jimny engine conversion

Post by kbjimny »

I was talking to one of your members at the Wandin 4wd show about putting in a 1.6 baleno engine in my 1999 jimny. Can anyone can give me some information on what is involved in this conversion.

you'll need an adaptor to fit the motor to the box, benT from outerlimits makes one for a sierra, that you can use.
you will have to use the jimny sump and oil pick-up and drill out the holes on the drivers side engine mount to get it to line up
i would use all of the jimny manifolds, injection and sensors. this does work as i've made a 1.6 run on a jimny computer

the hardest part is getting the power-steer and air-con to fit, the two bolts that mount to the head won't line-up.
