1987 Toyota Van 4x4 LE 4YE 4Y Megasquirt Turbo Walk Around and Drive 

Gushaman says NICE 😎

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 RU-vidr as well, and I'll have my whole build on my channel when I get to it.

Amazing! That’s a lot of knowledge and a heck of a lot of work.... VERY IMPRESSIVE!

This is awesome my family had one growing up... Yours looks like a freaking tank and it's dope!!!! I dig it.

I’ve always liked these vans.

Damn!! Badass build, sounds crazy too

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.

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!

Awesome build, that's great how you've updated that old engine with the ls coil packs & Mustang throttle.

thats awesome work

Epic build bro

Great work!

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

Awesome work man. I love your van, i got two of those and they are awesome vehicles and the 4y is a beast.

Amazing the Intellect, yet oddly enough vented in a Toyota Space Ship.

I had mine for 17yrs.

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.

14:40 is where I decided I'm boosting my van. LMAO

thats sick

Great video ! 👍I personally own 1986 1988 Toyota vans , It would be very interesting if you please make another RU-vid video where we can see the distributor side of the Van 🙏

the best

Yooooo your back! 💪

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)?

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?

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

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

Where did you route the hose coming off the pcv valve to?

I’ve got an 86 two wheel drive automatic, I like your build, what snorkel are you using?

This thing is awesome! Are they ladder on frame or unibody?

Very cool van , what app are you using on the tablet?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

How an electric Tesla motor! 😊

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.

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.

how many cylinders? and inline or v?

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.

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

Awesomeness!!

I put 400K miles on mine, eventually the body rusted out. Lots of fun before 4WD became trendy.

I remember these being terrible handling. With it being lifted and souped up how does it handle? Any suspension mods?

I wonder how that engine would work in a second gen 4 Runner

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?

What horse power is it at now? I missed that. Also what is your username on vantech?

они бывают с левый рулём!?

how did you get 30 inch tyres on that thing?

Hey brother where do you get parts for it?

How well has the engine stood up over time with the turbo?

Where get parts for this van?

Is it an automatic or a Manual?

can i do that on my 85 2wd toyota van?

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 😕

Turkiyede yok ki😢

Sell this thing to me!

For sale?
