Cheer loppee and Ben for the heads up.
Been reading a bit on
http://www.jimny.se There are a few people there who are running the g16a engine just with the Jimny Injection manifold and jimny camshaft as it has a 3 pin pole for the jimny camshaft sensor. Then with the g16a injectors for more fuel. They all claim the G16 runs mint on the standard Jimny ECU which is cool.

This is from the Jimny Site...
One of the most common “conversions” for Jimny / Samurai is the replacement of stock engine with the Vitara 1.6 engine (G16). It is quite easy to install it. I’ve done it my self (and I am just a financial analyst). You will have to keep Jimny’s engine intake, vent and camshaft. This is for keeping Jimny's electrical and computer (all the sensors, but 2, are fitted on the intake, and Vitara’s plugs are different). You will have to keep also the 2 sensors installed on the engine’s cylinder head (camshaft and “map” sensors) which fit exactly on Vitaras cylinder head. This is the reason you will have to keep Jimnys camshaft. It has a sensor on it and Vitara’s has not. If you wand even better performance I advise you to install Jimnys cylinder head on Vitara’s engine block. It fits at once with no conversions (just ask for a Jimny’s cylinder head flange). Further more I’ve replace the original injection becks with ones from the previous Grand Vitara (the gray colored, not the red or purple ones). In addition I’ve change the original fuel pressure valve with an adjustable one, and I give 3 bar fuel pressure (1.5 bar is stock).
The gear box is quite easy to install. The 2 screws (top side) just fit as they are. The only thing you have to do is to drill your gear box (there is plenty of room there) to fit the other 2 (the ones in the bottom side) on the engine block.
As far as the engine’s mounts, you will also have to drill a new hole on them in order to fit on your chassis.
This will not give you the enormous different. You will gain a little top speed (no more than 10km/h since your gear box will remain the same) and a more torque in low engine running (about 500 – 700 rpm lower) which is the most important I think.
It is an easy and cheap conversion, that has good “value for money and work”.
And believe it or not, I have less fuel consumption on my trips, since I drive almost everywhere with the 5th gear and about 3300 – 3800 rpm on 205/80/16 tyres.
An other engine that I know that fits easily is the G. vitara 1.6 engine (the previous model). Maybe even easier, since in that case you keep the G. Vitara intake, vent and camshaft, because they fit with jimny’s electrical. I discovered that after I had installed the Vitara engine on my car. I believe that G. Vitara engine is better solution since the engine runs with its stock intake, and camshaft (which means right air volume and valve operation)
I also have a friend that installed a G. Vitara 2.0 engine, with turbo on a Samurai. But this is a very difficult conversion and I don’t know exactly the steps.
