Why do need a supercharger/turbo?

Are you running bigger tyre's than standard?


The jimny drive line isn't going to like that sort of power BTW

You can 1.6 as its cheap and according to about a million people is so much more power it makes you smile right away. Then work our if you still need more power and can afford to do it properly.

Gearing is your friend too. Monkey mentions tires above, basically if you run bigger tires you need bigger ratios. 24% in the jimny box or lots of options with a sierra case are easy starting points. blowing up Jimny gearboxes is easy depending on model and power, if you turbo you will probably want to stick in an aw4.

get the 1.6 engine and some transfer gears according to tyre size, u wont need more.....

and if u go for the sierra transfer u can even get crawler gears, so why ram into a track when u can walk it slowly lol

donno if u re a first time zook owner, or going to be, but remember this is not a 3ton pootrool or cruiser or bigass 4wby,
