Because they're two completely different driving techniques, one centering on speed and endurance, the other based around flow, balance, and creativity.
And, if done properly, drifting around a corner is faster.
Seeing this video makes me feel as though I made a big mistake by trashing my 1994 Previa early last year to spend around 37 grand on fully equipped 2009 Sienna. I wish I had spent that money on my old van instead. If I did that I might have spent a lot less than what I spend on my Sienna and would been driving a great ride by now.
I think Toyota Initialy planned the platform of the Previa as a new sports car (Mid-Engine) witch went bad and just lengthened it and used it on the Previa. Dang man I wish I had a Previa!
Because its been done to death and theres nothing more awarding than whopping someones ass in a minivan with that "look of fart smell" on their faces when they try to figure it out.
I know its not very mature or responsible, but i'd love to see someone in something like that giving some high performace car driver a drifting lesson (and a ass spanking) out on the road..lol
it probably would also need some custom floorboards (to fit the motor and still give it some room to cool a bit), and of course using a 2WD model (so you can swap out the drivetrain to
a toyota 8.8 rear axle if need be for gear tuning and power handling)
The previa engine is much smaller than any engine you'll see. It's tilted at an angle too...
Although you can TRY to upgrade the engine, I doubt it. But if it's possible, I'd recommend you stick with a non SCed previa model, as i've heard their differentials are made for high rpms, and the s/ced are made for comfort.
that won't fit... and plus the turbos will take up too much room, and due to the inherent flaws of cooling on this van turbo should not even be looked at as an option...
I've been looking into tricking out a Previa too, and my choice of engine would probably be the 5VZ-E motor...
It will still need modding to the floorboards and engine bay itself, but it should be WAY less of a hassle on cooling (probably do a cut out on either side of the van and run a scoop and some ducting)
theres not much you can do to modify them , all i could do is a cold air filter and wrap headers w a turbo muffler. but the muffler free flowing i lost lots of torque but gained mpg's. what is a 5vz-e motor you speak of, who makesit??
the 5VZ-E, btw, is the 3.4 liter V6 motor used in the 3rd Gen 4Runners, last generation Tacomas, 1st generation Tundras, and other rear / 4wd vehicles in the U.S. Toyota lineup...
it's reliable, accepts power upgrades pretty damn well, and accepts supercharging pretty good as well, thus nearly eliminating the worry of heat soak that turbocharged motors would have.
yo this is hot, i tried 2 drift with my mom's but it didn't really do it so good cuz its got a negative differential, but no one really thinks that this van has potential, especially since its a mid engine RWD or AWD which i think is crazy
clearly there has been alot of work been done to this, sounds like it has a SR20DET motor in it. Deff. NOT a fake. go back to watchin fast and the furious children.
fake? u ass, Japanese prep previas and races them, they have more parts for them there than they do here for honda civics, you'd be surprised by the potential in this van, and yes....i own one, with a turbo
Mid engine van ftw!!!

what kind of engine/tranny are they using?
I would love to make mine like that in the future!!!
Previas are made RWD or some AWD. they are great and I always mess around with it even it has like 160k miles.
They are best minivan ever made!!!
my only concern right now will be beefing up the suspension on mine... spring is too soft in sotck form..
