Suzuki Jimny Supercharged To 142 HP, But Is It Worth $7,000?

Suzuki Jimny Supercharged To 142 HP, But Is It Worth ,000?
  • Harrop Engineering has introduced a supercharger kit for the Suzuki Jimny.
  • The kit increases power and torque by up to 142 hp and 124 lb-ft respectively.
  • The performance upgrades for the tiny off-roader cost AU$ 10,990 (US$ 6,900).

The Suzuki Jimny has long been celebrated as one of the most charming and capable off-roaders out there, but let’s face it—its power output isn’t exactly its strongest suit. Thankfully, Harrop Engineering, an Australian tuning company, has stepped in with a solution that’s bound to get Jimny fans interested: a new supercharger kit for its modest 1.5-liter engine, promising a hefty boost in power and torque.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});

The supercharger kit is aimed squarely at Jimny owners who have turned their plucky 4x4s into off-road warriors. Whether your Jimny is weighed down by overlanding gear, oversized wheels, or just your own desire for more oomph, this kit delivers. It’s compatible with both three-door and five-door variants.

In stock form, Suzuki’s non-electrified 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine generates 101 hp (75 kW / 102 PS) and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque. Harrop was able to increase those numbers to a beefier 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) and 149 Nm (110 lb-ft).

window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-a-mid’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article’,
placement: ‘Mid Article’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});

window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-oc-2×1’,
container: ‘taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic’,
placement: ‘Mid Article Thumbnails Organic’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});

The healthy boost was made possible thanks to the TVS900 supercharger, complemented by a recalibrated ECU, a water-to-air intercooler, a custom carbon-fiber airbox with a 2.5-inch inlet, and a bypass valve that enhances fuel efficiency at lower RPMs.

Furthermore, those who pair the supercharger with a snorkel for a cold-air induction effect and an aftermarket exhaust could see even greater gains, with output rising to 142 hp (106 kW / 144 PS) and 168 Nm (124 lb-ft) of torque, as confirmed by dyno testing.

This might be less powerful than the turbocharged Jimny by UK-based tuner Twisted, but the increase sounds substantial enough to be noticeable on the road.

That said, there’s a catch, as this kit is only compatible with Jimnys fitted with an automatic gearbox. According to CarExpert, manual-transmission models would require additional modifications to handle the increased torque, which could be a dealbreaker for purists who swear by the five-speed manual.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751”);
}
});

Is It Worth the Cost?

As appealing as the performance gains are, the kit’s price tag on the official website may give some enthusiasts pause. At AU$ 10,990 (US$ 6,900), it’s a substantial investment, especially when you consider the Jimny’s starting price of AU$ 34,990 (US$ 21,900) in Australia. For budget-conscious tuners, a cheaper turbocharger kit from another supplier might be worth exploring.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751”);
}
});
