Jimny Diesel engine conversion

This is a brief log of the work i did to convert a 2000 Suzuki Jimny JLX to a 1.5TD Isuzu engine from a Vauxhall Corsa B. It was great fun and i miss it a lot, that's why i'm going to build another one, watch this space.....

Greetings from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy. I have a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a 1.3 LT m13a petrol engine from 2001, all original, which I use to go to the countryside, the woods and the mountains on farm and forest roads.

that's awesome. Isuzu diesels for everyone !

It's funny over here in thailand (where we have a million of those little 2L diesels). We see these swaps everywhere. Makes we wonder why no one back home ever bought a couple shipping crates of them (for offroad only use of course). Everyone is obsessed about importing from Japan, but there are many models that weren't even make in japan.

Seriously impressive. I felt chuffed for changing a fan belt on mine 😂

One of the best diesel engines ever built Isuzu from the 1.5 all way up dmax 3l

Excellent, always wished my Suzuki Gypsy was diesel

[@captcade2913]

Sounds good with that diesel doesn’t it

[@mickwolf1077]

great job, the jimny, Sierra & Daihatsu Rocky are all lightweight 4x4s but still capable up bush and cheaper to run. any car imo is fun to drive.

One of the best Suzuki content videos I've seen on RUclips, fair play.
I have a 2002 grand vitara, with the 1.6 engine, I'm always saying how much better it would be with something like a VAG PD or Peugeot 1.6hdi engine.
Sadly I neither have the knowledge or equipment to even consider having a go.
Your Jimny sounded great with the D engine, and exhaust setup

Thanks, i really appreciate the comment

That little box around the soliniod was the immobiliser

[@lmalesci]

hi greetings from Pontassieve province of Florence Italy the question comes to me spontaneously how do you do in England with the vehicle inspection at the civil motorization if you do a swap with a different type of engine compared to the original factory engine that is indicated in the vehicle registration document?

[@samcoates7519]

its not had an MOT since 2021 :(

[@Ayuivbhg]

Did you use the jimny gear box and it bolted on c

[@bensshed5324]

@Ayuivbhg no I used a gm r25 gearbox
