I drove behind this car today on my way to Greenstone Leroy Merlin. It looks really impressive. Well done.

[@RoamingHorizons-ZA]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@RohanBarnard]

I'm moving back home after a few years in Europe, I'm seriously considering getting a Jimny after watching this.

[@mundocpc]

I have a 3 door 2023 Jimmny myself, that I use for camping and touring Australia. It is a nice little thing. I believe there are reasons why Jimmnies don't have turbos. Increasing the power of a car involves revising the brake system, body, chassis, clutch, transmision, suspension, etc. They are simple rugged cars, easy and cheap to repair and maintain, and I think the provided engine is quite OK considering how the rest of the car behaves (great off-road, poorly on-road). Just reduce a couple of gears uphill and press the accelerator, the engine is quite rev-happy.

[@dlofblad]

His car is probably very heavy

[@Mzwandile_Makhowane]

Incredible work. Now makes me want to have it again, like when it first came in with the second 3 door offering. 5 doors on a Jimny now will make even better sense.

[@WatchGeek]

Suzuki is SOOOO BLIND to the potential popularity of this car!!! Instead of making ALL the versions available WORLDWIDE, they REDUCE availability where it was sold (europe)!!! If they sold this world-wide they would not only sell like hotcakes, but they (Suzuki) could start a whole new branch of business JUST FOR THE CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS!!! I still can't believe NO ONE in the Suzuki management sees this!!!

[@markcahoon2534]

No Corporation listens to their customers, they have got to the stage, where they tell you what you want.

[@Almond_ESQ]

It's not that simple, the lite version is only sold in Europe because of EU regulations. And speaking at least in the Australian market, Jimny's already sell like hotcakes and Susuki can't make enough to satisfy the Australian market yet, that's why they're not selling them world-wide, Susuki is far from blind about their popularity.

[@TurnMaster]

If these came standard with like 110 kw +, I would already own one. They should have given customers the option to have a 2 lt motor or a 1.5 lt turbo. I reckon they would sell even more, surly I'm not the only person that has been put off simply due to the lack of power. In Japan you can buy these with 660cc 3 cylinder turbo motor.

[@georgythomas8451]

I worked on developing this car. It's not that Suzuki doesn't want to sell this Europe. They just can't if they want to meet the European regulations. Since they don't have EVs or popular hybrid model vehicles, they cant offset the Emissions to bring it below the Euro 6/7 Corporate emissions target. They can't use a bigger engine because they don't have a larger Turbo engine. The engine they are using is underpowered but also understressed. The transmission is Jurrasic but its smooth and bulletproof. Its basically designed to last as long as the Land Cruiser but cheaper and way way lighter, super easy to maintain. The idea is to have less complexity so that there is nothing much to break and is easy to repair.

[@deldridg]

Such a great little platform. Have had a couple of GVs (in Aust they are the Grand Vitaras) and we took them everywhere - once I casually drove around a group of Defenders winching themselves up a steep slope (I offered them a tow - great sport!!) etc. Wherever we went, there was always a Jimny proving its off-road ability (and upsetting people in very expensive rigs!). Love the mods you've done and cheers from Sydney - Dave

Engine update is outstanding...from 130NM to 250 NM is excellent, hope the added turbo doesn't create any ongoing issue to the 4 stoke engine. I love this car except the standard 75kw, 130 nm offer. This does the job in most places but it feels very flat in normal driving..this upgrade is simply amazing, I love it... beautifully upgraded car for sure

[@Commenter-3000]

Lekker rig and it will kill off-road. The suspension and turbo is surely to address the issues I think this vehicle has. But man! A new Jimny and 100K in extras puts you real close to, if not next to some 4x4 bakkies which offer more space inside, more utility, and probably still a better on-road driving experience. Each to their own. Still a nice a build.

[@tlotlangmoncho9826]

It’s really outstanding what they have achieved, i would now buy a Jimny just for that turbo conversion

Now 250nm torque, how did that affect towing capacity (along with upgraded suspension)? and tow ball specification? Normal Jimny tows 1300 kg with brakes (my model) what will this modified Jimny Tow, because I can get a good trailer around 1500 kg to 1700 kg and long Jimny also heavier./

Picked up my new jimny 1.5 this August...After driving the first day looked under the hood and noticed there was no turbo...It defiantly needs a turbo! Especially if you do a lot of highway driving.

[@aquilaphotofilm]

Very cool build, I love the turbo idea for it. I just can't justify the price for such a small 4x4, there are so many other options out there for that price second hand.. I get it though, it's a cool car and I would have one. Though, nimble, reliable and really capable off road.

[@jeremyjames1972]

It's a pity there's no information available regarding the cost for the turbo conversation. Even if you google SG performance there are no details. Maybe they should start promoting it and explain what the kit included and the cost of the install.

[@tungstencarbide7255]

Perhaps it's on purpose that there's little to no info. They could be waiting to have a 3rd party warrantee in place before going aggressive with advertising.

[@erwinkruger-haye2698]

Read the comments…someone says R85k is what they told him when he called them… the problem with quoting prices on a website is often the exchange rate and shipping prices…they change so often….and they have to get updated and people expect a price they screenshotted 6 moths ago….frustrates me too, but an old school phone call usually gets a price…..

Why is your bull bar protecting the bumper, but not the part where the radiator sits? Isn't that the purpose of a bull bar to prevent damaging the radiator in case of hitting wild life?

[@MrRon4444]

Hello there have you put tyre spacer in your car… if so do you recommend it coz it does looks like there is a perfect amount of offset from the wheel arch

[@1515ullas]

Hi there! Your Jimny looks fantastic! I have a few questions and would really appreciate your insights: 1. Are those tyres really 215/75 R15? They look bulkier than a typical 215 to me. I have a 5-door Jimny and found the 215s too small, so I upgraded to 235/75 MT tyres. However, even with the upgrade, the edges of my tyres stay within the fender flares. I noticed your tyres extend beyond the fender flares-how is that possible? Are you using negative offset rims or wheel spacers? If so, could you share the offset details? 2. What’s the total cost of installing the turbo kit? 3. Is the Jimny’s engine, transmission, and differential capable of handling 250Nm of torque? Have you upgraded any of the engine internals? Thanks in advance!

[@RoamingHorizons-ZA]

Definitely 215’s.. but I have 30mm spacers on also which make them look ‘wider’.

[@deancrawford2577]

Is there still a catalytic converter in place and will the converted engine mods still retain its Euro 6 emissions compliance?

[@barendwessels6522]

Hello, In terms of wheel spacing, this seems to run wider than I would expect with the BF 215/75R15 tires and Tough Dog suspension. Is it due to the steel rims, or did you fit spacers as well-or nothing at all?

[@RoamingHorizons-ZA]

I have 30mm spacers on also

[@gerhardstrydom5249]

Looks awesome!! How does the everything around the engine handle the around 75% power upgrade ?

[@RoamingHorizons-ZA]

Engine handles it beautifully! Before the conversion you had the engine screaming in high RPM for in a lower gear for extra power, now the RPM is lower with more power without gearing down.

[@Wanabe-m1o]

[@AngelValtierra-z2u]

Looks amazingly fun to drive! did you time your takeoff from 0/100kmh difference with and WO the turbo kit?

By how much does the turbo shorten the engine lifetime?

That's what it always needed, more power! But I'm concerned about strength of components due to the additional strain. Do suzukis come with strong enough con rods, gearboxes to handle the extra power? I do hope so, I hope they have already been doing in in japan without any issues

I drove the 3 door and on the highway (mostly empty) and above 90km/h it was very wobbly from side-to-side, I felt it could do with a rear sway-bar. Has that been your experience, is the 5 door standard any better, any after market sway-bar that can ve disconected when off-road?

[@RoamingHorizons-ZA]

The standard suspension on the 3-door is super soft and why most people upgrade on this. The 5-door standard suspension is definitely better and it drives better due to the longer wheel base.
