the bb would have to be the easiest swap of all. (but also would have the least to gain) just pretend it is a g13a with a few more wires and everything bolts in the same

keep your standard engine mounts, you unbolt the engine mounts from your old block and bolt them to the g13bb.

you use a jimny top rad hose and one of the jimny heater hoses

use a sierra bottom hose and one of the sierra heater hoses

use jimny brake booster vacuum hose

bolts to the gearbox and they use the same clutch.

need to do wireing and plumb the airbox... DONE

i used a jimny accelorator cable and modded the pedal end

computer fits behind glovebox

i think it is a pretty big gain they rev harder than a g16b with standard exhausts manifolds they just don't have the torque. I have a freind with a g16b vit and i leave it behind up untill like 3rd gear after that it eats me. For me the improvement was well worth it. Even the fact that it starts straight away every time and sounds nice and runs smooth and would stay alive even upside down. I also like how they have coil packs instead of distrubutors, and i also like how they don't have the seperate air flow metres like g16b's do
