No. 02 onwards jimny has an M-series motor and will not adapt or bolt to the G series gearbox ( or vise-versa)
You will need a G13bb powered jimny to swap the vitara 1.6 motor in.
If you already have an M13 powered jimny then look into the Liana sport motors (M18) or even a basic (current) swift motor-M15.
The M15 should give you about the same power as the G16B vit motor, just a little less torque.
