Bigger engine in a Jimny or Grand Vitara shorty?

Post by Black Cat »

I am interested in buying a second 4WD (secondhand) and would like to know if anyone has ever put a larger than standard engine in either the Jimny or the SWB Grand Vitara? I was thinking of something around 1.8 litres for a Jimny and 2.5 for the Grand.

Thanks,
