Suzuki Jimny | Harrop TVS900 Supercharged

[@IBOO57]

The fact that Suzuki hasn't factory fitted the 1.4 Turbo from the Swift Sport is a massive oversight.

[@klas_gg]

They need a golden goose for when (if) the demand tapers out

[@Rhubarb237]

The BoosterJet engine is a little laggy and better suited for road use. Supercharger would be heaps better for hill climbing etc

[@ronanmcnamee2008]

Yeah or even the 1.6 N/A engine from the old swift sport,

[@alanmay7929]

suzuki works very closely with toyota, they could have just used a 2.0 l na engine from a corolla, much more fuel efficient....

[@ronanmcnamee2008]

@@alanmay7929 most of the corollas in Europe at least are paired with a hybrid system in the last 10 years, so might'nt have been an option, I personally think the 1.6 134bhp swift sport engine would have been a great option,

The best part about this video is how it has brought out all the top engineers of KZbin together to advertise their expertise, how they could graft a Holden 202 red six with triple Webers onto this same vehicle in their shed for $800, why would you pay so much money for this conversion. I take my hat off to them, they will show us the way.

Another amazing product from Harrop 10/10

[@BigRick50]

I really like the integrated intercooler arrangement. It's a bit like the heat exchanger BMW uses on the s58 engine. CSF do an aftermarket heat exchanger for the s58 with a thermal barrier gasket to stop heat soak from the block going into the intercooler assembly. Apparently it's very effective. It looks like it would be of use in your product.

[@craigsampson3386]

@@williamtranter5760 there is a similar package available through our Australian website called OZJIMNY which is basically an intake and exhaust with a retune, but the price outweighed its worth unfortunately and pending certain typical 4x4/accessory modifications most Jimny owners do which makes them slower, this NA retune only basically gets you back to stock standard performance/acceleration so most owners just skip that and pay the extra for a turbo kit.

Keen to hear how much more fuel this thing uses than a stock jimny. How is highway fuel consumption affected? Stock jimnys get around 450km per tank. Be closer to 300 with this mod? Bigger fuel tank needed for sure

[@thejoetandy]

yeah important question here

[@Muffin_Masher]

only 450km? wow that's terrible. 10 litres per 100k in a 60kw nugget that weighs 1100kg. Petrol is such a waste of money :( The only point of driving something with less than 150 horsepower is economy, my ~120hp diesel gets 1200km. The tank is slightly bigger at 53 litres, but so is the car at 1500kg.

Awesome engineering by the looks of things. Very OEM. Using stock dirty end of airbox is huge for snorkel people - although that may leave some power on the table. What exhaust were the dyno cars running? Stockor aftermarket?

[@HarropTV]

3-Door Stock Exhaust, 5-Door was a Torqit system.

[@IJustAccidentallyThe]

@HarropTV That may account for some of the difference. I wonder how much more you can get out of these tiny motors with a full setup with headers

[@craigsampson3386]

​@@IJustAccidentallyThe maybe another 15rwhp at best? You'd need to push more boost with a smaller pulley, larger throttle body and bigger fuel pump to see any decent upgrades over what its already making here and set it up on e85 aswell with a good tune, perhaps a Syvecs ECU too, they keep all factory functionality aswell for the JB74 Jimny. I'm keen to see what's capable of Harrops kit when pushed to the limits, obviously they're making safe power in their configuration kit for reliability on the whole drive train too and realistically its enough for most people and a predictable power curve for off roading which turbo kits can't offer. The biggest powered Jimny I've seen is over in Japan years ago with unnamed forged internals and running a Greddy turbo kit at 250rwhp, its on KZbin by Carstyle or Jimnystyle i think they're called? You can read the English sub titles translated from Japanese if you turn on the captions. Pirate Camp Co's Jimny here in Australia this year in 2024 made 210rwhp on stock internals surprisingly, with another different locally made turbo kit AMV Automotive from memory? But upgraded their throttle body, fabbed up a custom plenum and the other usual stuff like upgraded fuel pump, injectors, fuel rail etc and running a Syvecs ECU. They're testing the limits of stock internals before it dies and then building another motor with forged rods and pistons from Ital Design and pushing it further again so keen to see their results. Pretty crazy the stock engine can handle triple the stock power on stock internals though lol surprised Suzuki built the Jimny engines that strong. Pirate Camp Co's Jimny is on KZbin to see too. AMV Automotive over in Perth have a test mule making abit less power at 204.7rwhp also on stock internals, but interestingly have taken it to the drag strip and ran a 13.87 sec down the 1/4 mile in a 2 door 5sp manual lol thats nipping at the heels of a VE SS Commodore time. I think their content is only on Instagram to view. They're the bigger power boosted Jimnys that I'm aware of, might be more but they're the ones I've personally seen so far. I know HKS make a supercharger kit for the Jimny too but I'm unaware of power and performance figures from them.

[@xX-Frotnite-Player--Xx]

Why make the airbox carbon fibre? What problems would arise from making it using simple plastic mouldings? Is carbon fibre cheaper to produce on a small scale?

[@thejoetandy]

vacuum forms for composites cost tens of thousands of dollars, and injection moulds more like half a million.

[@xX-Frotnite-Player--Xx]

@ very interesting, thanks

[@paulcoote3094]

Awesome 👌

[@TVRV8]

Why are you running this on 98 RON stock? It's designed to run on 91 (89 in Japan) - the Suzuki quoted 100hp is with this fuel. Anyone considering this conversion should also factor-in the substantial hike in fuel costs if this has to be run on 98 - in NZ, 98 costs another 30 or 40 cents a litre over 91.

Greater intake air flow means greater exhaust air flow, an aftermarket exhaust system would be advantageous.
