• Jimny Engine Guidelines

Jimny tuning tips from the car tuning guide, we take a look at the best power mods for the Jimny in our latest guide. Available in standard form with power of upto 83bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Jimny. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 91.3bhp to 141.1bhp with modifications varying from a few DIY mods to some pretty major engine work. The higher you go the more unreliable the car will be and you should expect to have to rebuild the engine regularly if you want to extract silly power. A big forced induction upgrade would be needed to push beyond the 100bhp per 1000cc limit. If you have one of the lower powered Jimnys you should think about an engine swap with the engine from the 83bhp tops. Jimny Soft top have produced some interesting cars over the years.

The more you start with the better your gain will be. Don’t waste time on small engines – do a swap. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head. Some Jimny owners report increased MPG with a flowed head.
