
Someone needs to try it, and report back on here if they are still alive.
Our standard 2020 Jimny loses traction on corners in the dry lf you're not careful. With 50% more power and probably twice the torque you'll have to hope the airbags save you when you stack it.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

The car then started skidding onto the outside of the bend. I just kept my cool, neither braking or moving the steering wheel. The car then regained grip in a very worrying manner.
For any 150 type bhp output, I would suggest a suspension redesign would be needed as well as a stability system tweak. An Electronic Stability system was added to the Gen 3 cars if I remember correctly in around 2016 or 2016.

It was about right for a semi warm hatch. MG Maestro Turbo was more like 6.9sec 0-60mph. And frankly hot hatches simply were not the pinnacle of performance.lt was about right for a "hot hatch" of the time.
Early 1970s muscle and pony cars where able to run well into the 13's on a 1/4 mile (in the 5's 0-60mph), modded a lot faster. So mid 8 sec is not overly overwhelming.....
I think you worry way too much. You said on another forum you have never used full throttle in your Defender D250 diesel. Which also isn't really all that speedy....However we're talking about putting 150bhp through the rear wheels of a lightweight 4x4 with a high GofG and roly-poly off road suspension, in RWD mode.
150hp is nothing in something like a Jimny. Must be 1000's of people running way more in lightweight vehicles including lots of 4x4s. And as I said earlier in this thread, Jeep sold the Wrangler weighing hardly any more with 170hp and RWD. Lots and lots of V8 powered Land Rover's about too and an 80" Series is probably lighter than a Jimny.
eh? There are several videos of people driving the 165hp Twisted Jimny. All have survived the savage unbridled power....Someone needs to try it, and report back on here if they are still alive.
Which as said in your previous thread is either something wrong or driving style. Unless trying I've never had loss of traction in mine and I really do drive it hard.Our standard 2020 Jimny loses traction on corners in the dry lf you're not careful.

lt would certainly help if you were planning to increase the engine power, but would also make the Jimny better on road in conditions such as rain, when you can't engage 4wd on the standard vehicle.
