- Yep! We just scored ourselves a new Suzuki Jimny. Join us along the ride while we develop and manufacture a turbo kit and build this little weapon, with many adventures to come!

I love simple follow along videos like this. This will be interesting to follow in the future. Happy days to come
Thanks heaps for the support Danny! Any recommendations for next time?
great video mate , i have one and absolutely love it , but some extra power would be excellent
Thank you mate! I love this one too, but that’s definitely the goal!
nice shirt!!
Yeah the only landcruisers 💪
It’s not a race car. Once you understand that you will start to understand the Jim y appeal
I 100% understand it’s a fun little car that’s not built to go fast, and I’m not trying to build it into a race car either, but I have a huge interest in increasing the overall performance of stock vehicles with turbo kits which has lead to some market leading products over the last 6 years. So to not include this new vehicle I love in that would not make sense.
are you able to tune the factory ecu
We’ve been able to read it, so technically yes
Mine has 73.268 hp. I have a Wednesday motor. Ha ha ha How long to develop the bolt on upgrade you reckon? Subbed, liked and invested in this project. Question. I have the automatic, how much power do you think it robs?
I’m jealous of your 1 HP 🙃 I expect this to take the next 6 months at least mate. Thank you for the sub and like!
Regarding the auto, it varies on power levels and controllability. They can rob around 30-50hp at around 400hp mark on a diesel, to give you an idea, so let’s call it around 5-10%
Probably better off installing a stock 2 litre engine. Or a small TD diesel.
Good stuff though.
We aren’t trying to get into engine swaps, we just want to develop a nice simple kit people can utilise to double their power output on a factory engine 🤞

Fair enough.
Would be interesting to see a small super charger instead of a turbo on the Jimny too?
Looking forward to the outcome.
@@mavericmorph5358We are only really interested in turbocharging, most supercharger technology is out dated in 2024. Plus the use of wasted energy is so much more efficient when it comes to increasing performance, would be interesting to see the difference in the real world though!

Agreed.
I agree with you the Suzuki Jimny although a sweet little 4X4 our son has one and l drove it and l wonder were the horses power was l thought it was around 100 but its 72 well my wife drives a Suzuki Baleno and it has enough horse power to get it down the road she likes driving it so do l now you were talking about simplicity in motor vehicles well my 1997 Toyota Hilux is much simpler than a Suzuki Jimny it has virtually nothing well the original owner got it optioned out air-conditioning which does work cruise control that doesn't work and a radio cassette player which sort of works and it did have power steering and the high pressure hose was leaking so l removed it and binned it who needs power steering now l started driving in the 1970s and l never had power steering although l owned some vehicles with power steering and a lot without it connects you to the vehicle more and it is manual also getting back to the Jimny it needs more power to describe it as gutless l have asked my son is there anything you can do without voiding it's warranty he said no
Absolutely spot on, gotta love the old Hilux’s however! Had many myself and it’s how we got started doing what we do.
@@hd_hayden l obviously agree with you l do also like Suzuki's but we're they make the Suzuki's in India on the same production line they make the Toyota Starlet a rebadged Suzuki Baleno as far as l know they only sold in South Africa they also sell the Suzuki Baleno in South Africa those South Africans are spoilt for choice
There must be something wrong with the Jimny’s sold in your part of the World. Mine will quite happily sit at 70mph on cruise control or higher speeds if needed. Yet you say you struggle to maintain 62mph (100kph)! Btw a dyno doesn’t measure Horse Power. It measures torque and rpm and then derives Horse Power via an equation. Ie Horse Power is a calculated value rather than a measured one.
On the brochure it said 101 HP!!
What a scam
Power quoted on the brochure is different to power output at the wheels as manufacturers quote it at the engine.
