we got a prev aswell, 2.4 and yes, a bit underpowered (especialy since we're running gas...), went for a big drive today (250km) had to pick up some things, and damn, that still is a very very good car.

but S/C'ing this thing ? no..., I wouldn't

4A-GE · 07-05-2003, 03:57 PM

yea... the Previa has S/C .. ... only 95 or 96..? i forgot.. but it's still WAY underpowered... it uses Toyota F heads instead... only making 150hp.. ...

***Razo-E*** · 07-06-2003, 12:37 AM

wow, i saw another today...

RedruM · 07-06-2003, 02:07 AM

i've seen 4 done up previa's here in t.o.

they actually look good and yes 3 of um are s/c.ed

***CDNVITZ*** · 07-07-2003, 11:02 PM

I have seen two at least myself all done up nice here in T.O. too... actually Scarb.

one yellow one and a light blue one! I do not know if they were Sc'ed.

***BLUEMEANIE*** · 07-08-2003, 05:54 PM

I've seen a Previa with an S/C badge on it... soccer mom driving it too.

***Chris Corolla S*** · 07-08-2003, 07:03 PM

So what motor did they have??? 4AG-ZE or did they just slap an S/C on the 2.4????

RedruM · 07-09-2003, 01:14 AM

4agze... hehehe

the thing wouldn't move

TRD 4Runner · 07-09-2003, 12:36 PM

I think the Previa uses the 22R Truck motor.

It's underpowered for driving it teenager style...but the thing got a gob of torque.

S/C was an option during the van's last few years...and it was standard on the 4WD models as well.

S/C RWD ones do exist...but I think most S/C'ed Previas are 4WD.

5-speed Previas are VERY VERY rare, but they do exist. Same goes for the hyper yellow previas with dual sunroofs.

RedruM · 07-09-2003, 01:47 PM

dual sunroof

manual previa

***Chris Corolla S*** · 07-09-2003, 02:29 PM

Haha so you could get a Hyper Yellow, Super Charged, manual, rear wheel drive Previa with dual sun roofs? That sounds like a pimp van

YsGuy · 07-09-2003, 02:45 PM

I had a 5-speed Previa, not S/C tho. S/C was an option, then made standard on all Previas in the last two years.

5-speed Previa wasn't bad, our's had 242k on it when we sold it and never any major mechanical problems. Not fast by far though, gears had the ratio of a pick up truck. The 4 cyl was underpowered but torquey when needed.
