turbo justy, awe yeah!

My dream is to twin engine swap a justy. Or put an ej20 in there.
If I do any engine swapping it will be for a Kubota 3 Cyl Diesel engine :) I have VERY distant plans of making a tube chassis to set the Justy body onto, fabbing up OE Samurai axles front and rear, and just trailing the hell out of it, lol.

nah, don't want any of that.
Just weld in a standard EJ engine cradle and drop in a 180+ hp ej engine. Either EG33 :D, or turbo'd ej22
The problem with the EJ engines is that I would have to completely redesign the entire front end, and I would also lose my 4wd :( The Kubota will literally drop into my engine bay, with only minor fabbing of 1 motor mount( my buddy has the Kubota in his shop for me to mess with ;))

nah, you wouldn't lose your 4wd, nor have to redesign the front end.

Some plate steel, a welder and some beer and a free weekend should do it.
Well, I suppose depending on your definition you would have to re-design your front end haha.

Turbo diesel justy :drool: That would be sweet to see that little thing rolling coal from a 4in stack right out the fender.

4 inch would be too much, maybe 3 max, more than likely 2.5 ;) I wish I was rolling all cylinders right now :( It would be a lot more fun offroad with the EF12 that is in it if it had some nuts behind it. I am usually 1st gear pinned @ 6k majority of a really rough and steep ascent :drunk:

You should snag one from a Suzuki dealer, or, I might be able to snag you one on the cheap since I work for one, lol. I haven't decided what exactly it will hold, but I do think it added some ruggedness to Rusty :)
So, I found out what it is perfect for :)


Paper towel/ TP holder while camping, lol. You can actually just roll each one out and tear off what you like ;)

Matt, I am searching for a clean, FWD 1st Gen to do just that :) I need to pay off a couple things and fix the current vehicles, but it will happen. The fleet of Justy's is not JUST a dream, lol.
