hi there
my 89 zook 1.3 carby engine is just about dead. should i rebuild it and fit a single point injector system and supercharge it or should i rebuild the jimny motor that i have and supercharge it. the jimny motor is missing the wiring harness, computer and coil packs so it would be a lot cheaper to do my original engine. i am looking for more torque not horsepower so i dont think it is worth while do the jimny motor as it only has 4nm more and it going to cost 2-3 times more to do?

any comments

thanks guys

jimny motor would be a whole lot better once it is done mate.

Which jimny motor is it? the g13bb or the m13

A couple people on here run the g13bb one.

whats the ems system?

it would be quite costly just to grab the computer and make the loom for the jimny motor, but im supercharging mine atm, and they are a nice motor.

what supercharger you looking at using?
how much psi?
how are you mounting?

good luck!

havent worked any thing out yet, just toying with ideas. ems is a complete aftermarket computer and loom.

Which you'd likely need when supercharging anyway. Don't count the lack of stock ecu as much of a loss at all.
