Suzuki Jimny Turbo & Supercharger Kits Are Here: More Power, Same Jimny Reliability
The Suzuki Jimny is one of the most capable compact 4x4s on the planet — lightweight, tough, and insanely fun off-road. The only downside? The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine can feel underpowered once you add larger tires, armor, camping gear, or hit steep climbs. Today, VT Superchargers is officially launching two forced-induction upgrade paths for the Jimny: Turbo and Supercharger options built to deliver real-world torque, sharper throttle response, and OEM+ drivability.
Why Forced Induction on the Jimny?
A turbocharger or supercharger doesn’t just add “numbers” — it changes how the Jimny feels everywhere: stronger low-end pulling power, more confidence when merging or overtaking, and better capability when the trail gets steep or soft.
- More torque where you actually drive (low to mid RPM)
- Sharper throttle response and improved drivability
- Better performance under load (tires, roof rack, camping gear, towing)
- More confidence off-road on climbs, sand, and technical sections
Option 1: Suzuki Jimny Turbo Kit (JB74 1.5L)
Turbocharging uses exhaust energy to build boost and deliver strong gains through the mid-range and top end. If you want a Jimny that feels significantly stronger on-road and under load, the turbo route is a killer upgrade.
Turbo kit benefits
- Strong mid-range punch for overtakes and highway driving
- Improved performance at altitude
- Excellent for load carrying and long-distance touring
Option 2: VT Supercharger Kit for Suzuki Jimny 1.5L (JB74)
A supercharger is belt-driven, meaning boost comes on instantly with RPM — no waiting, no lag. For technical off-road driving, overlanding, and daily drivability, this is the “OEM+” feeling upgrade: smooth, linear, and responsive.
Supercharger kit benefits
- Instant response (no turbo lag)
- Linear power delivery that feels factory-smooth
- More low-end grunt for trails, sand, and climbs
Which One Should You Choose?
| Your Goal | Best Choice |
|---|---|
| Instant throttle response & smooth, linear feel | Supercharger |
| Maximum peak power potential | Turbo |
| Technical off-road / trails / crawling | Supercharger |
| Touring, load carrying, and highway use | Turbo |
Not sure? Start with how you drive: if you want instant low-end response, go supercharger. If you want stronger peak pull and highway performance, go turbo.

FAQ: Suzuki Jimny Turbo & Supercharger
Will this change daily drivability?
The whole point is improved drivability — more torque and better response. Turbo delivers strong mid-range pull; supercharger delivers instant, linear response.
Is tuning required?
Many forced-induction setups require ECU calibration for best performance and safety. Check the product listing details or contact us for the correct setup for your Jimny.
