I just posted on the Toyota Van Facebook page that I will be doing a custom turbo on my '85 TV using Microsquirt, LSx coils, etc. and someone posted the link to this video. Awesome that you basically have the setup that I though up for my van over the last week. I'm a small time TH-camr as well, and I'll have my whole build on my channel when I get to it.
That's awesome. Hit me up with any questions along the way. I've been through everything, twice. Literally two different turbo builds on the same Van.
@@crhgarage308 hie plz help me with the details on how to install a turbo on a 4y and just a mechanic i have no idea how one can install a turbo thanks
Gushaman says NICE 😎
The way you’ve made those old oem sensors obsolete is genius, and is really something I need to do with my van. TEACH ME SENPAI!
I’ve always liked these vans.
Damn!! Badass build, sounds crazy too
This is awesome my family had one growing up... Yours looks like a freaking tank and it's dope!!!! I dig it.
I had the same idea about moving the battery to the rear heater core area, It's so cool to see that someone did it before I attempt the conversion.
Amazing! That’s a lot of knowledge and a heck of a lot of work.... VERY IMPRESSIVE!
Amazing the Intellect, yet oddly enough vented in a Toyota Space Ship.
Awesome build, that's great how you've updated that old engine with the ls coil packs & Mustang throttle.
Thanks for watching! That has been the exact purpose of the build. I wanted to unlock the full potential of the Toyota 4Y engine. Updated fuel injection, and a turbo has really woken it up.
I had mine for 17yrs.
That's awesome! I've owned, and driven, this van since 2005.
Damnit. I've been cooking almost this exact build up in my head and compiling lists and stockpiling parts and you beat me to it! Haha. I have a rebuilt 14t ready for mine.
At least now you know it can work 😉
@@crhgarage308 Yup, I think the most difficult part for me is going to be fabbing up an exhaust manifold. Not sure where to begin, guess I'll have to just send it. Good idea on the mustang throttle body, where'd you get the spacer?
eBay. One of the reasons I pick common parts for fabrication upgrades is due to the availability of aftermarket parts. Way better than no longer available van parts. I used the stock manifold and ran the turbo right after the flange.
CRH Garage You need to make more videos of this! I’m about to turbo my 4y carbureted and would love to know/see more
Epic build bro
Awesome work man. I love your van, i got two of those and they are awesome vehicles and the 4y is a beast.
I also have two fucking Toyota vans man 😁🤘
14:40 is where I decided I'm boosting my van. LMAO
They are good motors I’ve got the space cruiser just put a 2.2 engine in it but I am impressed with what you have done
thats awesome work
Great video ! 👍I personally own 1986 1988 Toyota vans , It would be very interesting if you please make another TH-cam video where we can see the distributor side of the Van 🙏
Great work!
thats sick
CLEAN!! It sounds amazing too, really impressive work. What area of Utah are you in?? I'm in south salt lake area and have the same year of van but 2WD! Small world
the best
Yooooo your back! 💪
This thing is awesome! Are they ladder on frame or unibody?
I put 400K miles on mine, eventually the body rusted out. Lots of fun before 4WD became trendy.
Whanna sell it ??
@@alejandrocarbajal5842 I donated it to a charity chop shop.
Omg your van is glorious! I just got an 89. Hoping to do some basic upgrades. Can you give me any pointers about where to start? What’s the first mod you would do from stock? Hoping for a lift and better tires but any suggestions for engine/exhaust/cooling/suspension upgrades to do first? Thanks! Subscribed.
Thanks, and congrats! First thing you need to do is get familiar with Toyotavantech.com. I wouldn't modify anything until the van was running and driving perfectly. From there just modify the first thing you want. I don't have any tutorials, but I hope to be an inspiration.
@@crhgarage308 awesome! thanks for the recommendation! She runs great as is but curious what a motor like this could most benefit from. If you have any thoughts on most bang-for-buck mods lmk, I know some basic mechanics but i'm a novice when it comes to upgrades.
The 4y likes to breathe, but from the factory the airbox and exhaust are really restrictive. To start, opening up the Intake and exhaust will help.
How an electric Tesla motor! 😊
How did you lift your Van? Please help me with knowledge on how you lifted your van cause I have 2 4x4 vans and I want to lift at least one ASAP.
This is great! I got one of those (manual YR20 MY84 with satin red interior) myself before I realized how hard it is to source parts for the car and especially the engine here in Germany. Unfortunately my 2Y engine is not in a good condition even though it only has 80k miles on it. I never found much on the 4Y swap on the vantech forums but as the 2Y really is on the lower end for travelling purposes I am looking forward to swap a 4Y(not sure which variant yet) if I can source one and do not need to import it from South Africa or Australia (they are super rare in Germany). If I don't need the turbo for travelling, which Variant of the 4Y do you suggest?
Thanks a lot, this is really inspiring and even entertaining :D
Thanks! I really like the 4YE that we have in our vans here in the US. Though the EFI is antiquated, they are multi port injected, and that helps make them more easily upgradable. I'm not a big fan of carburetors. All the 4Y short blocks are essentially the same. It comes down to the head, intake and exhaust manifolds, ignition, and fuel delivery.
Awesomeness!!
I'll see what I can come up with.
Have you ever by chance made any write-ups/guides for doing this work? I'd like to attempt this but I'm a noob and would definitely need some guides. Hell, I'd pay for one.
Hi there I have a 87 toyota van 4wd also 👍is stuck , I want to upgrade my tires to all terrain, right now van van still has 14 “rims , I live in California, do you know a place or shop to take care my van to lift it?
Where did you route the hose coming off the pcv valve to?
Hey man I just bought one of these it has been sittin for year
All the fuel lines are rotted
Well I’m trying to figure out the route for all the lines
Any way you could give me some insight
What OBD software/App are you running? I have a ‘90 Lite Ace (Japanese domestic w/glass roof) w/a 3Y-U engine. I was looking at gauges but that App seems smarter. Also, how does the turbo affect your mpg? My van is pretty gutless, but I am more as interested in fuel efficiency than power since putting on 27” AT tires and losing anywhere from about 4-6 mpg. Thank you
The gauge app is Shadow Tuner. It is specifically designed to interface with megasquirt stand alone ECUs. With the turbo I can get close to 30mpg on flat highway going 65, and as low as 12mpg if I floor it everywhere around town. I can get about 17mpg loaded with about 1500 pounds in the van, and pulling a 1500 pound trailer through hills and mountains. I'm very pleased with the project so far.
Those are some pretty impressive stats. Do you recall what it was getting you (mpg.) prior to adding the turbo? Could someone add a turbo to a 3-Y like I have?
@@l.ahlgren7752 I was getting 16-20mpg prior to the turbo. Where there's a will, there's a way. I'm sure a turbo can be installed, it's a matter of whether it's practical.
@@crhgarage308 i cant find the app
I have the same van, 87 5spd 4x4 with the 4YE, ive heard people use springs in the rear to lift it enough to fit larger tires, but other than cutting and larger tires, did you do anything to lift the front? great video! thanks!
The front is lifted by cranking the torsion bars. For more travel I moved the downward bump stops, and extended the shock tower. I'm running sky jacker shocks up front, and fox shocks in the rear. I wanted the factory spring rate in the rear so rather than new springs I fabricated spacers for the spring perch.
@@crhgarage308 Oh wow! thanks for the reply! I figured torsion bars would be a good place to start but i wanted to make sure there wasnt a better way, Ive been looking around at old forum posts and stuff but wasn't really having any luck. How much lift did you get up front with torsion bar cranking alone (not including tires)? Did the shocks add to that at all? also if you have the model numbers for those shocks that would be awesome. Thanks so much! Its all ready to go camping, but ive been hesitant to lift it because i was having trouble finding information about it. Great van and video!
I need one now
What did you run for the ignition? Did you use the megasquirt to control it also. I am about to do this to my 4wd van. Turbo and all.
The MS3 Pro controls it all. I use a GM crank sensor with a custom wheel mounted at the crank. As well as the stock distributor sensor (distributor is shaved with a custom cover). That way I can run sequential injection and coil on plug. It's an awesome upgrade. You'll enjoy it.
@@crhgarage308 what size is the exhaust housing on that turbo.
@@volvosruinedmylife it's a IHI VF39, I'm not sure of the specs.
Very cool van , what app are you using on the tablet?
Thanks! The app is Shadow Dash. It works directly with the MS3PRO via USB or Bluetooth adapter.
I’ve got an 86 two wheel drive automatic, I like your build, what snorkel are you using?
Thanks! I fabricated it using 3 inch exhaust tubing.
hey dude! where are you located, I have a similar van I've been crankin away at, lookin to get some advice on. Love your rig.
Hello! I replied to your message on toyotavantech.com
can one do the mega squirt efi mods without going turbo?
...
my favorite thing you did was moving the electrical to the rear hvac compartment, it's a wayyyy better spot.
Thanks! Yeah, you can replace the stock ECU with a standalone EFI and keep it naturally aspirated.
Quick question- If I sourced an EFI off a junked 4Y, would I be able to flip my 3Y into a fuel injected one (as a 1st step towards your typa set-up)?
Any idea if hooking a battery up backwards on this van will fry the computer without blowing any fuses? The fuses are fine, but I know the van drove at one point and has been sitting for a few years since the supposed battery incident.
Nvm, found the 2.0 fusible link.
how did you get 30 inch tyres on that thing?
A little lift, and a lot of cutting and fabrication.
@@crhgarage308 Thats pretty cool. I think its pretty unique with the snorkel and the lift.
I have an 89 LE 4x4 automatic with 271,000 I was told recently it has a burnt valve, now I'm considering rebuilding the engine. Do you have a shop? Or have any good recommendations? I would love to have this turbo setup done to my van.
Sorry, I do all my own work, and I don't have a shop. The only recommendation I have is to check out toyotavantech.com for technical information.
Hey brother where do you get parts for it?
I bought an 87 4x4 van on Monday and am getting familiar with it. I'd love to ask you a few questions about your van if you have time. Like how/where do I add transmission fluid?
What horse power is it at now? I missed that. Also what is your username on vantech?
I haven't had it on a dyno yet, but at 16psi now and my injectors are maxed out which would put it over 200hp. Over there I'm VanCo.
I remember these being terrible handling. With it being lifted and souped up how does it handle? Any suspension mods?
It's lifted with skyjacker shocks in the front and fox shocks in the rear. Rear sway bar broke and I haven't replaced it. Front sway bar is still connected but needs bushings. It's drivable, but it handles like a wet sponge.
I wonder how that engine would work in a second gen 4 Runner
how many cylinders? and inline or v?
Is there a Mega Squirt for dummies? I never seen to find what I'm looking for, so I never commit
Going this route would be great, I also have a 1UZ sitting on the stand I got for cheap. Auto electrical was the one cert I bothered to get, but it doesn't mean everything 😕
Look up "MS3Pro ULTIMATE User Manual" even if you don't get the ms3 specifically this manual goes in depth on all the ECU functions.
@@crhgarage308 thanks!
Are you on the "1984-89 toyota van group" Facebook group?
@@williamshaw3rd I am not, but I am on toyotavantech.com as VanCo.
Where get parts for this van?
I get my parts on eBay, Amazon, cross reference parts to more popular Toyotas, etc.
@@crhgarage308 thanks
How well has the engine stood up over time with the turbo?
Awesome actually. 10,000 really hard miles. I've maxed out the injectors at 16psi and blow by hasn't increased, compression is still good, off boost power is still there. With a multi layer steel head gasket these engines seem engineered for boost.
@@crhgarage308 cool cool I'm looking to get one of these vans myself and I'm toying with the idea of supercharging it if I do get one. I have an sc12 supercharger from a 4agze and would like to see if it's possible to make it work with this engine. That's good to know that it stands up to boost.
@@crhgarage308 Ive had my van for a little over a year now and just now took it up into the mountains. It really struggled to maintain speed on some of the steeper slopes so i think im gonna turbocharge mine now instead. I do plan to do take it into the mountains a lot so the turbo would really help i think.
whats the model for these? Ive tried looking them up by just "toyota van" I want to do more research on these but looks like they are the privia?.....
They were officially named Toyota Van in the US market. They had other names in international markets. The Previa was the successor to this van.
@@crhgarage308 got it , seems kinda odd to search it by just that name I'm assuming they either made the non 4x4 or 4x4 versions , no trims in between .
can i do that on my 85 2wd toyota van?
With time and money anything is possible.
@@crhgarage308 hello sir the van still working ok? how much is for total installation

Sell this thing to me!
Is it an automatic or a Manual?

would you ever sell it? i am looking for one
I would sell it, but there is no way anyone would pay what I would need to feel good about it.
@@crhgarage308 what your ballpark price?
For sale?
Not for sale, sorry.
@@crhgarage308 you still own this?
@@crhgarage308 I love it
@@mrb6144 Yes, I do. Just took it out camping last week in fact.
