NUTKIN Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I have an idea but every one i speak to says yes but its just wrong. I have a toyota previa 8 seater 2.4 rear wheel drive it goes like stink but so does the fuel 6-12 mpg depending on how i drive it. I want to put a 2JZ GTE lump in it 400bhp twin turbo. I can get it to fit with some minor changes to floor pan whats your opinion on this or would u all banish me out of the club for such insanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Would be funny, but unless you have a large disposable income I wouldn't recommend it as I think selling it would be an issue. EDIT: I'm sure everybody would still accept you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTKIN Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I dont intend to sell it if i put engine in it. It will be my toy i have other cars to use so thats not an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajmartin23 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 ur deffo mad but it would be funny seein some lil chav get ruined lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyW Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Wouldn't like seeing it going round a corner with the right foot planted. Could be good fun though. Are you sure it'll fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Looking in the engine bay of one of those things things, I'd say you'd have your work cut out. It would certainly be a good project though. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUTKIN Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I can make anything fit cause the engine is underneath so its just a case of ventilation for turbos and floorpan adjustment. The handling is not a problem its lowered at mo on 19's but its quick on 17's i can drift it better than the supra it puts skylines an cossys to shame its funny. Its the only drifting people carrier my mates have seen in basildon on a sat night or in enfield at matalan some of u's may have seen it if u go down there iv seen a few supras there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I had actually thought of getting a VW touran and attaching it to a 4motion golf running gear.... but then got caught doing 115mph in it in stock form and thought better of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 That sounds like a great project. Would be so funny! Remember brakes and to strengthen the chassis though. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fri3ndly Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yeh you could even go the full works! http://www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/sections/carbage/pages/0293/main.jpg or not.... On a serious note I think it would be a good project and would definately be worth seeing the look on your everyday chavs face when he hears the sound of the 2JZ blowing him away.

NUTKIN Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 the chassis is the problem it flexes alot im thinking of making up a sort of roll cage which is brace bars aswell. The supra brakes i will try get on it. It has 120 mph on clock an goes way off that when flat out my tomtom said 135 so its used to speed. I feel safer at speed in prev than supra because supra feels like it will spin at any point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
