This unique fifth generation Toyota HiAce van gained a lot of attention at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2018. The owner Ju Sung Oh replaced the factory inline-four with a 3.8 L VR38DETT V6 from a Nissan R35. The owner states the engine makes around 500 horsepower but has plans to increase that to 800 horsepower in the future. The engine is mated to an upgraded HiAce 3.0 L turbodiesel transmission with a OS Giken clutch and differential. You can view more photos and details in SuperStreet’s article or at the owner’s Instagram.

      1. VR38DETT is a 3.8 liter V 6 cylinder twin turbo engine designed exclusively for the high-performance sports car “R35 GT-R” boasted by Japan. The initial model is 480 horsepower, and in the recent 2018 model, the output is increased to 570 horsepower (related article). In addition, while transferring the engine and exhaust system from GT – R, the transmission is surprised to correspond with the large remodeling cut and pasted Hi – A ‘s normal manual transmission (type G 55).

        1. Impressive work Ju Sung Oh. i want a similar project done. how much did it cost you to put it together and how long did it take? Keep up the great work mate.
