Hello, I picked up a 1991 Jimny straight out of Japan. From what I can tell its exactly the same as a samurai other than the right-hand drive and the turbo three Cylinder motor (660cc). Since the motor is OEM and fairly rare I would like to keep it that way, but I would like to move down the road a little better. As of now with 28 inch mud tires I cruise at 4000 RPM at 50 Mph. Does that RPM range sound about correct? To even make it in the slow lane on Sunday California I need to be cruising around 60 and a little lower RPM range I believe. Or do these small motors like to rev hi? Does anybody have any gearing advice or common knowledge to pass?
Thanks Jeremy
