Suzuki Jimny BIG BLOCK engine conversion! [EP1] M13A to M16A swap

JC wants more power and Eastie is a bad influence, so he's talked JC into a daunting project: upping the displacement over the modest 1.3L that the little Jimny comes with.
To replace the ailing M13A engine, JC has sourced an M16A from a Suzuki Swift Sport. They say it's almost a straight swap, but is it really that simple? One thing is for sure... there's no replacement for displacement.

Nice effort. Look fwd to seeing the next exciting episode.

So glad I found this video and your channel

Just a 1.6 8v in my 86 samurai was a nice improvement! Gearing goes a long way too. Lower tcase gears and Ring/Pinion gear set bring the power back as well.

These guys do know what a big block engine is right….

Love to see a turbo conversion in that 1.6 think it will go quite well 👌👍

Nice work! I own a suzuki swift sport and am considering swapping it with a m18a engine from a suzuki Liana. Would love to see someone attempt it.

[@chippyjohn1]

Great video fellas. Do you still have the old M13A engine?

[@prescottrobinson1139]

I am just about to do the same thing

[@neilbeacham1244]

Nice work, very helpful in what to expect doing the engine swap, with a longer stroke does that mean power and torque would be produced lower in the rev range?how would affect the gear raitios, the jimny is set up for a higher revving motor thanks for what you are doing, go the turbo

Hi Guys! I noticed that M16a engine in the Swift is around 15 degrees inclined locking at top cover or oil pan shape (exhaust is lower ). has the Jimny the same configuration or not? just wondering is that can cause a premature damage in the M16a if not installed identically.

[@jamesbuilds33]

Good descriptive video, when is the updated version coming out?

[@SuperTaj100]

I'm about to finish doing a swap on my jimny to the m16a from a 2010 swift sport. It's alot less mucking around then the 2011 onwards m16a. It's a complete bolt in swap.
