So I designed a zero lag turbo charger

[stamar]

haha I always told people to guess what car we had based on the drive train lay out when they would ask.

btw passed my driving test in this sexy beast

mine was a really fruity eyeshadow mint green.

Next to the volkswagon new bug the most female owned car is the previa.



I had the sc version. Unfortunately they never made a manual sc version. But the auto trans in this thing is the same as the toyota truck ( I know this particularly bc I have a toyota truck) the most durable auto I know easily making it to 300k .
( edit the manual is also the same as the truck. The linkage is not. overall its part of the toyota truck line where the sienna is a big car)
I forgot to say, the previa also has dry sump oiling. Itss engine with maintenance has the pedigree to go a million miles.

Built for durability not for horsepower.

[stamar]

That is fair too.

It is functional at truck, sporty car, and mom van and even camper van ( notice the rear seats? the fold to the side not down using some ancient tech not used anymore creating a place to throw a matress or haul stuff.)

but particularly good at no one thing.

Its strength is its utility.

It died here in america because its gas mileage sucked. In europe they still buy them today.

I had one this year, a 95. It was supercharged, it had a clutched computer operated roots style supercharger.

rwd with some nice rear shocks.

It had 190 lb ft tq. it wasnt slow as is.

it had 16/22 epa mpg which is actually close to a modern full size american v8 gas mobile.

That roots supercharger will just suck gas if you want too go fast.

It definitely had a top speed around 120.

Its a great vehicle honestly and often very cheap on the used market. But it has very few engine upgrade options.

The biggest one would be to import the diesel version of the previa engine. It gets more like 35 mpg.

and also making a rotary fabricating a connection to the accessory drive( Giving it some thought this might not work anyway)


what a previa is really is its the truck of minivans. It can tow other cars or trailers, unlike the modern ones which are big camrys.

Sounds like a lump of metal trying to be everything and coming short on most of them..

We had the lowly DX N/A and no moon roofs :(

Truck status

[nickflic3]

YES! The first car I ever drove on a semi-regular basis was my parents '91 Previa. Think about it:

Supercharged + mid engined + rear wheel drive = Ferrari of minivans

I Just enjoy how this guy has made some great awesome thing. However he can not capitalize and words and uses bad grammar.

[Kvasi]

It screams hot rod , but on the opposite side it has the smallest engine of any car I know

And theres the win.

[stamar]

Almost like my parents miniwan. Their might be a littlebit badder than yours

oh no thats just a minivan. They made the winnebage lesharo based oon that thing.


I mean yoou can put a corvette engine in a minivan its still a minivan.


The previa is like he said, its a ferrari. Mid engine rwd or awd, independent suspension.

It screams hot rod , but on the opposite side it has the smallest engine bay of any car I know of including an rx7.

That's interesting. I need to read that more thoroughly when I'm not so tired.

You should. He is a genious onanother level, GM has a lot of stocks in an smalltime norwegian..

[BUDNUNTA]

Oh.... hi guys!

WTF
he works at the independent BMW place right by my house

[CorvallisBMW]

my dream car is a b13 too

in a toyota previa.

Toyota previa is one car that is almost impossible to engine swap. It has a cool very reliable engine of its own but its seperated into an engine and then a drive shaft that runs all the accessories.

Theres no room for any engine swap in its bay except for a rotary.

And believe me those things handle better than you think... it would be a pimp ride. RWD.

A freind of mine has "reinvented the wankel" actually, on paper it has potential to make 1000hp from 1000ccm without boost.

There's not a good reason for it.

Edit: Meant to reply to the "4 wheel steering" comment.
