Hey I have my beloved Suzuki Jimny and it blew what I thought was the head gasket so I replaced that and got the head machined. since it didnt get hot a thought it would be all good... anyways I notice water still in the oil. turns out its coming from just under a valve spring! so seeing that engine has 214,000k I might just put a M15a In it...

So Is it as simple as swapping parts from my m13a onto my m15a and what parts exactly?

[jimny_timmy]

Sump, oil pickup, oil filter input. That should be it. But check the thread in the good tech section on m series conversions. Follow the M18 destructables. I don't think you'll need to do the throttle body and injectors for the m15.

yeh i looked at that but it didnt seem to cover M13a-m15a non vvti... went straight to m18a?

[jimny_timmy]

Sump and pickup will be the main issue. Everything else should be pretty close to straight swap

good to know. getting keen.

boy93 and Paulw have both done m15 conversions into their jims, maybe sus out those build threads?

[jimny_timmy]

They did vvt swaps, but it shouldn't be too much different... Easier if anything I would reckon
