MIKGTR Occasional Poster Registered: October 2004	Re: hiace go fast Wed, 06 April 2005 21:59 Hiya, I've been thru the same thing, trying to find more power with the 85 Hiace. All my mates own Hiaces as we use them to carry our mx bikes around. I've seen all types of conversions tried, the most succesaful have been the Aussie 3.8L Commodore V6. 350 Chev conversions aren't to bad but it gets a bit busy under the hood. You can buy conversion kits (engine mounts, gbox mounts etc)here in oz for those engines. A few guys have gone the turbo option but unless its for a show van or your dad owns a oil company I wouldn't do it. I've known of two turbo vans, one with a SR20DET Nissan engine and the other with a 2.5L Supra turbo engine and they have one thing in common... they get about 200 - 220 km from a tank of juice, the wind resistance of a van and a petrol turbo isn't a great combination. I went with high comp, bigger cam and ported the head (standard 3Y & 4Y heads have really bad port design) and It went a lot better, but had to run it on Premium Unleaded and still got 650km to a tank. If I did it again I would go with a 4Y EFI engine and just up the comp and give the head a good port job. Cheers Mick [Report message to a moderator]
