Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a 2005 on jimny with the vvt m13a in a couple of months, The mods Im thinking are: 4inch lift (tough dog 80mm with 30mm coil spacers) would that lift allow me to run 31x10.5r15 or 30x9.5r15? And are there any real problems running that size with stock gearing and engine, Also looking into a m15a swift conversion, if anyone can tell me if its an easy conversion, or to just leave the stock engine. Cheers. |

Would it be the same if I put in a m15a into it? |

^^ what atari said pleny of info here, just search on the rigs sections and Ill say just get the 3" lift, chop the guards and later if u still need more ad some spacers to accommodate sagging if any for bar weight ect |

After reading a few jimny builds, I've seen that 2inch lift and 215/75/r15 looks better than I thought, would anyone have an idea of the cost of a 1.5 suzuki swift engine conversion? I've found an engine for $650 on eBay. Cheers |

if you go with the 215's I would say drive it with the 1.3 first I have a non vvt jimny on 215/75's and it's fine. there is also a 1.8 M series you can put in too. search a bit and you will find a few builds on here with the 1.8 it's quite an easy swap as far as engine swaps go. for 4wding gearing is always better then more power |

Benz wrote: my god he's selling that already? x2 buy that one Yep! Wish I could afford to dump that sort of money in a matter of months. Whoever buys it will have get some serious value. The build had a sort of "here today, gone tomorrow" feel about it, was fun to watch though. I think he just wanted to outdo his buddy. |

Does anyone know of a rough price for reduction gears? Cheers. |
|
| Author: | zukenutter [ Wed Mar 06, 2013 8:21 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Help with jimny |
I think the Trial Jimny gears are around $800 from what others have said. They offer 20%, 24% and 27% reduction in both high and low range. The Sierra transfer swap has become a more popular option though and offers a large selection of different ratio options. |

Is it just laggy without out them? Or pretty serious? |

Probs live with able on 215s, but 235s and up it will burn your clutch and you have limited to no control off road... |

Is there any other cheaper options? |

| Author: | zukenutter [ Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:26 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Help with jimny |
Yes, swap to a NON VVT Jimny transfer for about 24% reduction, but you'll need a custom intermediate (jack) shaft and a few other misc bits |

^^^ For this to work on the highway you'll need to run 31s minimum |

 198 euros plus post etc find a cheap sierra case in good nick and do it yourself cheaper option than that would be get 215's tyres. Wheel like that till u kill the tyres (2 years time more or less depending on tyre and amount of kms) and it would be enough time to u to decide if you need bigger and to get the money for it |

What if I were to buy an older jimny with the transfer case. Would that need gearing? To run 235/75/r15? Cheers |

Ok, So im thinking of getting the newer model (05-12), I just prefer a few things on it. I would just need trialjimny gears, then it should be fine to run 29" or 30"? |

| Author: | zukenutter [ Thu Mar 07, 2013 11:40 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Help with jimny |
31s would be better, don't go more than 20% if you want to drive at highway speed. Like Bert said, run 215s for a while and you won't need gears, big tyres are over rated |
