Question 1

Is the Suzuki Jimny JB64 legal to import to the US?

Accepted Answer

Not yet—the JB64 launched in 2018 and is subject to the 25-year rule. However, Gen3 Jimnys (JB23 with similar styling and performance) are now eligible starting 2025, and ZervTek can help you plan in advance.

Question 2

Which engine is better—660cc turbo or 1.3L NA?

Accepted Answer

It depends on vibe. The 660cc F6A turbo is pure Kei aggression—lightweight, rev-happy, and great in tight terrain. The 1.3L G13BB offers smoother torque and slightly better high-speed comfort. For classic import lovers, the turbo wins on character.

Question 3

What are common mechanical issues in older Jimnys?

Accepted Answer

Watch for wastegate rattle on F6A turbos, rear diff oil leaks especially on lifted units, and clutch slave cylinder failure causing gear grinding and fluid leaks. ZervTek inspections check these issues pre-shipping.
