Is there any point is chaning a jimny ECU to get more power?

[BlueSuzy]

no.

Seconded.

[monley]

What other things should i do for more power?

[atari4x4]

gearing

[monley]

Maybe i use it as a daily driver.

i seen this the other day

Nice!!

Do you have $7-10K

[Benz]

haha yeah have seen these b4.

don't think it would be worth it...
you could do a lot to a jimny for 7-10k

and do your really need more power?
well for that price anyway

Wouldn't going smaller tyres reduce power as you are effectively shifting down the torque/power curve for a given RPM? ie a smaller tyre rotates slower then a bigger tyre for a given RPM (speed)? Good for highway cruising though as you are using less fuel but less good for power.

Smaller tyres won't increase power but WILL increase torque at the ground.

Smaller tyres have to spin faster to do the same road speed so engine revs and fuel consumption will both rise compared to standard size tyres.

I Don't want a sierra becasue i like the comfort of the jimny.

might go with gears.

there isnt much choice out there for jimnys, zukenutter had some and he said it would scream on the highway, 4500rpm or something.

so if you are gonna any sot of touring, it might not be the best idea.

maybe you should just buy a commodore to get your speed fix?

or even a 1980's excel, im driving one at the moment and it is way faster and easier to dive then the jimny,

[monley]

i hate holdens. haha. But im not into touring at all.

well in that case gearing is probably the best option, i think you can put a sierra trasnfer case in and get the gears for that, opens up a few more options for ya, and might be cheaper.

[neofitou]

yep, sierra Transfer case with whatever gears you want.
With only 235s I would probably go 4.9:1.

[tanshi]

for 235s i wouldnt go any lower than 4.1:1

[monley]

How many revs would be doing with 4.9:1. ratios at 100kph?

[tanshi]

from what i can work out.

about 4800

Thats too high for my liking abut 4,100 would be the max. Can you get reduction gears just for lowrange?

[tanshi]

no

[tanshi]

4.1:1 gears would get you a reasonable low, and about right on the road

[monley]

Dam

What ratios would i be looking at to sit on 4100rpm at 100kph.

[tanshi]

that would be about stock give or take a couple of hundred.

[monley]

At 100kph i sit on 3000rpm atm

[tanshi]

you an auto?
