Re: 'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ
Found a possible solution to my MPG concerns. Found this: http://www.bigjimny.com/images/documents/transferboxratios.pdf It states that the Jimny transfer box ratio in HIGH from 2005+ is 1:1 instead of 1.403:1 like on the SJ. If this is correct then great, but can anyone confirm that the Jimny trans...

Re: 'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ
Does anyone know the gear ratios of the FSO Polonez gearbox (1.9d)? I've searched but found nothing.
Other than the pug 1.9 conversion, what other conversions have been done that can be sourced in the UK?
Regards
Stuart

Re: 'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ
I would run it on 3.73 Samurai diffs with a rock lobster transfer box. I have downloaded a guide on building a rocklobster box, filed it under 'things to do once I get my SJ' Thanks for the advice. This is a long shot but does anyone know if the SJ in this video is on this forum or any other forum?...

Re: 'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ
To be honest the maximum cruising speed you'll be driving at will be around 65-70 on 33s if you've ever driven one on 33s at 75 you'll see why I'm saying that, I've had mine up to 80 on an Aroad and it was a bit hair raising to say the least :lol: I have never driven a SJ with 33's, actually, I've ...

Re: 'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ
Thank you for your response twiss. However, I understand that a SJ has a diff ratio of 3.73:1 and what I can find about the vitara suggests the ratios are 5.125:1 or 4.875:1, either way only making the situation worse. 5.125:1 = 70mph @ 4500rpm!! haha Maybe my values are incorrect, can anyone confir...

'Detailed' info on Diesel Conversions for SJ
Hello all, I've been visiting this forum for quite a while now, slowly collecting research, but more recently I signed up. For probably 5 years now, I've wanted to buy a Suzuki SJ, but have never got round to it. However now I'm ready to buy one. I'm currently looking for the right one, so I'll post...
