New to SJ's

Post by jonnyswift » Sun Dec 08, 2013 3:51 pm

Hi All,
New here John from Bristol
Just picked up a sj for some weekend fun.
I have been a suzuki maniac for years playing with gti's turboing and supercharging them.

welcome to the club:)

that swift looks insane! judging by that i think we should be expecting a wicked build thread for the sj.

so what are the plans for it?

:welcome2: to the forum matey! Let me guess the Sj is gonna end up with a swift lump?

I've always wanted a swift so I'm quite envious of those two! Presume the new one is being built out of a justy shell and transmission being 4wd? Looks awesome!!

Awesome sounds like a good plan, I'd maybe go for a supercharger over a turbo to help with the low down torque as that's what you want offroad.

Thanks :doublethumbs: I actually cleaned the Zuki today

If you ever want to pop over for a look or to ask any questions then feel free, I'm only up the road in corsham. Just make sure you bring the swift so you can take me out for a spin ;)

Scottie that looks the nuts!!!!
I have done a few supercharged swifts (rotrex charger) i didnt like it, with modern ecu's and turbos i can produce much more boost lower down the rpm range full boost 350 bhp 320lb/ft torque at 1.6 bar at 3000 rpm and then we have anti-lag, basically boost on tap and 9500 rpm limit.
I would love to come over maybe before christmas, i want to check out the ride quality on your yj's
my sj seems so stiff.
You will love the swift mental fast when you get it into 4th and full boost :shock:
need some parts as well so will post up in the wanted section.
